Am I just different????

Milk is never a good idea because it is made of pure fat. Cow's milk is made to take a little baby calf and turn it into a big fat cow. Not to sound rude, but drinking milk is just asking to add fat. My boyfriend said when he was in the army he drank a lot of chocolate milk because it was one of the few things he liked and he added a lot of fat to his body.

Not true. If it was p[ure fat it would be solid for a start.

Anyway, what do I know, I only drink the stuff three or four times a week . See ticker below (and if you want that in lbs, multiply it by 2.2).

That other lady was wrong about milk being pure fat, but you're wrong about pure fats being solid. Typically saturated fats will be solid at room temperature but unsaturated fats like olive oil are liquid at room temperature.

Nuts are a great way to up your cals, while getting in essential healthy fats. Almonds are my favorite, especially the cocoa roasted and cinnamon roasted ones. Yum!

No. The hottest chicks on my FL all drink milk. Calorie surplus puts fat on your body.

I have a similar issue, I find that when I work out hard, my body gets really stressed and my appetite disappears. I do, however, experience the symptoms of not eating enough: headaches, lethargy, sluggishness...

I've tried to manage this by being diligent about eating small meals more frequently, and making sure that I eat even when I'm not hungry because I know my body needs it.

Another thing to consider is that its not necessarily the food that you eat day-by-day, but your overall eating habits that are going to enact a change. If you don't eat enough one day, try eating more the next. It'll all even out in the end over a week, and over the months (and a lifetime, I guess!)

I posted something similar to this today, and was reminded to eat more calorie-dense foods. I already try to cook with coconut oil, olive oil and eat fatty fishes like Salmon more often. But also adding avocado and eggs to dishes, drinking a glass of milk are simple ways to add healthy calories and fats into your diet when you need it.

Good luck!

Why would anyone ever want to ingest something that was created to be ingested by cows, not humans. Hello. Fall for cheap marketing ploys if you will.

I also never said everyone who drinks milk is fat. Obviously.

Because Ice-cream and lattes, obviously.

Drink less water so you can consume the calories back. Add almonds to your diet, or chia seeds to just about ANYTHING....I was doing the same thing, cut back my water, added more calories and what do you know? I started losing again, and NOT muscles! But remember to consume GOOD calories back, not just crap to add up!
