Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Have you tried the Dannon Carb Control Yogurt?
DONT!!! ICK!!! I bought the raspberries and cream. It tastes like like Pepto Bismol. It is chalky in texture, watered down tasting, and is in everyway like true Pepto Bismol except for a few seeds and the viscocity.I magine Pepto with some gelatin added to thicken it. I took 2 bites and wanted to gag. The texture and taste combo is all WRONG!!! Don't waste your moola on this one. Laureen > DONT!!! ICK!!! I bought the raspberries and cream.

Look at the ingredients. Look how they wave a bit of culture over it towards the end so that they can "honestly" say it's yogurt. Water, ultra-filtered skim milk, cream, raspberry puree, contains less than 1% of whey protein concentrate, modified corn starch, Kosher gelatin, natural and artificial flavors, sucralose, potassium sorbate (to maintain freshness), Red 40, malic acid, Blue 1, sodium citrate. Contains active yogurt cultures. Wow... I love them. Of course I've never been a real yogurt eater so maybe REAL yogurt tastes better but I still imagine they're a pretty good healthful snack coming in at 60 cals and 3 grams of carb. > Wow...

I had no problem with the yogurt..I thought it tasted fine. Although I did find I preferred the Raspberry over the others.. Even my husband likes it and he never was a big yogurt fan...

"Food companies" are very intelligent and have a resourceful way of getting rid of their garbage without using landfill hehe. Actually the person who started this thread, Laureen, did not like it at all. >From: Crafting Mom CraftingMom@fakeaddress.com >>>From: Crafting Mom >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >Actually the person who started this thread, Laureen, did not like >it at all. Ironically, I just saw my son eating one those:( He & his wife (who are both fairly fit & very thin) have gone on the "South Beach diet" because his latest physical showed cholesteral issues. goD forbid that they should eat like Mom & just cut out junk food:)Robyn I buy the plain no sugar added full fat Stoneybrook Farms yogurt (or Dannon) then add vanilla extract and a couple drops of splenda....its wonderful. My 6 year old loves it and I have a spoonful or 2 of his. I don't eat it alot cause I am unsure of the carbs. bad /good do the active cultures eat up the carbs like I've read I'm not sure and don't want to chance it. But it is more delicious then any other yogurt I've had. Linda > DONT!!! ICK!!! I bought the raspberries and cream. It tastes like like > Pepto Bismol.

Aren't the Dannon ones about half that size? So you actually get more carbs and an inferior product! Such a deal!

Such a deal! yep. reading the ingredients will reveal that the first ingredient, (the ingredients are listed in descending order most --> least) is WATER. CM >I buy the plain no sugar added full fat Stoneybrook Farms yogurt (or >Dannon) then add vanilla extract and a couple drops of splenda....its >wonderful. I do something similar. The only yogurt I have ever really liked was Breyer's Key Lime flavor (I like tartness in yogurt). So now I get the Stonyfield Farms one (plain, full-fat, cream-on-top) and add two or three drops of Boyajian lime oil and a couple of drops of liquid splenda syrup base. The flavor is just about exactly the same as they Breyer's key lime -- however, the texture is not. It's not custardy, like the Breyer's; it's kinda soupy, especially after stirring in the lime flavoring. Do you have this same issue? >I don't eat it alot cause I am unsure of the carbs. bad /good do the >active cultures eat up the carbs like I've read I'm not sure and don't >want to chance it. Jenny's suggestion to treat it as about 5 g carb per cup seems pretty reasonable to me. I had it for breakfast this morning, and my BG was 76 before eating it and 78 afterwards -- it would have been more like 95 if it were the full 16 g of carbs listed on the label. >But it is more delicious then any other yogurt I've had. Not only is better tasting than the Dannon low-carb one, and has much nicer ingredients, and is just as low-carb -- it is _so_ much cheaper! It costs less for a full quart of this nice stuff than for four puny little half-cups of the Dannon.

Do you have > this same issue? No not when I use the Stoneyfield or Dannon, but when I bought one from the natural food store (I forget the name) it was a bit soupy but still tasted good. Nice to know to count as only 5, I'll have it more often now. Linda > >I buy the plain no sugar added full fat Stoneybrook Farms yogurt (or > >Dannon) then add vanilla extract and a couple drops of splenda....its [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Em I bought the dannon low carb ones for a bit there. Still do, my kids like it and they are on the go alot, its easy to grab and pack. I took the suggestions here on how to make your own, adding different things to it. I use Atkins 0 carb vanilla flavoring, some cinnamin, and fresh berries. Its really really good. The kids can't get enough of it. They love it too. I usually buy 2-3 containers a week of it. The plain, no sugar added, full fat kind. Family of 5 to feed. They snack on it, or have it for breakfast. > DONT!!! ICK!!! I bought the raspberries and cream. It tastes like like > Pepto Bismol.

The only other kind I've seen here is the peach but I don't like the taste of peaches so don't buy it. It makes a nice snack when you are wanting something a little sweet. I have no problems with it other than possibly the price. The containers are smaller than what yogurt comes in but these seem to be just enough for me. I even wrote to Dannon telling them how much I enjoyed it and they sent me three coupons, 2 for $.50 off and one for a free pack. Someone must like it because the strawberry is usually sold out in Food Lion. They always have a huge supply of the peach on the shelves though.

They really aren't that bad (I do concur on the peach, tho - wasn't that impressed) |
