That's why I don't eat meat. Tyrannosaurus Rex fed meat to their babies and those suckers grew up to be 7.5 tons. I cut all meat out of my diet and I haven't had the urge to scavenge on the carcass of a hadrosaurus since then! Do some research on the effects of meat in your diet!0 -
I definitely prefer drinking milk to, say, baking milk or frying milk.0

why?
I am guessing you are cutting right now?
if you have a 500 calorie deficit with milk or without milk your results should be exactly the same….0 -

I drink milk occasionally, and have small pieces of cheese as a snack. I've swapped out for almond or coconut before and gone dairy free, but I've never found it made any difference for me.
So long as you don't have problems with lactose, and you figure it into your calories, there's nothing wrong with it. I always drink at least 1%, and sometimes 2%. Skim is like milky water to me.0 -

Why? All you have to do is make sure that meat fits into your calories and macros? Do you really think dinosaurs believed in clean eating!?!11!?one!0 -

It taste like water and its over priced
It's also horrific for the environment, especially in California. I stopped drinking almond milk.

Oh dear lawd, not these old arguments again.
It does not cause inflammation in my body.
I drink milk and am not 300lb...your argument is invalid
Your argument is also incorrect re animals in the wild.
So yes, please educate yourself.0 -
I pretty much stopped drinking milk (and I drank skim because I prefer the taste) not because it's bad or because I feel better, but simply because I'd rather eat my calories. Pretty much anything I drink is very low calorie. I know skim milk isn't that high in calories, and it's very nutritious, but like I said I'd rather eat my calories. Just personal preference.
I eat quite a lot of plain Greek yogurt. So I'm not against dairy or milk. After all yogurt is made out of milk. I've even made my own yogurt it's really easy and delicious. I eat cereal with yogurt instead of milk. It just feels more satisfying to me somehow. I like to use plain yogurt because it is so versatile and I like to control how much sweetener I add. I use splenda or honey or agave to sweeten it when I want it sweetened. I find flavored yogurt too sweet now and even when I want the flavor, I add some plain to it to cut the sweetness.
One of the biggest problems I had with not having milk in the house is when I needed it for cooking. Then I realized I could cut some plain yogurt with a little water and it's nearly the same thing. Most recipes that call for milk taste fine with watered down yogurt, some taste better. I occasionally do buy milk for some cooking, but I use yogurt for most things.0 -
I drink (cows) milk whether I am cutting, maintaining or bulking.
Just fit it into your day.0 -

I know many people who have stopped eating dairy and said they felt better. When you think about it, when you drink milk you're getting all the natural hormones from the mamma cow that was intended for the calf. Should people be drinking that? I'm sure there are other ways to get calcium. Any thoughts?
What do you mean by 'older' and why?
What is wrong with ingesting these natural hormones?0 -

Are you tracking macros or just cutting out milk from you regular eating?0 -

I wonder...why do people refer to animals in the wild only when it comes to your wants ???!!civilhokie wrote: »I never drink milk because it causes inflammation in the body.
