Yogurt is a great source of protein and dietary calcium. Research shows that people who consume adequate calcium have an easier time with weight loss. Many people don't like the taste of plain unsweetened yogurt and prefer flavored, sweetened varieties. Dannon reformulated their Light 'n Fit Yogurt with Splenda for a great flavor. I tried the raspberry and peach. Both taste great and each has about 60 calories, plus 20% of your daily need for calcium and vitamin D.
Same Texture - Great Taste
The newly reformulated Light 'n Fit yogurts have the same smooth and creamy texture as the original Light 'n Fit nonfat yogurts but fewer calories - just 60 calories per six ounce serving. The new Light 'n Fit yogurts also provide calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones plus vitamin A, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. Each cup is also a good source of protein, about five grams, with only seven grams of sugar.
Also Available in a Yogurt Smoothie
Light 'n Fit is also available in a 70 calorie, seven ounce smoothie. The product can be found in the yogurt aisle of major supermarkets in six great-tasting flavors: Strawberry, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Kiwi, Mixed Berry, Peach Passion and Raspberry.
Dannon's Fitness Plan
In an effort to provide tools to help Americans manage their weight, Dannon has collaborated with Carolyn O'Neil, registered dietitian and author of The Dish on Eating Healthy and Being Fabulous! to develop the Light 'n Fit Right Fit Plan - a balanced way to help lose up to one pound a week. The Light 'n Fit Right Fit Plan is a free online program designed to evaluate the user's BMI (body mass index), help determine a daily caloric intake goal, and provide corresponding meal plans.
