Dairy, is REALLY bad for you. Dairy is extremely high in fats and sugars, AND the "calcium" and "vitamin D" that are found in dairy are ADDED in there. Dairy is not a natural source of Vitamin D or Calcium.
Umm really? Then how the ****ens do mammals develop and grow when the only thing they ingest is dairy? OK so the sun helps us to make vitamin D but all the building blocks need to come from somewhere. Milk contains all the protein, carbs, fat, calcium and other micronutrients necessary to grow and is therefore a complete food. Same goes for eggs.
Lol that the great novelist Charles ****ens has been auto-sensored.0 -
I eat what I want..down 20 lbs from Thanksgiving to Christmas..I eat junk every day.I just make sure to stay under my sodium and calories.I eat up to 1500 cal a day and I just started walking 3 days ago...did not do any exercise before that...I plan on cleaning up my diet a little at a time....seems to be working for me.The ONLY thing that's banned is alcohol because I cant just have a little....0

Dairy is Awesome, especially cheese. I make sure I get my protein and fiber and stay under 50% carbs then I can eat whatever I feel like to get to my net.0 -
This person knows what's up.yep
i try to hit my protein macro, and let the rest fall into place.
There were some weird weight loss stories though about a guy eating twinkies the whole time + multivitamins + protein shakes... another gent just took vitamins and drank water and ate 0 food. All sorts of craziness, but I'd say most of us aren't in those categories where we're we don't get the luxury of trying weird food diets and just sit around all day without some sort of activity.0 -
You would be correct. Humans need a diverse food palate to live, whereas most animals can live off 1 or 2 things just fine. There is one food source we can consume for every meal for the rest of our lives and be fine. The answer is breast milk.Dairy, is REALLY bad for you. Dairy is extremely high in fats and sugars, AND the "calcium" and "vitamin D" that are found in dairy are ADDED in there. Dairy is not a natural source of Vitamin D or Calcium.

Eating what I want in moderation is the key to my success.
Nearly 60lbs lost and I've kept it off for over 2 years.0 -
Hmmm I'm mixed about it...
Yes, you will get results that way (I've always had results doing that). But because you're not changing your eating habits overall, it doesn't work in the long run.
More than that... and I'm going to harp a little here and possibly step on some toes, but I'm just saying... Dairy, is REALLY bad for you.

If you want to see really awesome improvements, drop the dairy. Your weight will decrease, and your digestion and immune system will improve.
I recommend giving it a try.
If you have to have ice cream or milk shakes or smoothies, try homemaking it and substituting milk for almond milk. much healthier and homemade tastes soooo much better!!!
lolz. FF milk has no fat and there is nothing wrong with fats in dairy anyway. There is protein and a bunch of nutrients in milk. The carbs are not that high and there is nothing wrong with them as long as they fit into your macros.
Almond milk has no protein so no, it is not better, at least for me.
I have about 4 cups of milk, a serving of ice cream , cheese and/or yogurt ever single day - it has not done me or my weight loss any harm
According to Dr. Willett, who has done many studies and reviewed the research on this topic, there are many reasons to pass up milk and other dairy products, including:
1. Milk doesn't reduce fractures. Contrary to popular belief, eating dairy products has never been shown to reduce fracture risk. In fact, according to the Nurses' Health Study dairy may increase risk of fractures by 50 percent!
2. Less dairy, better bones. Countries with lowest rates of dairy and calcium consumption (like those in Africa and Asia) have the lowest rates of osteoporosis.
3. Calcium isn't as bone-protective as we thought. Studies of calcium supplementation have shown no benefit in reducing fracture risk. Vitamin D appears to be much more important than calcium in preventing fractures.
4. Calcium may raise cancer risk. Research shows that higher intakes of both calcium and dairy products may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer by 30 to 50 percent. Plus, dairy consumption increases the body's level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) -- a known cancer promoter.
5. Calcium has benefits that dairy doesn't. Calcium supplements, but not dairy products, may reduce the risk of colon cancer.(iv)
6. Not everyone can stomach dairy.(v) About 75 percent of the world's population is genetically unable to properly digest milk and other dairy products -- a problem called lactose intolerance.
We, as humans, are the only species that drink another animals milk. doesnt that seem weird to you? the only time you need milk is when you are an infant, and the only milk you need is breast milk.0 -

How did this turn into a "milk is evil" thread?
because someone mentioned that milk was bad for you and people piped in without doing research first. just because milk has been considered good for you in the past doesnt mean that it is. time goes on, studies become more advanced, and we find out differently.0 -
It is working for me but in combination with doing my research on my TDEE and eating to a deficit.Hey, I was wondering does anyone here just eating whatever they want as long as it's under their calorie limit for the day? If so, have you seen good results? I don't mean eating like cheeseburgers and fries everyday, I mean eating healthy stuff for meals and then having some ice cream for snack everyday as long as its under your daily calorie goal?
If your over your protein,fat, or sugar by less than 20 is that ok? Will you still lose weigt?
I try and cook most days from scratch and changed the order in which I ate things - more protein at breakfast, a soup at lunch and then a prepared meal cycling round meat, fish, veggie to give a bit of variation.
I eat white rice, white bread, noodles and pasta, but I have looked more at portion control, and I am much more aware of the amounts of calories in what I want to snack on.
I can broadly pre-log to around 1100 cals in the morning and know that I have room in there for snacks (things like crisp breads, fruit, nuts, cheese, ham etc) ...
Seems to be working gradually for me.0 -

"Dairy consumption may increase prostate cancer risk through a calcium-related pathway. Calcium and low-fat milk have been promoted to reduce risk of osteoporosis and colon cancer.

"Milk intake was unrelated to rectal cancer risk. High calcium intake had a greater protective effect against tumors of the distal colon and rectal cancer vs. proximal colon. The risk reduction associated with calcium was similar for dietary and supplemental sources. Vitamin D was associated with a nonsignificant 6% reduction in CRC risk. Higher consumption of milk/dairy products reduces the risk of colon cancer, and high calcium intake reduces the risk of CRC. Low vitamin D intake in the study populations may limit the ability to detect a protective effect if one exists."

I am still not seeing the source for the increased fracture risk claim - in fact one study you cited shows it to decrease the risk of osteoporosis . Also, I am seeing that dairy does reduce the risk of colon cancer - "Higher consumption of milk/dairy products reduces the risk of colon cancer'.
So, in summary, I am not seeing anything as 'bad' as long as you are not a lactose intolerance adult other than possibly an increased risk of prostate cancer (but I need to look at the actual study more as it was only indicative of a possible risk).

thanks for all the great replies! If I go over my fat, and sugar daily (not by a lot thought) over will I still lose? can you guys look at my diary and see if what I'm eating will help me lose weight or not? Thank you soo much this is all very helpful.
Hi sweetie..
I have been in and had a read of your diary (and ignored the dairy debate LOL).
Are you Indian by any chance? I see a lot of roti and curries (yum):laugh:
I can see that (apart from the days you mentioned) you do try to eat your calories although you did have a couple of days under 1200 (naughty naughty :bigsmile: )
You really can eat your normal diet and still lose weight. One thing I would look at though is trying to add a little more vegetables than just what goes into your curries or roti. Vegetables may help you meet your nutritional needs a little better. Maybe do a raita with your curry but load it with cucumber..or a corn, peas and bean side dish. Or some chopped tomatoes, snow peas, green onions on the side... It may help you to cut down the snacking on brownies (:laugh: ok maybe a little bit) but your skin and hair will love you lots if you bring some more fruit and veg in.
Good luck with it all. x0 -
bump for later0

i generally keep it pretty healthy, but as long as your not eating only ice cream all day, i think you'll do just fine. its worked for me0
-
If you eat junk food your body will feel like it's starving because of the lack of vitamins, enzymes, phytonutrients, omega 3's, mono-unsaturated fat etc... Be careful if you do that because chances are you will end uo binging and you might even get acne and other stuff you don't want.0
-
As long as you have a calorie deficit, you will lose weight... Even if that deficit comes from totally non-nutritious sources. This does not mean that you will be healthy by doing so.. It merely means you will lose weight. That being said, a healthy weight loss comes from healthy eating. As long as your macros are in check, there is no problem with having a few snacks along the way. Ice Cream is not evil. An "ice crem" diet is problematic if it is all you eat. So is Cabbage Soup diet.. (and substantially less tasty)... In short, weight loss is not dependent upon healthy eating but healthy eating is critical for a fit and healthy lifestyly. Best wishes on your journey.. And enjoy a small bowl of ice cream on occasion, it makes life worth living and the journey a bit more tolerable. Best wishes on your journey.0

Yes you can....but please tell me what cancer risk I am going to get from drinking milk? Milk does not increase my risk plus it is a good source of protein plus I like the taste and I am not lactose intolerant.0 -
I do this all the time!ive pretty much donr same for christmas however the quality of my diet has deteriorated although Im under my calorie goals and Im not happy with that,I feel good food is as important to health as being under your goal!0

drinking milk DOES increase your risk of getting cancer actually, specifically prostate and ovarian cancer. Casein, which is a protien found in cows milk, has been found to cause cancer. Casein makes up about 87% of cows milk and has also been linked to autism. According to T. Colin Campbell, PhD, world-renowned Cornell University Nutritionist, "casein is the most relevant carcinogen that humans ingest"0 -
yeah milk is a source of protein, but not a GOOD source0

"The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., which promotes a vegan diet, preventive medicine, alternatives to animal research, and encourages what it describes as "higher standards of ethics and effectiveness in research."[1] Its primary activities include outreach and education about nutrition and compassionate choices to healthcare professionals and the public; ending the use of animals in medical school curricula; and advocating for legislative changes on the local and national levels."
Not really surprising they are selective in their studies!
Again, please quote the source of these recent claims, especially considering your others have not been supported (with the possible exception of prostate cancer as I have already noted).
Here is a less biased view:
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-help/about-cancer/cancer-questions/does-milk-cause-cancer
"Researchers and doctors all agree that diet and cancer are closely linked. And eating a well balanced diet can help to reduce the risk of cancer. What is more difficult to say is exactly which foods are most important in causing or reducing cancer risk. Studies investigating a link between cancer and dairy products have not given clear results. Some research shows an increase in the risk of developing cancer, and some shows a decrease."0 -
yeah milk is a source of protein, but not a GOOD source
Yes it is to me and to many others.0 -
^^^^^^I've cut out in the past year and a half: red meat, ALL dairy, and kicked my soda habit.
I'm glad what you're doing is working for you, but eating isn't a habit as much as both a necessity and a pleasure. and if I've got to eat, I might as well enjoy the things I'm eating. and if I took out all these things ... well, I don't have to even think about it, I guess, because it ain't gonna happen.
...been reading my mail...lol0 -
I eat the same meals I cook for the family but I weigh mine on digital scales. I still have the occassional chocolate bar, cookie etc & have lost 14kg since joining in September 2012.
Any body feel free to add me, my diary is open. The more friends means more support.
