Many thanks for any information you can give.

Hello Elizabeth and welcome
Be careful with the diet yoghurts of any type.
David, in his books, is not keen on artificial sweeteners and advises us not to eat anything low fat as we don't know what effect the process of making something low fat has on the body.
Also, Nestle has more in their diet yoghurt than is first apparent................
This is the Nutritional chart for their Lemon Meringue diet yoghurt.

	Average Quantity per Serving	% Daily Intake* (per Serving)	Average Quantity per 100g
Energy	227kJ (54Cal)	3%	151kJ (36Cal)
Protein	6.0g	12%	4.0g
Fat, Total	LES THAN 0.2g	0%	LESS THAN 0.15g
- Saturated	LESS THAN 0.1g	0%	LESS THAN 0.1g
Carbohydrate	6.6g	2%	4.4g
- Sugars	5.9g	7%	3.9g
- Fructose	0.5g		0.3g
- Sucrose	LESS THAN 0.1g		LESS THAN 0.1g
- Lactose	5.4g		3.6g
Dietary Fibre	1.1g	4%	0.7g
Sodium	71mg	3%	47mg
Calcium	162mg (20%RDI**)		108mg

As you can see, they have separated the lactose from the sugars, lactose is no problem to us at all as it turns into glucose, which is fine.
There are nearly six grams of sugars in the yoghurt and in the ingredients list on their website, there is added fruit juice as well as the artificial sweeteners.
Your best bet is to have a plain yoghurt and add some kiwi fruit or blueberries to it for a little sweetness. David allows two pieces of fruit a day and no fruit juice.
The Liver Cleansing Muesli is excellent but I do add some kiwi fruit to that as, to me, it is a bit like eating cardboard. And I have this with full cream milk.
cheers
