Milk question

I like the taste of 1% now but it took me a week or so to get use to it from 2%.

Whole milk. Contrary to popular belief eating fat doesn’t make you fat. The protein, fat and carb ratios in whole milk are a very balanced combination that is very hard to find in other foods. If you are strength training, those extra fats are essential in helping you grow new muscle. As stated, lower fat milks will be higher in sugar and in some people this will have worse effects for fat loss than a higher fat intake. The higher fat content of whole milk will also slow digestion which will keep you full longer.

My general rule of thumb is to identify what the majority of people do or are told and then do the opposite; and in this case, most people that try to lose fat drink skim or low fat milk. While many have had success with this approach, many also have not, I recognize that there are other factors but I find it amusing when the only people in the super market buying the low “_______________” products are the fat ones. While I eat only full fat dairy products, real butter and real sugar, and I am losing fat while gaining muscle. It seems to work for me, but you are best to experiment for yourself.

By elminating any dairy products you'll have an easier time losing weight.

Says who? Many people eat plenty of dairy and lose weight just as easily and healthily.

To the OP, I buy either 1% or 2% milk. HATE skim milk because it's too watery, and whole milk has too many calories for me (something like 150 cals per cup I think), so 1% and 2% are happy mediums.

I think 2% has something like 120 cals per cup and 1% is 100 cals per cup. Personally, I can tell NO difference in taste between 1% and 2%.

I have actually read that getting dairy- milk especially- contributes to weight LOSS!

I have heard that from a few sources.

Its just from personal experience and watching friends and family cut all dairy out of their diets, I've cut out dairy (butter, milk and yogurt) and have lost over 10 lbs (In 3 weeks) since doing so. Just an opinion, you don't have to be so rude about it, I was trying to help.

Many people do still lose weight but some don't.... it was just a healthy suggestion.

I go for Fat Free Lactaid or Almond Milk (the unsweetened sort). Honestly, though, I basically use it to splash in a cuppa tea or coffee, but I rarely drink it otherwise. I think milk tastes nasty and smells worse.

Love skim! Homogenized milk is like cream to me - yuck!

Skim milk is homogenized. Most milk purchased at a store is both pasteurized and homogenized.

Skim milk, additionally, has powdered milk added to it to help turn it white and add mouth-feel. Powdered Milk has oxidized cholesterol in it, which contributes to the damaging (aging and cancer) of cells.
