Yoplait Light

Okay, so it's not the fanciest of foods, but yogurt is certainly a popular diet food. And boy oh boy are the yogurt choices before you tremendous. Let me set one thing straight however, I haven't tried every diet yogurt out there, so if there is one better then this, let me know.

But, for my two points, I choose Yoplait Light everyday of the week. It is quite frankly better then any full fat yogurt I've ever had and my both daughters prefer it over their own individual yogurts (baby yogurt and Dora-branded). I've actually been able to eat only one 6oz yogurt for an entire breakfast meal and feel full (with black coffee of course).

My advocacy has its limits and there are certain flavors that should be avoided....namely anything that's supposed to be a traditional baked good that could never be replaced (I'm talking to you 'Cinnamon Roll'). There's a tangy yogurt taste to all flavors so just consider any flavor you undertake as 'Tangy blah blah blah'. For instance, "Tangy Boston Cream Pie' = Not Good; but 'Tangy Key Lime Pie' = Sorry, daughter # 2, none for you.

Despite that, I encourage you to find your own. My personal choices are somewhat boring I guess, but these are the best I've found.... Harvest Peach, Strawberry, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Key Lime Pie. My wife gets blueberry and rasberry everynow and then because she's bored buying the same ones over and over, but they're also pretty good.

So, for a quick two point, pointalicoius breakfast, try Yoplait Light.

What is Pointalicious?

Pointalicious (adj): Any food that is simultaneously Weight Watchers Point friendly and amazingly palate friendly, stomach filling or otherwise incredibly pleasing. (For example, the tease to the right which will be featured soon).

Pointaliciousness can be highly subjective depending on personal food preferences, willingness to sacrifice, willingness to indulge, and potentially a willingness to subject others to your culinary choices. Hopefully, pointalicious foods are loved by both those on and off a diet program. Indeed, pointaliciousness can vary from person to person, day to day; however, generally it consists of a food item, with a Point value that seems to good to be true.

I've lost over 30 pounds on the Weight Watcher's Momentum Program...namely because I've discovered a great deal of pointalcious foods and meals that sustain my desires and hunger pretty easily.

Finding the Point values of food items is generally pretty easy...especially if you've been a member of Weight Watchers for any given amount of time. BUT, for the uninitated every food has a Points value based on a calculation of calories, fat and fiber. Actually, Weight Watchers says it the best.

This blog will explore my pointalicious findings including foods for every mealtime. It will include homemade, store-bought, and restaurants options for virtually any culinary craving.

Stay Tuned...but do not stay hungry.
