Hello!
I have not forgotten about you! I hope things have gone well for you since I last blogged and hope that you found some encouragement in the 70 plus blogs I have written since January to help you with your weight loss.
For those of you who are new: Welcome! I began the blog to help myself and others follow a weight loss plan based on the book by self improvement author, Jorge Cruise. Our choice: The 100: Count ONLY Sugar Calories and Lose Up to 18 Lbs. in 2 Weeks.
This is a wonderful food plan that kicks you off to a great start.Why? It gets you on track to start cleansing your body of toxins and with its combination of foods get your weight loss going quick! The food plan book explains why this is effective and how to manage good food choices easily.
Three things on the topic I last wrote about: YOGURT! Just three quick things about it today:
1) A March 14th headline in the news had me barking up the right tree with my discussion on sugar content in commercial yogurts! I wrote that many of the choices on the marketplace did not quite fit the food plan for The 100 as the sugar contents were too high.
“Dannon Teams Up With Michelle Obama’s Healthier Food Campaign Company Plans to Reduce Fat and Sugar in Yogurt Products” was the announcement. The first target: reducing sugar in yogurts marketed to youth. Danimals had been modified and taste tested by children who noticed no difference. Good stuff!
2) Jorge Cruise had made the right conclusion before I did that FAGE Greek Yogurt was the best for our weight loss plan.
He has listed this product in the section on Dairy in the “Other” category! How great is it that our own comparison concluded the same!
3) Professor Andrew Novakovic recently spoke on a local radio station discussing Greek Yogurt. He teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York where there is an extensive program in Agriculture, Food Science and the Economics of Dairy Markets. New York State is significant in the size of its dairy industry.
Professor Novakovic shared that the Greek style yogurts are so popular because they are nutritionally good products. Specifically, he stated that Greek style yogurts offer higher protein per serving. He shared that the Chobani Yogurt company has invested into the food science research at the university. Part of their work: using the Greek style to make new products. Greek style beverages and ice cream! Let’s look for that in a few years!**
Let’s hope that Chobani keeps the sugar low in all of these future products.
Let’s go on the ride together, and get on Cruise Control!
