did you seriously just compare kale to milk???

in no way kale is on the same level as milk.
Milk is delicoius- and flexible. Kale tastes like sour baby *kitten* rotting in the high desert.

Oh Good Lord. Now we've gone from an OP who wants to consume only milk, to no one should drink milk at all because it is only for baby cows.

And if you happen to love milk?
I get raw milk from a local farm. The last time I got a gallon it was as fresh as fresh can be, like RIGHT from the cow. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Also it's some of the best milk out there.

You know what they say, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
However, I kind of think someone spending a lot of time milking a cow happened AFTER the idea that it might taste good/be nutritious.0 -

if it's not real- does that mean it's like plastic fake food- or just invisible...
and honestly- how is no one else concerned that they compared kale to milk?
can you make chocolate kale?
no- no you cannot.
but you can make chocolate milk- and chocolate milk wins the internet.
Because- I said so.0 -

I reserve the right to occasionally assume the nutritional habits of a baby cow if I want to. Fits my macros. Back off!0

You know, I think you're probably right- because as I typed- I figure someone is going to post a recipe for chocolate dipped kale- which I'm sure some where someone thinks is the bees knees.
But I'm specifically equating it to chocolate milk- to a potential drink of chocolate kale. in which case no.
just no.
pika knows- and we all know- if pika agrees-and knows- then it's obviously right.*nod nod*
I approve of that logic.
also- because I said so.0 -

OP, ignore these naysayers. There is a great history of scientists experimenting on themselves. Where would the world be without Jonas Salk's injecting himself (and his entire family) with polio vaccine? Or Benjamin Franklin doing that thing with the key and the kite? Or Albert Hoffman ingesting 25/1000 of a gram of synthesized lysergic acid and hallucinating his entire bike ride home? Who knows, you may be on to something here. Do it. Do it now, before you lose your nerve.0

Can you imagine the guy drinking coffee while milking his cow and saying, "Hey, I think I'll put some of that in my coffee."?"
There's a first for everything. Someone invented the first wheel. Someone ate the first berry off of a bush somewhere and decided it was good. Someone decided to ferment grapes and make wine. Someone figured out how to pickle vegetables or how to make vinegar, weave fibers into fabric so it could be sewn into articles of clothing, make pasta, someone ate the first animal, grew crops, cooked rice, perfectly and accidentally put together the ingredients for cake, etc. Just because it wasn't always done doesn't mean it is a bad thing. And just because it doesn't fall into the category of the most obvious use doesn't mean it can't have another use.0 -
that is rather silly0

Is that where they wear diapers as adults too? If not, there is a fetish for peeing in diapers- no joke.0 -
I will let you know in two weeks if anything has changed, if I became weak or I'm doing fine. I want to see the limits. How can you know yourself if not trying anything lame/stupid/pathetic/silly/uncommon things (not necessary related to diet), or whatever ideas crosses through your mind? though, some of the answers made me laugh. Tests such as this one, are to feed your curiosity, couldn't be more simple than that. Plus, I've always had a diverse diet and quite healthy, is getting bored to stick to something just because some guys with a diploma tells you to do so and I've never complicated myself with what Vitamins should I take and what vegetables will give me that, how many fruits a day should I eat and count the calories. I eat like is not the end of the world and I see food as fuel. Also, I actually poop when I drink milk. I'm surprised someone said that without fibers you can't poop like that would be the only natural way. Anyway, can't wait to come with some poop info in two weeks.0

"Can you imagine the guy drinking coffee while milking his cow and saying, "Hey, I think I'll put some of that in my coffee."?" Milk is for infants and cows milk is for infant cows.
Actually, the practice of humans drinking cows milk (actually, it started off as goats milk and even in some areas camels milk before cows became the more popular) started when mothers would die, leaving behind infants with no available wet nurse. Rather than let the infant die also, people all over the world made the intuituve leap that if a baby drank mothers milk, and a baby animal drank its mothers milk, then maybe they could save the baby human by feeding it the same milk the baby animal drank. And in the vast majority of cases they were right.
Then came the leap that if a baby could grow strong and healthy on animal milk, maybe other humans could drink it too, and it became a source of sustenance first in times of food shortage and then just in the regular course - rather than kill the cow/goat/camel for a finite source of meat, drink the milk for an almost infinite source of sustenance. It's actually quite logical when you think of it.0 -
Has anyone of you drank only milk for a long time without eating anything? not to lose weight or necessary to maintain weight, but as a test?
I've done a test on a short term to see how my body would react and nothing bad happened. I'd like to try this on a longer term now, because I'm taking enough calcium and protein from 2-3 liters of milk everyday. plus, I still have the energy to jump rope when I come home at 5 p.m and I'm awake from 4-5 a.m.
If you want to tell me this is insane, it would be a waste of time, taking in consideration the fact that some of us have stronger bodies. if I will feel different and I must stop, then I will. but i'd like to know if I should expect anything. i don't have lactose intolerance and i always drank milk
Nope. I drink milk occasionally or put it on my cereal but have zero interest in it being my whole diet. It doesn't sound like a fun way to live long term.
I'd love to know more about your plan though. So many questions!
Do you live on or near a dairy farm? Are you drinking just whole cow milk or would you drink goat milk? Are you getting organic milk or anything special? Do you ever plan to shake things up with flavored milks? Are there foods that you will miss eating?
Do you have a time limit to your experiment? Are you diligently recording things like how much you poop or any medical details to see if there are differences from when you aren't doing a milk only diet? Have you talked to a doctor about this milk diet? What do your family/friends/doctor think of your milk only experiment? Do you plan to do anything with what you discover like publish the results or make a documentary?0 -
No, I live in a city and the farm is very very away from where I live. that milk would get me fat. Cow milk only. No goat milk, I haven't seen here in the supermarket. Just 3.5% fat milk, which it still tastes like water compared to the milk straight from the cow. I like my milk without sweetener. probably I will miss some foods, idk. i'm tired of them now. i don't crave much chicken anyway. yeah, two weeks limit. i will drop earlier if i don't feel well. but i'm pretty sure a body can survive on milk so i want to see to convince myself that we are not that weak as so many random websites tend to tell us, i just have to never put the "what ifs" above my curiosities. i don't need medics. the books are free and i can educate myself if i will ever feel like i'm missing something when it comes to my health. doctors are good when i drop dead only. for me. i don't care what people think about my ideas, i care if they did such tests and what they encountered. because, when you have a crazy idea, 95% of the people thinks is a joke or insane. opinions are useless
i don't think anyone really needs to read a document about how some random person on the internet decided to have this test. people should test things by themselves, inform well, but not let those information get in the way of their curiosities.
to poop with naysayers
ps: idk where is the part where this is supposed to be trolling. how can a subject about someone coming with an idea about testing a diet based only on milk, could ignite a fight?

I really think you'd have better results using breast milk.
ETA: I don't know if the udder is technically a breast? I meant human breast milk.0 -
Question though, aside from how you feel, are you going to take any other markers? Visit the doctors for bloods or anything? Because people with massive EDs can still feel fine, or people with huge deficiencies can still feel fine - hell people with cancer, hepatitis, all soprts of diseases can still feel fine... until they don't. How we feel is often not a good indicator as to how we're functioning. So without any objective data, how will you know what your test achieves?0
