Two Good Yogurt ..... too good to be true?

Hello Everyone,

I have been doing very well with not eating more than 20g carbs in a day and with only eating when I am hungry. I started to miss yogurt as a food item and I have been having random sweet tooth cravings (32 days into keto). I was at the store and happened to find this yogurt called “two good” it has 3g total of carbs. I loved yogurt before keto. I think this could be my “treat”. The ingredients are: Cultured Grade A Reduced Fat Milk , Water, Contains Less Than 1% of Tapioca Starch, Natural Flavors , Lemon Juice Concentrate, Gellan Gum, Stevia Leaf Reb M, Fruit And Vegetable Juice Concentrate (For Color), Sea Salt , Active Yogurt Cultures L. bulgaricus & S. thermophilus

My question is can I eat this? It seems okay stevia leaf is the sweetener and its all natural; to my knowledge does not spike insulin levels.

What yogurt does everyone else eat? Can I eat this yogurt without negative outcome?

Figured out I can not tolerate sucrolose (its bad and stalls me out) so I have been looking into stevia and swerve. I was a sugar addict for 25 years old habits die hard; but at least I have not touched the “real stuff” in 32 days.

Thanks everyone!

Personally, I always overeat yoghurt, even the flavorless variety. It’s like dessert to me: I’m not hungry, but I’ll eat it anyway. You might be different.

I also think anything sweet will cause an insulin response, and might bring cravings. I try to have something sweet only sometimes. I will have some 85% chocolate and regular yoghurt for a birthday party, while everyone else eats cake or ice cream. I also eat regular ice cream on rare occasions, but it has to be rare.

I eat plain Greek yoghurt, it doesn’t seem sweet to me.

Too many things in that list I would pass on:
Lemon Juice
Fruit and vegetable juice
Tapioca starch
Reduced fat milk

I’d question the 3 grams statement being correct too, with those juices and reduced fat milk.

I’d just go with regular plain, Greek Yogurt and what my portion size. Right now I am using small serves of Kirkland’s Original Greek Style Yogurt. And I am in maintenance and eating more than 20 g carbs daily.

The yogurt I get has 4.1g carbs per 100g. Its “Authentic Greek yogurt” with 10.7g fat per 100g
ingredients: Natural Greek yogurt (cows Milk). Thats it.

(& make sure to check serving sizes, how much does that 3gcarb count apply to?)

Sounds a bit sus. I eat greek yoghurt that only has whole milk, cream and bugs and that says 6.1g of carbs per 100g.

I go with Fage Total 5%.

These are the ingredients:

Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Cream, Live Active Yogurt Cultures (L. Bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei).

Milk, cream, and live culture. That’s it. It is definitely not sweet.

200g serving = 10g fat, 18g protein, 6g carbs.

I tend to eat it 3 to 4 times a week, usually a little less than that 200g serving size. I get about 4 servings out of the 17oz container, so about 4.5 oz per.
