i am just starting on the adam's diet, but have a real sweet tooth and love a non-fat fruit flavoured yoghurt for dessert. is it ok to eat these because of their low GI? or is it more important to have almost no carb?

the yoghurts in question are muller light ones

Depends.

First, have you looked into low carb yogurts. We've got them here in the US. They are pretty good, if you have to have yogurt.

Also, many yogurt proponents claim that the carbs in yogurt are a bit different and don't change blood sugar as much as many other carbs. I can't say that it's true or false. That's just what they say.

That being said, most yogurts, even the "light" ones still contain added sugars. Often HFCS. Why? Most folks in the general population are more concerned with fat content, I guess. And, HFCS is sweet and cheap.

Your best bet is to mix up your own. In the US, we have some specialty yogurts that are made with whole milk, goat milk, and even creams. These are often far lower in carbs and sugars. Start with these, add your own berries, diet "maple" syrup or artificial sweetener and go from there.

Just remember that this isn't fully within the normal boundaries of the low carb diet... But, since part of the goal of the diet is merely to keep your calories low without raising blood sugar often, you may find exceptions that still work for you. If you find that it's not working, you might have to rethink the yogurt or count it as your one-a-day serving of higher GI carbs.

I've heard that some Adam's Dieters drink regular milk, at times. It may work for you, it may not.

Personally, yogurt does ABSOLUTELY nothing to fill me up or satisfy mye I eat it. I need more of it or something else in just a few minutes. It's like I ate nothinig at all. So, I have given it up entirely unless I'm trying to put on weight.

yoghurt has a low GI, I eat it daily w/ no problems although I am not following adams diet persay.

I would get plain organic yoghurt and add your own fruit. For many reasons orangic is preferable to non-organic.
