    I was just wondering if the nestle diet range or the forme range of yogurt is still okay to eat as it does contain fructose in the ingredient list about a third of the way down. They are suggested in the book and are low in sugar otherwise. I am a little confused. My family like yogurt at lunch or as a snack. I am wondering if the ingredients have changed recently? Thankyou Denise

    If it lists fructose in the ingredients I would avoid it. Yoghurt ids OK up to 5% "sugar" because that is lactose (milk sugar) which is metabolized to glucose. The flavoured yoghurts should be avoided.

    Thank you for the comment. I will try and find a yoghurt without fructose on the ingredient list that tastes okay!

    agreed, your best off avoiding those types of yogurt.  You can buy one, it's Tamar Valley brand with no added sugar, it does come in different flavours however it does contain artifical sweeteners.  Instead why not go for normal full fat greek yoghurt with frozen berries.  To begin with I mixed in some dextrose and a splash of vanilla in my yoghurt.  Now I don't have any at all, although I do like a spoonful of cream mixed in and some vanilla.  Defrost some frozen mixed berries and you have the best yoghurt!

    Thank you for that. I will try to sweeten the plain yoghurt. I have found the Tamar Valley yoghurt but haven't tried it yet. The sweetner in it is a "your call" sweetner so I will see which one everyone prefer as they do miss yogurt.

    Hi.  Anything that says 'diet' on it is likely to be a 'no'.  It's likely to add sugar or other sweeteners to be 'low fat'.  Your best bet is a greek yoghurt, the only ingredients you want are milk and culture.  

    I abandoned cereal altogether.  If you don't like milk, why would you like a product that is basically sour milk ? Any yoghurt that is sweet, is bad.  I have a cooked breakfast, like mushrooms, eggs, proscuitto.  I tend to have a lighter lunch, but you could have toast with avocado or similar for breakfast if you prefer.  What cereal are you having ? There's almost none that are sugar free.  I looked forever for a sugar free muesli, but ended up just giving up on trying to eat it.

    Yoghurt is OK to about 5% because 4.7% id milk sugar which is metabolised as glucose and therefore OK.  Just avoid the flavoured ones because they have the flavour replaced with sugar and salt.

    Basic rolled oats are very low in sugar and so are Weetbix. If you look around [Coles is good] you can fin meuslis with low sugar but they are a bit bland (of course!). Adding crushed nuts and a honey replacement like Rice Malt Syrup enliven them a bit, as does yoghurt.

    Woolworths have their own range of health food which includes a sugar free muesli.  But I looked for it and once I found it, realised that as I had it with yoghurt and fruit, the fruit still had frucose, so I moved on.

    I would go a different type of yoghurt like greek, sweeten it with vanilla and dextrose or rice malt syrup to sweeten it up a bit.  You can easily make your own museli and I've done it a few times.  Melt some butter with rice malt syrup.  In a bowl mix some rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pepitas (or any other seeds of choise), shreded coconut and some crushed nuts (I like crushed almonds and cashews), you and also mix in some dextrose depending on how sweet you want it.  Mix in melted butter.  Spread on tray and cook in moderate oven until golden.  It will keep well in the cupboard in an air tight container.I love it with some greek yoghurt and frozen berries.
