Can I Eat Yogurt On Keto Diet? – Dr. Berg

Is yogurt keto-friendly? Watch this video to find out...

In this video, Dr. Berg answers the question if is it okay to do yogurt on a ketogenic diet. The problem with most yogurt is the sugar content is way too high. Be careful with dairy in general especially if it’s not organic and non-grass-fed because there are a lot of hormones. He also talks about the 24-hour yogurt process under low heat.

Yogurt Benefits:
• Calcium
• B Vitamins
• Protein
• Fat

Kimchi and Sauerkraut – For those who are sensitive to dairy but need to get probiotics.

You missed the part where you say, "Or, you could make your own yogurt."

I love my MOM she used to make yogurt at home almost in 12 hours I mean overnight may her soul Rest in peace Ameen

In the UK I can buy Greek Yogurt that is Bio Live, GM and gluten free and with no added sugar. The one I eat has 4.9g of sugar per 100g and I usually get 5 portions from a 400g pot. So that works really well for me in staying under 20g of total carbs per day.

Hi. The Indian way of making yogurt is to warm the milk at night, add culture which is usually yogurt saved from the previous day and let it stand overnight. The yogurt is usually consumed the next day in a variety of ways. This has been the practice for 100s of years.
We blend yogurt with water and salt (other add ons are personal preference) and use it as a buttermilk drink on a warm day. I always thought it would be the perfect drink for keto flu
Of course in colder climates one has to resort to some ingenuity and I have found a slow cooker works great.

I started making my own yogurt in my instant pot. I have been using Horizon Organic half-and-half as it is a good deal at Costco. When getting it to 180 degrees to alter the composition of the half-and-half for creamier yogurt I make sure the last half I am checking and stirring to prevent "burning on the bottom. It isn't really burnt but can leave solid pieces in the yogurt. I then wait for it to drop below 110 degrees to mix in my starter. I run it twice for 12 hours each cycle (12 hours is the max on the yogurt setting) then cool in the fridge for 8 hours. I also bought a Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt strainer, I then strain it for 8 or more hours and end up with over 2 cups of whey.

I end up with some of the creamiest yogurt I have ever had, definitely tangy due to the 24 hour ferment. I also assume that the 24 hour ferment reduces to almost no natural sugar because the bacteria consume most of it.

When I eat it, half the time I will add a tablespoon of peanut butter and some stevia, it is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I also make frozen yogurt bark for a treat on a hot day!

[WillieStubbs]

I like adding a squirt of liquid stevia to my yogurt, cinnamon (cause it's so good for you), Himalayan salt (because it's good for you), a splash of vanilla... then fold in nuts and coconut. I've never considered making my own yogurt since it seems like you have to have a chemist degree or something, but maybe I'll go get some raw milk and give it a try.

Hello, Dr. Berg:
I love your videos, & I REALLY appreciate the info, since I have NA fatty liver w/ hormone imbalance, COPD w/ asthma, & of course thyroid issue. I started on wheat belly & strict keto 10/2015, but weight loss was very slow, so your info has really helped. At highest weight I was 280 lb, caloric restriction lost ~17, & using your guidance now weigh ~207-209; I'm getting there, & others are trying keto. I always recommend your videos, partly because the nutritional info is some of the best around.
Thank you, again, & please keep up the good, GREAT! work; You are genuinely appreciated.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

I buy milk from the farm and make my yoghurt myself. I eat 1 cup every day.

[yasinabdulwali]

I make my own yoghurt with half and half on a 48h process using the light bulb of my oven as a source of heat and keeping the jars (which actually are from the original yogurts I use to create more yoghurt) wrapped on a piece of cloth. I use a plain full fat yoghurt called “Oui” that sells at Walmart. One yoghurt makes one quart of half and half. I first heat the half and half up to 120F on a pot with a thermometer inside, then mix the yoghurt. Put on jars, wrap in a piece of cloth and place them in the oven, with the light on, for 48 hours. It tastes amazing!

[thedisconnectedwife]

Dr. Berg could you please do a video on your thoughts about the theory of bacteria eating the sugar, so by the time it gets to you actually eating it, the carbs are much less than what is stated on the container.

I make coconut yogurt using canned coconut milk and probiotic capsules in my cupboard. The longer you leave it the more sour it gets. I usually take it out and put it in the fridge after 48 hours. Before eating just add whatever you like, coconut flakes, dark chocolate, berries, etc. Yummy!!

[katalew]

I drink one cup of raw (A-2) milk each day. It has 12 grams of carb. My osteoporosis has improved AND I have dropped 30 pounds doing Keto. It makes great tasting yogurt.

Dear Dr Berg,
Does ketosis increase sweating? I have started intermittent fasting and trying to do a keto diet. I have noticed that I am sweating a lot more.
I am 63 years old and have had hot flushes but this sweating is different.
Appreciate if you could do a video on this. You have helped me a lot with different issues such as gallbladder and leaky gut.
Thanks
Mrs Sidan Ghazi

I make my own kefir, double ferment and drink it plain but add chia seeds. Same with my yogurt.

[MonsoonRain]

The full fat Organic Greek yoghurt (UK Brand) I use has 4 grams of sugar per 100 grams that’s about 7 tablespoons of yoghurt. I usually have less than that in a day so I’m happy with it. It comes out of my 20-30gram daily carb allowance 😊

[canalroadadventures]

Whey in yogurt is insulinogenic. I ferment full-fat milk for 24 hrs using an Instant Pot, strain overnight, then use a home-made press to press out the remaining whey. I then mix distilled water with the dried yogurt in a blender.

[renukamv]

In indian we make curd (almost like yogurt).. raw grass fed milk at low temp for 6 hrs .. we make this every day.. always plain without any added sugar or flavour.. our meals end with this

[nerakonaip]

I started having homemade yogurt for breakfast, and nocturnal leg cramps that I have had for several months stopped. My doctor said it might be due to the calcium.

[johnpaulsmajda]

Dr Berg. I make a Raw Milk Kefir and then I strain the whey making a “kefir cheese”. My questions are:
1. am I straining the lactose out? (which is what I thought I was doing) Making it lower sugar.
2. Am I straining to much whey protein out and leaving behind to much casein ?

[alejandrogutierrez]

Hi Dr. thank you so much for introducing keto to me!
