the go diet/yogurt
 

any comments on the go diet's stance on yogurt? i seem to have pissed everyone off at the atkins board by telling them i stray from the dr's plan. you would think that i had said something offending about their kids or something. anyway, the go diet's creators say that the bacteria in yogurt kills the sugar, down to 4 carbs per cup. i have been eating 1/2 a cup a day and still losing half a pound a day. any thoughts on this?

Im not sure either, however it seems that yiou and others who eat yogurt lose ok, also I read an artivle within the last month in First Magazine about how 1200 mil of calcium per day will make you lose weight om its own.
yu can only take 600 at ome time,body cant absorb more than that at one time, so one in the morning and one at night, I have been taking it but not regularily.

So the calcium in yogurt is a good thing and your losing, so keep eating it.

Question ? what yogurt are you eating, and do you know the foof paramitors on the go diet, I want to switch to it. It sounds like a healthier plan to me and Im not losing on Atkins hardly at all.

Have you tried go diet, andif so, whatdid you think and what did you eat.

Maybe you could send me a private message if u have been on go,, need some advise asap.

thanks,

Well, I'm so sorry this upset people - yogurt is a very healthy food, and if it's working on your diet, I really don't understand why anyone would feel a need to put it down. My goodness! Anyway, I would keep eating it if it's working . When I had some gastrointestinal distress on the LC diet, my doctor TOLD me to eat yogurt, just to be sure it had active cultures in it. It helped a lot and never hurt my weight at all. You go, girl! :)

It is just kind of silly. The authors I heard this from cited where they got their info from....whereas Atkins simply told me "count the carbs on the label". Atkins has not tested the yogurt theory, either. I don't like calling the 800 Atkins number or emailing them anymore. I think the studies that the Go-Diet authors did are correct.

I suggest you purchase The Four Corners Diet by Dr. Jack Goldberg. This book was just published and is in bookstores. I ordered mine from amazon.com. It's an excellent revision of the Go-Diet written by Dr. Goldberg.

In the book, Dr. Goldberg makes it simple to figure the carb count for yogurt -simply substract 1 gram carb for every ounce of yogurt.

For example a cup of whole milk yogurt that has 12 g. carb on the label should be counted as 4 grams carb. One cup of plain fat free yogurt that states 18 grams carb on the label should really be counted as 10 grams carb.

I love this diet and could never understand why it didn't grow more in popularity. It really improved my health tremendously. When I went off it, I started gaining weight again and saw a decline in my health.

I am back on the Four Corners (formerly Go) Diet, and am totally committed. It is now a lifestyle instead of just a diet, and I'll be on it for the rest of my life, because I don't like the way I felt when I went off it.

I highly recommend this book!

I actually am on Atkin's (modified now, of course) and I have yogurt very often. I think yogurt is one of those YMMV things - what works for some, doesn't work for others.

Personally, I love my yogurt (and yocheese) and I feel it adds more variety to my diet. It also satisfies my sweet tooth. :)

ya i pretty much follow atkins & i eat yogurt from time to time... 1/2 cup seems a lil much, tho?? i eat the 4oz carb counter ones.

I have found that I loose better when I eat my yogurt. I have been lax in eating it for a while now and I have also been gaining and loosing the same three pounds for about three months. Anyways, if yogurt is not a problem for you, go for it! I love mine with blueberry Da Vinci's!

I am addicted to yougurt myself, i was looking for a snack food that wouldnt trow me off line with the diet and found thoses low sugar, yogurt, and the organic ones are also very addictive the vanilla ones.

Its good to ear that they are good for me too.

what is the go diet?
 

forgive my ignorance, but what is the Go diet? Would you mind laying out the basic plan for me so I can see if I should get the book?

I'm struggling to lose the last 15 lbs, and even going up and down 5 extra. Can't seem to get an equilibrium.

I can't do Atkins, too restrictive, now I just doing my own thing which works when I apply myself.

Would like to hear more about "GO" if someone wouldn't mind explaining it to me.

Thanks folks

Maggie

i too made them angry but found atkins too extreme. have you tried greek yogurt? its so creamy and LESS carbs than regular yogurt. also drink almond milk, 2 carbs per 8 ounces AND enjoy one half cup mixed berries and splenda with the yogurt daily 2 pieces wasa ryekrisp with cheese daily and still keep it 60 or under in carbs.
