Yogurt is a special food low carb-wise

Yogurt desserts

Yogurt is a special food low carb-wise. Though you might find that it contains as many carb grams as whole milk does, this is simply impossible. The matter is, the friendly bacteria eat up most of the carb in the process of making the yogurt - the biological fact somehow ignored by those responsible for the nutrition labels on the foods. Since we disregard carb content in the yogurt, we don't indicate these recipes Fat Burning Indexes (tm)
