Anyone can say that yogurt is more than rich in carbohydrates as well as fat, because of the milk that is present in the mixture. Even though plain yogurt has nonfat milk mixed together with the ingredients for thickening of the texture. Milk also has the presence of the sugar lactose, and there are more concentration of lactose in powdered milk. You know what they say, sugar equals carbohydrates, and yes there are carbohydrates in the yogurt. However the bacteria present, specifically lactobacillus, eats up the lactose in the yogurt thereby rendering this creamy dessert low in carbohydrates. And, yogurt serves as a low carb diet. The microorganism that manufactures the yogurt will gobble up 12 grams of lactose and reduce it to up to 4 grams of carbohydrates. Yogurts are made in a laboratory with the help of different strains of the bacilli bacteria. They help ferment the milk and then they are eliminated with the process of subjecting the product into an ultra high temperature.
