People are going crazy over Greek yogurt. It’s so delicious, filled with protein and only has a few grams of carbs. Sounds like a perfect food to help lose weight, right? Unfortunately not, at least not when it comes to the non-fat kind. In fact, one small study found that participants who ate non-fat Greek yogurt as their primary source of protein gained more weight than people who did the same thing with conventional fat-filled versions of this fermented dairy product. In this article you will find out exactly why full-fat Greek yogurt helps you lose weight and how exactly you should go about consuming it in order to get all its amazing health benefits while keeping your waistline slim.
Full-fat Greek yogurt helps you lose weight thanks to its satiating properties.
Full-fat Greek yogurt is high in protein and calcium, minerals that help you to stay full for longer. What this means is that if you’re like most people who snack during the day, you would be less likely to overeat later as your blood sugar would stay more stable thanks to the yogurt’s ability to regulate blood sugar thanks to the protein that it contains. One study found that people who ate a high-protein breakfast were less likely to overeat later in the day than people who had a lower-protein diet. This is because protein is metabolized by the body at a slower rate than other macronutrients such as fat and carbohydrates. Because protein takes longer to digest, it helps you to feel fuller for longer, making you less likely to overdo it at lunchtime or in the evening thanks to its satiating properties.
Full-fat Greek yogurt makes you feel more full and keeps you from overeating.
Full-fat Greek yogurt also makes you feel more full thanks to its high satiety rating, which is the term used to describe how quickly a food makes you feel full. The higher the rating, the faster you will feel full after eating a food. The average satiety rating for protein-rich foods is 7, whereas carb-heavy foods such as bagels score a 3. This means that protein-rich foods such as Greek yogurt are better at making you feel full than other food types. This means that when you eat non-fat Greek yogurt, you will likely feel as if you haven’t eaten anything at all as it takes longer for your stomach to digest the yogurt than it does for you to eat something like a bagel. This will lead you to feeling hungry sooner than you would if you were to eat full-fat Greek yogurt, which is why you would likely end up overeating later in the day if you chose non-fat over full-fat.
Full-fat Greek yogurt is packed with protein and nutrients that help you lose weight.
Full-fat Greek yogurt is also packed with nutrients that help you to lose weight and keep it off for good. The high protein content and low sugar content in full-fat Greek yogurt make it a great snack for those who are trying to lose weight. Protein is a macronutrient that helps you to feel full and curb hunger thanks to the satiety rating we talked about earlier, which is why it’s so important to choose full-fat Greek yogurt over its non-fat counterpart. The low sugar content in full-fat Greek yogurt means that you won’t be adding to your daily calorie intake as it doesn’t contain any added sugars. This makes it an excellent choice for those who are trying to lose weight or are diabetic as the yogurt won’t negatively affect your blood sugar levels.
A word of warning! Don’t buy non-fat Greek yogurt for losing weight.
While non-fat Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, nutrients and calcium thanks to the fermentation process it undergoes to turn milk into yogurt, it also contains more water, which is why it has less calories than full-fat Greek yogurt. But the problem with non-fat Greek yogurt is that it has less protein than its full-fat counterpart. This means that if you eat non-fat Greek yogurt in place of full-fat Greek yogurt, you will likely end up eating more calories throughout the day as the yogurt will probably fill you up less than the full-fat variety would. The majority of people who tried a diet based around non-fat Greek yogurt lost less weight than those who opted to eat full-fat Greek yogurt. This is because non-fat Greek yogurt is a lower-calorie food than its full-fat counterpart.
Conclusion
Full-fat Greek yogurt is a much better option than non-fat Greek yogurt if you’re trying to lose weight. It is packed with protein and nutrients that help you to stay full and curb hunger thanks to its satiating properties. It also has a lower sugar content than its non-fat counterpart, making it a better choice for diabetics and those who are trying to lose weight. If you’re trying to lose weight, make sure to choose full-fat Greek yogurt over non-fat. It has more protein and nutrients that help you to feel full longer and keeps you from overeating thanks to its satiating properties.
