    I eat dairy but stay in my calorie goal and do notice I can't get rid of my lower stomach or hips so I thought maybe it was worth a try to see if maybe it bloats me. I have never heard before that is messes with your hormones and makes u fat so I was wondering why Megan Fox would say that.
    I also have bad pms symptoms so I guess hearing that made me paranoid. I love low fat shredded cheese and parmesan on a lot of my food but I include it in my over all calories. Just curious...

    Dairy is for baby mammals, if you're not a baby mammal and you drink it, you will get fat
    no

    He's being facetious.

    I would like to understand the science behind it. Sounds bunkum.

    chocolate milk = excellent long run recovery fuel.

    Protein, Calcium and carbs? bring on the dairy!

    Some dairies give their cows RBST (not many). It could have an impact on your hormones, but milk is usually locally distributed. Ask the store which dairy they get their milk from and research them.

    Coincidentally, about the stomach and hips problem. Lifting will help with that.

    except that populations that have practiced dairy farming or herding of milk producing animals have evolved the ability to digest lactose as adults

    if you're not lactose intolerant, then dairy products won't do you any harm and are a good source of nutrients. if it was that harmful, then dairy farming/herding populations wouldn't have survived.

    too much of any food makes you fat; eating more than you burn off makes you fat

    Yeah. Megan Fox. When I want expert advice on weight loss, that's who I think of first. :huh:

    Sorry to be rude, but consider your source. Get hormone free or organic dairy if you're worried about it.

    A study of clinical trials published by the International Journal of Obesity last year found that people who consumed the most dairy while on a calorie-restricted diet lost more weight than those who consumed less.

    Men's Health write-up here:
    http://news.menshealth.com/dairy-weight-los/2012/12/11/

    Abstract here:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22249225

    "Increased dairy consumption without energy restriction might not lead to a significant change in weight or body composition; whereas inclusion of dairy products in energy-restricted weight loss diets significantly affects weight, body fat mass, lean mass and WC compared with that in the usual weight loss diets."

    It depends on your body's tolerance to dairy.
    Personally I limit my intake but I don't cut it out completely. Maybe try cutting down and see if it makes a difference?

    She's an idiot!


    If she isn't drinking or eating any dairy, I sure hope she isn't breast-feeding that kid. He might be malnourished!
    (Was it a boy or girl? I have no idea.)

    dairy is not an essential food group, and women can successfully produce enough milk for their babies without consuming dairy products. If not then how did the human race survive before the domestication of milk producing animals?

    that said, nothing wrong with eating dairy if you can digest it and it's good for breastfeeding mothers, but it's not essential.
