There seems to be some confusion about frozen yogurt and ice cream.
In my program, low-fat frozen yogurt is generally a green light food. But Ben & Jerry’s low fat yogurt is a yellow light food. Why? Because Ben & Jerry’s yogurt is a ‘premium’ frozen yogurt, which means that it has a lot more calories than your basic low-fat frozen yogurt. The same is true for ice cream. Premium ice creams, like Haagen Dazs, contain many more calories than regular ice cream.
Many people aren’t aware of the large difference in calories between regular frozen yogurt (or ice cream) and premium brands. So be aware when you are indulging. You may be getting more than you bargained for!
