There have been so many new frozen yogurt stands opening up all throughout Colorado Springs, with a recent one being right by our house on 19th and Uintah. They boast 'low fat' and 'healthier than ice cream' yet how healthy is this marketed dessert?

At the risk of playing 'devil's advocate', here is my take: I admit, frozen yogurt tastes good but I think it is unfortunately a marketing deception on the health conscious consumer. A fat reducing overview can help you establish a clear describe of what you require to focus on to accomplish your fat burning target if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an intermediate or more advance phase of their weightloss plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Yogurt is famous for being healthy because of its' live and active cultures. The Federal Food and Drug Administration requires yogurt to have two types of bacteria: lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus, neither of which are present in the majority of frozen yogurt today.

As for the low fat content, most people top their frozen yogurt with chocolate syrup and candies which then bring it to the same caloric and fat content as ice cream. Even topping it with fruit is very similar to a candied concoction as the fruit syrup is typically laced with sugar (in the form of high fructose corn syrup).

The obesity epidemic in America has been blamed over and over again on our sugar consumption, not our fat consumption. Frozen yogurt contains just as much, if not more, sugar carbohydrates than ice cream (this is a good article for comparisons).

So yes, there is no denying that frozen yogurt tastes good, but to sum up this New York Times article: "Frozen yogurt (plain) is a good tasting dessert with fewer calories than ice cream. It is not a health food. Far from it."

What is a better alternative? If you are really craving ice cream, I highly recommend Glacier Ice Cream and Gelato at University Village. They use all natural ingredients (none of the chemicals you will find in frozen yogurt), and their gelato is made with part skim milk which makes it a leaner choice. They also offer sorbet which is the best choice of all.
