Can I eat yoghurt while on the Atkins diet during the first 2 weeks?

if you can find plain whole milk yogurt that does not have any sugar added, and are keeping the rest of your carbs low enough, then, yes, I believe it can fit into the first stage of atkins. finding plain, whole milk yogurt without added sugar, however, can be hard.

Pardon my contradiction: As having done Atkins quite successfully losing 35 lbs. During the two week Induction stage Dr. Atkins does not recommend eating yogurt in any form as skim milk based yogurt has 13 gms of carbs in a 1 cup serving. In the Two Week induction the max carbs per day is 20. Eating the yogurt will take up a lot of carbs that could be better spent on allowable vegetables such as lettuce. Yogurt without sugar and without flavoring is 13 gms of natural milk sugar/carb. That's why dairy is not allowed on Induction phase.

I thought that 20g/day was allowed on induction?

That could leave room for 6g from a 8oz serving of Open Original Shared Link (that's one reason it has to be whole milk - skim milk yogurt would be replacing some of the fat content with sugar content), though 9g from an 8oz serving of Open Original Shared Link might be pushing it.

I would add, however, that both of those yogurts are tasty without any additions! :-)

Once you are out of induction, I say you can have yogurt (no sugar added). In my area they make a really good low carb yogurt called Blue Bunny carb freedom. It tastes so good and has 5 carbs in 8oz. I would eat this even if I was not watching my carbs.

Yes, 20 per day; but if yogurt (regular & low fat, this doesn't include the low carb yogurts - how they do that I don't know) has 13 even unflavored you've used up half your carbs in one sitting.

The only dairy allowed on Atkins induction is hard cheese such as cheddar, full cream, or cream cheese. That's it. The 20g carb limit gets spent mostly on the 3 cups of veggies (salad mix, plus veggies such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, stuff like that). Plus a max of 4 oz cheese/cream etc. Less of this is probably better. When you get into the yogurt products the sugar content is too high, hence higher carbs. And this 20g carbs adds up all too quickly. I miss yogurt, but I can do without it.

I am having such good results from a strict induction....I'm only on Day 6 and I'm already down 8 pounds, which is an absolute miracle for me because I've been unable to drop any weight at all for so long. This is almost effortless....and the limited carbs and lack of sugar makes it so you just aren't hungry and don't have cravings. I messed this up before by letting "unauthorized" foods creep into the induction.

If you want the best and fastest possible results, take my advice....do induction to the letter!

Dairy products have high amount of natural sugars (lactose and lactase) and that's where the carbs are coming from. Hard & cream cheeses are naturally lower in these sugars and that's why they are OK. Milk is one of the only "animal sourced products" that is high in carbs. All other animal products are pure protein and fat, no carbs. ;)

      I have been dealing with this same issue for our son who has Down’s Syndrome and Celiac Disease. Insurance, (Medicaid) outright will not cover the Gluten Free which is a capsule under the brand name Tirosint and another manufactured by Lanette and a third by Yaral.    Just yesterday, Medicare (not Medicaid) finally approved it but this was after 6 months of paying out of pocket to the tune of $148.00 a month! It’s been a nightmare. If his dose changes, we have to repeat the process!  His dose changed three times in a month! Thyroid management is a moving target as it is with Celiac Disease greatly compounding the issue. Very frustrating.

      Thanks Scott.  That's why I was hoping for a recommendation of a place known to be safe.  Jenny

      Thank you so much.  It helps just knowing there is a connection and it's not my imagination.    I am seeking help from a nutritionist and will talk to my PC about inflammation marker testing - thank you.  During one flare I went to see an ophthalmologist because my symptoms were so severe.  He didn't draw any connection but just said that my eyes were extremely dry and recommended drops, which I use.  However, when a flare develops, the drops are only marginally effective.   I think I've eliminated one source of contamination.  We had 20 chickens until less than a month ago, when we sold that property.   Although I scrubbed after feeding and taking care of the chickens, the feed is mostly wheat and I'm sure I had to be inhaling wheat 'dust' every day.   I'm feeling like there will be improvement.   Thank you so much for your reply, the help and suggestions.

      Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

      Any chance you are getting traces of gluten in your diet? This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
