One of the most beautiful things about living in Northern California is the stunning array of fresh produce and artisinal dairy products (not to mention wine) available from area producers. I came upon one this morning: Saint Benoit Yogurt. I had in the Meyer lemon flavor, which I found light, fluffy, subtly sweetened and not especially calorific (187 cals for 7.5 oz). I’m not the only one who thinks it’s great. It’s expensive, though (in part because it comes in a ceramic pot that can be returned for some of your money back), so it’ll certainly be only an occasional treat.
Can I eat this kind of food — unquestionably nutritious, locally produced of fresh ingredients — and still lose weight? We’ll see.
