    Dairy is for baby mammals, if you're not a baby mammal and you drink it, you will get fat

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Fine. It's not essential. But it is beneficial to milk production, and as someone who struggled with it, breast-feeding mothers can use all the help they can get.

    LOL! Yea I'm not worried about it too much. I don't even think I could give up dairyor would even be willing to anyway! You hear all this bad *kitten* about carbs but I've never heard anything about dairy "messing up a person's hormones and making them fat" before. So I just had to ask for opinions about it....

    I agree :) I breastfed both of mine, and ate lots of all kinds of food including dairy :)

    Then, you just need to be patient. Recomposition takes time.

    I don't consume any dairy... the odd splash in a cup of tea maybe twice a week and thats it. I hate cheese and I hate milk on cereal I always use rice or oat milk! The fact I don't consume any dairy has never helped me loose weight though. I always have a bloated belly pouch so something else must be responsible.

    I wouldn't personally believe that dairy is bad for weight loss. I just don't have it because I don't like it but perhaps if I had more I would loose more weight! Who knows! Its all about balance. A little dairy is not going to hurt weight loss but eating it as part of every meal might!

    All food makes you fat. Should probably stop eating anything.

    What????

    Overeating anything will pack on the pounds...

    dairy by itself will not make you fat..eating a ton of it will!

    Cutting something completely out of your diet never works in the long run.. unless you plan to never eat it again ever.
    Those superstars have people that prepare thier food for them, they are fed a specific diet, they dont' think or worry about what theya re eating. They ahve people that take the junk food out of their hands as they are trying to bite it..

    Seriously.. be realistic..

    Actually it's healthier to eat full fat dairy instead of reduced-fat.

    Um, no. You don't need to consume dairy to make dairy. Some babies can't tolerate cow's milk protein in breast milk and the mom has to cut it out of her diet. Doesn't mean the baby is malnourished, as long as milk production is fine. Also, they recommend Vitamin D drops for EBF babies.

    Why are you soliciting opinions? Just find the facts.
