Do not use sweetened or flavored yogurt.

Homemade plain yogurt is best for weight loss. So, when you are preparing the yogurt at home make sure to not to heat the milk at high temperature. As, it will kill the lactic acid bacteria and can cause low or no fermentation. Also, avoid heating the milk in the microwave or oven due to uneven distribution of heat. Stir the milk while boiling and use the right temperature of milk to set the yogurt at home.
-
I have seen people using insulated vessels for fermentation like rice cooker. Do not use the insulation of the rice cooker or any for fermentation, because the temperature of insulation is too high. But if you have to use it then keep the rice cooker powered off. But, if you want to make yogurt in winter, you can easily ferment in the porcelain container.
-
For best fermentation, use porcelain or glass container with lid or cover. However, hard plastic container or cups can also be used but it’s quality won’t be that great. While lid is very important, as lactic acid bacteria need anaerobic environment to start the fermentation.
-
Healthy bacteria found in yogurt are unstable in nature. Therefore, it needs proper arrangement to make yogurt at home. Otherwise occasionally it leads to fermentation failure.
