Why, it actually tastes good

lilfluffOn our last shopping trip I did something unusual. I actually added a new type of food to the cart for myself. As part of my, "Try to eat just a little bit better as well as exercising so you won't keel over dead at 40", health plan I grabbed some low fat vanilla yogurt.
The verdict? Wow! Creamy and a little bit tangy. Now I find myself wondering why I waited so long to try it. (Well duh, because I'm a picky eater, which is just the polite way of saying a royal pain in the nether regions.) Probably from seeing all those ads of women turning down burgers and pizza to go lose weight by having a small serving of fruit flavored yogurt, I always thought of yogurt as "girl food." (Ladies, please put the clubs down. Please? Or at least use the nerf mallets?)
Interestingly a bit of searching on webmd suggests that yogurt has more going for it in the weight-loss department than simply a low calorie count (for small servings of low fat and no sugar added). It seems that some research suggests that the calcium in yogurt may help with certain fat burning processes in the body. Of course the live cultures in yogurt can help with other things, but I'll stop there before anyone starts yelling, "TMI! TMI!"
