Is yogurt a match made in heaven for weight loss surgery patients?

On the surface, yogurts appear to be the perfect food for weight loss surgery patients.

• The texture is amazing
• The volume per serving is just right
• They taste great
• Perhaps, most importantly they are “healthy” for you. Right? .

Look again – store bought yogurts may be the unhealthiest of all health foods

Unfortunately, the romance with store bought yogurt quickly comes to an end when you read the food label.

You will see ingredients such as…

• Aspartame
• Carmine (For Color)
• Carrageenan
• Cultured Grade A Low Fat Milk
• Fructose
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Natural and Artificial Flavors
• Sucralose

All ingredients weight loss surgery patients need to avoid as they have been proven to…

• Disrupt gut health
• Cause allergic reactions
• Suppress your immune system
• Cause premature weight loss stalls
• Create the environment for inflammatory reactions

To safely purchase store bought yogurt.

• You literally have to read the entire ingredient panel of every single flavor.
• And, you have had to acquire considerable understanding of each ingredient.

Talk about a serious waste of time!

INGREDIENTS

Simple and Delicious Coconut-Milk Yogurt

2 cans full-fat unsweetened coconut milk

2 GastricHealth WLS Formulated Probiotic Capsules

DIRECTIONS

BLEND AND ENJOY!

Empty both cans coconut milk into a blender.  Pull-apart and empty 2 capsules of the GastricHealth WLS Formulated Probiotics into the blender.

Transfer to a 1-quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.  Store somewhere warm in your house(I chose my laundry room).  After 24-48 hours it should smell like yogurt.

If it is still to runny let it continue until 72 hours has been reached and it should be thick and tangy.  Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just add your favorite mix-ins: berries, nuts, raw honey, chia or flax seeds
