Milk and weight loss

Options
Hello,

I like very much milk with coffee or a little bit of chocolate. I drink low fat milk. I did read that milk create inflamation on body and maybe can not help in weight loss because of that.

I would like to know how much milk we can drink per day?
Milk doesn't help weight loss?
Is bad to drink milk before bedtime?

Thank you

    Switch to almond milk. It's low calorie, healthy, and delicious. :) I haven't drank any other milk in such a long time.

    Milk neither helps nor hinders weight loss.
    It doesn't not create inflammation unless you have a medical issue.
    You can drink milk any time and in any quantity.

    Milk actually has excellent macros.

    1 Cup of whole milk has

    146 Calories
    8g of Fat
    11g of Carbs
    8g Protein

    Plus a decent amount of micros.

    Weight loss is dependent on a calorie deficit. If you aren't lactose intolerant and can fit it into your calorie goal, then have your milk.

    I found it revolting. And not particularly better than milk outside of having monounsaturated fats and more calcium.

    1 Cup of Almond milk
    37 Calories
    3g Fat
    1g Carbs
    1g Protein

    I drink a lot of milk. And at least 2/3 of a cup shortly before bed.


    Unless you have an intolerance to it, there's no reason to avoid milk. It won't hinder your weightloss.

    It is definitely a personal preference thing. :) I have a high protein requirement so I have to get it from any source that I can. :tongue:

    I drink a couple gallons a week and it has not hindered my weight loss.... If it fits within your caloric intake and you are in a deficit you will still lose weight...... Best of Luck

    I love milk and enjoy a cup on my weetbix in the morning. Also, if I'm peckish at bedtime, a small glass of milk will fill me up and help me drop off to sleep. Drink and enjoy.
