Eat natural foods, that you have to prepare yourself. Just read the labels and you will see why.

Stick with the lowfat yogurt but read the labels. I'm sure other's on here will give some opinions as well. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!

Alot of the pre fab ones are high carb, low protien, not to mention all the preservatives. (They are usually low fat but when you look at the fat ratios its all saturated)

Stick with stuff like splenda or sucrlose. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt! Ivan Montreal Canada
