is yogurt healthy for a diet to lose weight?
okay so my new years resolution is to lose weight. i’ve never been on a diet or tried to do the diet thing, but i find my motabolism is slowing down and my size 8 jeans are getting snug. i’ve been the same size for a while, but as with every lady in my family they all gain weight after graduating from high school. i don’t want “the freshmen 15” i don’t want to gain weight and i want to eat healthier. i am also working on my cardio and on an ab lounge… so any tips on healthy foods! HELP!? Thanks a lot!

You have to read the labels, because some yogurt has as much sugar as a desert.
Jello is only ten or so calories and you can get sugar free.
Pickles have about ten calories.
Vegetables are always good.
Try to drop sugar and heavy foods with butter or cheese.

Good foods for losing weight:
you need a diet of no more or less than 1200 cals a day, btw
1. grapefruit
2. whole wheat bread
3. raw organic apple cider vinegar- 1 tbsp in 8oz water before each meal
4. nuts- handful
5. eggs
6. lean chicken breast
7. lean meats
8. fruits and veggies, especially those that are really fiborous, like figs, apples, oranges, bananas, broccoli, etc.
9. milk products that are skimmed, like what you asked- skim yogurt and milk
10. cereals that are whole grain and natural

Yougurt is fine! If youre really concerned just eat low fat yogurt. But I love it, its gerat for morning smoothies or snacks, and you can make a lot of healthy desserts with it.

Good Luck and Kick the freshman 15 in the pants!

If yogurt contains live cultures, the bacteria can help to loose weight. Aerobic exercise is also wonderful for losing weight. Just be careful not to over-do anything.

i would say fruits like apples and bannas are much healthier yogurt has alot of dairy which sometimes really doesnt help to weight loss i would kind of stay away unless it was fat free or something

be sure to watch your carb intake. eat more proteins and veggies. but yes, it is recommended for girls/women to eat 1 cup of yogurt a day. this helps w/ calcium levels as well as a good diet. just don’t make yogurt the only thing you eat, you’ve gotta have a balance. exercise helps too.

Yogurt is great. Yogurt increases the good bacteria in your digestive system (acidophilus) and in turn wards off the bad stuff (LOTS of others..) After eating a bunch of the same bad food, the good guys die off and the bad guys start to take over…
So eating yogurt can help increase your overall metabolism, yes.

sure, vegetables are good crunchy snacks along with jello, and oatmeal is a good breakfast food (no butter, maybe a little brown sugar is good). Yogurt is good (if your worried about too much sugar, get the plain kind).
Good Luck and Congratulations on thinking Healthy

That lady is right about the sugar – lots of sugar in yogurt. Cut down your sugars – eat carbs like brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, slow cook oatmeal WITH lean proteins like chicken breasts, fish, egg whites, low fat cottage cheese etc. And don’t forget that what you drink has calories too – drink water – not soda, or even fruit juice.
You’ve got to be really disciplined – the more work you put in, the more benefit you’ll see.
I wouldn’t go as low as 1200 calories per day, unless you can do it and not want to kill yourself – if I cut my calories that low I wouldn’t be able to think of anything but food 24-7. I think it’d be better to eat about 1600 and get exercise every day.

Yogurts suppress apetite, so it’s good for diet if no carb sugar. Plain yogurt is more healthier than with additives of fruits.
