Yogurt is probably one of the best dairy options besides grass-fed butter, so if it jives with your needs, go for it :)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/145897/what-is-the-deal-with-greek-yogurt/145907#145907 Answer by Soporificat for What is the deal with Greek Yogurt? Soporificat 2012-08-29T01:47:57Z 2012-08-29T01:47:57Z <p>Casein and lactose are fairly common sources of food intolerance, so if you haven't already done a 30 days strict paleo, then I would do that first. Then test out how you feel with adding dairy. If you can tolerate dairy fine, then dairy has a lot to offer nutritionally, and yogurt with its probiotics is particularly nice. </p> <p>There's nothing special about the Greek style, though. It's just yogurt that has been strained so that it is much thicker and has a higher fat and protein content. However, it does taste a whole lot better, in my opinion.</p> <p>If I could tolerate dairy, then I would absolutely eat it, every day! Too bad, so sad for me...:(</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/145897/what-is-the-deal-with-greek-yogurt/145920#145920 Answer by randogirl for What is the deal with Greek Yogurt? randogirl 2012-08-29T03:49:29Z 2012-08-29T03:49:29Z <p>Listen to this Ben Greenfield podcast. He doesn't subscribe completely to the paleo diet because he incorporates diary though.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2012/07/episode-201-what-to-do-about-knee-pain-that-wont-go-away/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/2012/07/episode-201-what-to-do-about-knee-pain-that-wont-go-away/</a></p> <p>He basically says that it should be fine in the morning or anytime post-workout for recovery.</p>
