I didn't find it on any of the lists except the carb counter dairy list. I think it could be added in PRE-Maintenance though. Here is what they say about P-M:

"You should be saying “Wow.” And if you’re not, we’ll say it for you. Wow, you’ve made it to Phase 3 and you know what that means – you’ve almost reached your goal. Now it’s time to slow your weight loss and find your ACE, Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium. And we have a great way to do it – more variety. Pair these foods, including some whole grains, with the Acceptable Foods lists from Phase 1 and 2 for your total variety eating plan.

In Pre-Maintenance, you add 10 daily Net Carbs per week – The Power of 10 makes it easy. These foods, in these portion sizes, all equal about 10 grams of Net Carbs – remember, total carbs minus fiber."

(The emphasis is mine)

Since plain full fat yogurt has 10.6 per one cup serving, it would make sense that it would be added at this point, but it doesn't appear that the diet specifically includes yogurt. If you wanted to have just 4 oz (½ cup) for 5.3 grams of carb, then you could probably get away with having it in OWL that way.

Here's a link to the Atkins dairy carb counter page: http://www.atkins.com/Program/FourPh...bCategoryId=34 On here you'll also see that plain yogurt has about the same carb count as regular milk per cup (11.4). Milk isn't on the phase lists, either. Maybe yogurt and milk are meant for Maintenance, where anything goes so long as you don't go over your ACE.

Hope this helps,
Tril
