I assume you eat the plain yogurt with your berries and not the pre-sweetened. Is that correct?

I allow myself one container of sweetened yogurt (with the fruit on the bottom) every morning at breakfast. I get the all-natural kind (Stonyfield Farms) with no preservatives or additives. Either blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry. They use real sugar. This contains 23g of carbs (after the fiber is factored out).

Because I eat it in the morning and I walk close to 10 miles every day, I have no issue burning it off. I know it is not turning to fat because I have been losing 3-4 pounds a week since April.

I eat blueberries separate from the yogurt. I go through about 3 pints of blueberries a week. I usually have them at lunch or as a snack. I sometimes eat raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, but they are very expensive and I don't have them as often.

I buy the frozen unsweetened whole strawberries and they're not too expensive. I include a few of them and some blueberries in my sugar free jello. The frozen unsweetened raspberries are also reasonable compared to fresh and good in jello. Of course, not as good tasting as fresh, but easy to keep on hand because they don't spoil.
