Yogurt - So Filling! August 2, 2004 8:05 AM Subscribe
A couple of years ago, I remember a news report about yogurt that made you feel full. Did it work, and can you still buy it? posted by wibbler to food & drink (6 comments total)
I missed that report, but did have a conversation with Doug Flack, a natural meats/animal fats advocate up in Vermont, this summer in which he said that some forms of fat (and yogurt, even low-fat yogurt, contains fat) does in fact make one feel full faster.
A quick google of this idea turned up quite a few mentions of yogurt making you feel full. So, I guess it's worth a try.
Doug puts his theory into practice as a business and advocates making pemmican the way the original inhabitatants used to make theirs. He can cite hours of fascinating anecdotal evidence to support his theories. He recently filled a two-hour canoe trip down the Missisquoi River with notes about archeological evidence dug from the banks of the river itself; but that's another story.
Me, I'm headed to the gym for a lunch-time workout and then for a small tub of yogurt for lunch. Thanks for the idea! posted by mmahaffie at 8:42 AM on August 2, 2004
If you're looking for an easy appetite suppressant then drink lots of water.
I can't seem to google a good source for this as the web is full of diet hucksters, but generally 8 glasses of water will do.
When I had to drop weight I found that water does work like an appetite suppressant. Your results may of course vary and you will pee a lot more. posted by skallas at 9:13 AM on August 2, 2004
Well, according to their ads, Yoplait Custard style yogurts do that (scroll down to custard style). I had one a few weeks ago and remember thinking it was indeed remarkably filling. I haven't done any research to see if it's worth it for the extra calories/fat/artificial flavors/whatever, though. posted by widdershins at 9:41 AM on August 2, 2004
Try adding ordinary plain low-fat yogurt to a cup of pea soup. The soup gets thicker and tastes fabulously RICH without being so. Very satisfying without much extra fat. posted by Goofyy at 9:46 AM on August 2, 2004

On the plus side, your weight loss may increase in direct relation to the distance between your desk and the nearest restroom! I also find that when I'm pushing water and having to get up for a pee regularly I'm not as nuts at the end of the workday as I might be otherwise. posted by mmahaffie at 10:25 AM on August 2, 2004
