I was running around in 7-11 and found some dips. The tastiest one of all for me was the Tzatziki. The label said 4g of carbs per 100g, which seemed great. I looked at the ingredients to find that it is basically yogurt and green onions.

I thought yogurt, being a milk product, is much higher than this? It tastes very creamy and yogurt like. For 4g/100g it is sweet in its own way. I have come to find that if something tastes sweet, it generally is.

Any opinions on Tzatziki? At Atkins.com the carb counter says 12g.

don't use the atkins carb counters, it's american. use dietclub.com.au for australian counts

yoghurt has been the subject of many discussions. yoghurt has lactose in it (milk sugar) which is a no no. but there is a theory that the bacteria eats the lactose partially. i like tzatziki and have it occassionally, the trick is to not eat too much and stop if your loss stalls.

Tzatiki is that low-carb. It uses whole milk yogurt, which is generally 5-6g of carb per 100g. Four sounds kind of low if yogurt is the main ingredient, but I would say you'd shave a carb or two of that by it being bulked out by cucumber, green onions, watered down etc.

That's not taking any account of the yogurt deduction theory.
