I just switched to fat free yogurt; I had been eating whole milk yogurt but my LDL measured 116 so cutting back on saturated fat. I don't really care for stevia. I don't use artificial sweeteners either. I use preserves or applesauce with actual sugar in them to flavor my yogurt. I just do pretty good at portion control, eat a light lunch and don't snack much during the day. I find that eating a smaller portion of what I like satisfies me more than a bigger helping of something that is an attempt at what I like with artificial flavors and sweeteners. YMMV, of course. I do eat low sugar oatmeal, but it is less but still actual sugar. Publix maple and brown sugar is 120 calories. Most bananas I eat are closer to 100 calories (I have weighed some for reference).
