full cream vs skim?

BeautyFromPain

we don't have any money for skim milk until pay day... will drinking full cream make any difference in weight loss/health if it is worked into my daily allowance, just for the next few days?

If you stay within your goals it will not make a difference.

Other than being higher in calories, mostly from fat, whole milk and skim are pretty much the same. As long as it fits in your calories you should be just fine. I personally only drink whole, but I don't drink much.

if I'm using cream for something it's the 33% cream, none of this pansy skim (no fat and no taste!) As long as it fits in your macros.... I'll take real cream any time, I recently had some "real" cream made into whip cream and got to compare it to the edible oil products like dream whip.... suffice it to say that "fake" product will never be bought again by me!

unless your body responds differently to certain macro arrangements for some reason, maintaining a caloric deficit will continue to cause you to lose weight.

I would only add that for regular milk, it only differs in calorie and fat.

In Organic milk, there are essential fatty acids(CLA's,Omega-3) that do no show up in any quantity unless the cow is grass fed. These help in burning fat. Think of it like using gas to clean an oil spill. Both are oils but the gas will break down the motor oil. Soap is essentially oil too.

In the same fashion, the fats in grass fed organic milk actually aids in the fat burning process.

what everyone else said! As long as you keep it in your daily allowance, you will be fine!

As others said it's fine, but if you really felt like it you could actually dilute it with water. There is a formula like a tablespoon of cream for a cup of water to make the 1% or 2% milk. I don't know if that's actually the formula, but it's something like that. You could easily google and find out.

I've had this dilemma recently and decided that drinking whole milk (and watering it down if necessary) was the way to go. Skim milk has considerably more sugar in it. That's not a good choice for me when I'm trying to cut down my sugar intake!
