Hello,

People can drink milk after doing exercise? And after exercise? Milk and body, before or/and after exercise, do some inflamation in the tissues?

i'm in a weight loss journey, i have a big belly, a light hypotiroidism.


I would like to read what you think.

Thank you.

    Milk does not inflame the tissues. Drinking milk beforehand is find, providing that it doesn't give you any gastrointestinal distress.

    Drinking milk after is actually a pretty decent post-workout snack. Especially if it is chocolate milk.

    Oh ok. Thank you .

    A friend did tell me that i can't drink milk after workout because of some lactic substance that body produce after workout and with milk thats wasn't good.

    I was thinking drink milk with coffe before exercise, and after exercise maybe i will start to eat protein whey pancake or some sandwich with cheese or with chicken ham.

    They are confusing lactic acid and lactose. There is no evidence to support any harm done by consuming dairy before, during, or after a workout.

    So have your coffee, pancakes, and sandwiches. :)

    agree.
    chocolate milk is an excellent post workout snack. It has the perfect ratio of carbs and proteins.

    Yeah, MFP goals are strangely out of whack. You need a lot more protein than 25-40g per day. I'd say at least 120g.

    I've heard strange stuff about milk consumption but I wouldn't put any stock in it. Unless you have lactose intolerance, drinking milk should be fine. When I'm short on protein, I make a protein shake with milk.

    Actually you should aim for 0.8-1.2g of protein for 1kg of your body weight.
    And to increase proteins try adding salmon (tons of protein), tuna in can ( i like tuna salad clover leaf---> yummy) and greek yogurt 0%.
    1cup (175g) of Liberté (Canada) - 0% Plain Greek Yogurt gives 100 cal6g carbs 0 fat AND 18g proteins. If you actually put Jam (strawberry yummy!!!) in it, you will also get a super post-exercise snack (carbs from Jam and proteins from the yogurt).

    You don't need a pre workout snack and a post workout recovery snack unless you are doing some crazy amount of exercise like an athlete. You mention walking 30 minutes as your exercise. That doesn't need snacks to replenish your muscles. When we talk of recovery meals it's for someone running 10K or doing heavy weights for an hour.

    Staying in your calorie budget with healthy foods is going to do far more for your weight loss than worrying about recovery snacks, proteins, supplements or any other tricks. Weight loss doesn't have to be gimmicks and science.
