What to Watch Out For
The extra toppings on your yogurt may have some hidden carbohydrates and calories in them, so be careful with this as well. Some toppings might cause a spike to your blood sugar level. Opt for the plain yogurt and ignore the toppings. This way, you will be able to control the serving size as well as the added sugar. But if you must add toppings, go for a combination of sliced nuts such as almonds and fresh berries.
Some yogurts may have artificial sweeteners in them. While these sweeteners are originally marketed as a means to help people to curb sweet tooth yet maintain weight, some studies suggest that artificial sweeteners can actually lead to weight gain so you have to be mindful about your use of artificial sweeteners not only on yogurt but on other things.
