I eat mostly plain (unsweetened) yogurt. Plain Greek Yogurt has a good nutrition profile but the taste and texture (IMO) are like caulk, so I don’t eat it plain.
But it makes a very good base for raita, tzatziki, and especially shrikhand as most of the whey is drained out and it’s quick to drain out whatever remains and jump start the shrikhand.

You do you, friend, in good health.
I was responding to @Gourmanda’s comment about Greek Yogurt, how I dislike it as-is, but it forms the base for dishes I do love. I rarely eat shrikhand because it is sweet but am a regular with raita.
Greek yogurt has less lactose (a form of sugar) than regular yogurt so it’s preferable for me even though I am not lactose intolerant.

I love it, but I love tzatziki. And if I feel like a light morning snack, I’ll have some 5% Fage with a lil pineapple or blueberries or both - don’t even add honey, although I love Greek yogurt with honey & toasted walnuts for a simple summer dessert

I don’t take people’s dislikes of foods personal. I love eggplant, it’s a favorite vegetable of mine, and I love many many vegetables.
The OP does not, which is perfectly fine for them. Calling another poster ridiculous for a bit of hyperbole is neither “positive” nor in the spirit of this board. A little levity goes a long way.

Do you have any local vendors or farmers markets near you? In season, I rely on those and on my middling garden for produce. I share your concerns about supply chain and food handling, although for me personally, I’m more concerned about meat handling than veg. If you have a good source, it doesn’t require cooking although you can. Wash and chop is enough to get some sustenance.

Chicken pizza credit goes to my niece who had gestational diabetes, VERY carefully managed with her care team so she would not require shots.

“ketogenic diet” vs “diabetes management” diet for a 71 year old runner who needs to retain (not lose) weight will likely be quite different in carb-counts. 50 gm carb = about 3 “carb units” per day (in your case) vs per meal (diabetes management, as conveyed to/by family members).
Maybe, maybe not. Low carb regimes are not just about weight loss. Also, some doctors use a much stricter approach to dietary control in order to avoid medications (my father’s doctor is one such).

Huh? I’ll chalk this up to “at least the poster knew what he/she was talking about”.
