    Hey,

    I would say Greek yoghurt is totally the best if you can get it. I think Fage in the US is similar to this? Perhaps someone will clarify.

        Since you're in the USA, you should be able to find FAGE (greek yogurt). It's delicious and has only 3.5 carbs in 4 oz (the full fat version). Here's the website,
        FAGE USA

        I also like Actimel (3.6 carbs in 4 oz), but you'll have to look for the unflavored one. Their website is also below,

            There's also Chobani (I think that's the name), they make a whole milk version, and come in individual sizes and stuff too.

                  Buy the unflavored, plain yogurt. The fruit flavored ones all contain sugar and/or contain things (like fruit) that aren't allowed on Rung 2.

                    Greek yogurt is thicker than ordinary yogurt as it a lot of the liquid (whey) has been strained off from it.

                    There are many other makes of strained yogurt - not all made in greece so sometimes called 'strained yogurt' or 'greek styled yogurt'. I found Lidl (a cheapo supermarket in UK) carries a different brand for about half the price of the Fage brand.

                    Fage do a range of plain yogurt with different fat contents - so make sure you buy the higher fat one and not the fatfree one.
                    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                        I went to the store today and looked at yogurts and they are any where from 17-40 carbs per serving. Am I missing something? How can that be ok to eat?

                          When you look for yogurt look for plain yogurt. Nothing added - not fruits, sweeteners etc. And then look for as fatty yogurt as you can find. Where I am I can find 3 and 6% fat plain yogurt. My favourite yogurt the 6% fat one has 14 carbs for a cup. I eat a 1/4 cut at the time. So both for yogurt and cottage cheese you have to watch potion size.
                          Keep looking around. I spent a lot of time studying yogurt labels when I reached the dairy rung.
                          When you find a plain yogurt you can start making your own yogurt if you want. That is what I am doing today.
