People with diabetes need to be especially careful about their daily intake of sugars, both added and naturally present. Adding DANNON® Light 'n Fit™ to their meal plan is an easy way to reduce fat and calories without compromising taste or good nutrition.
With a rich taste and a creamy texture, each 90 calorie, 6 oz cup of Light 'n Fit yogurt provides a good source of protein, calcium and vitamin D. Available in 12 delicious flavors, from blueberry pie to white chocolate raspberry, as well as our Light 'n Fit Creamy and Light 'n Fit Smoothie varieties, there is a Light 'n Fit for every taste.
Light 'n Fit Nonfat yogurt is sweetened with a blend of fructose and aspartame, a low-calorie sweetener used in food and beverages in more than 100 (according to the NutraSweet Web site) countries around the world. This unique blend substantially reduces the number of calories in Light 'n Fit without compromising the exceptional quality and taste you expect from DANNON. Light 'n Fit Smoothie is sweetened with Sucralose.
Fructose is a natural carbohydrate found in fruit and honey. Commonly used in yogurt and baked goods for years, fructose enhances the flavor and texture of foods. Your health care provider is your best source of advice about what foods you can eat and how to include them in your meal planning. The American Diabetes Association and The American Dietetic Association can also provide general advice and tips useful for people living with diabetes.
Understanding how to use carbohydrates in meal planning is important to diabetes control. Regardless of how you count carbohydrates, Light 'n Fit can be a tasty part of a healthy diet. Light 'n Fit contains 16-17 grams of carbohydrates for each 6 ounce container. This is the same as 1p carbohydrates choices or 1 skim milk plus p carbohydrate exchange. All it takes is some simple planning to enjoy DANNON Light 'n Fit.
