Fat is something that most we are usually programmed to avoid. However, fat is in fact great for helping to keep you full up for the simple reason that it takes longer for your body to process than carbohydrates. Fat also provokes the release of a hormone known for helping you feel full: cholecystokinin, or CCP. Yogurt that is fat-free doesn’t provide this benefit, of course. And then there is the fact that if it is non-fat, it’s very often loaded with sweetener or sugar to make up for it. And did you know that flavored yogurts of the non-fat variety very often have more sugar than ice cream of a comparable serving size?
