    Almost everyday i dedicated myself to drink a glass of milk (not always in the morning. Cause i have to eat rice in the morning). I think milk is good for my growing process and bones that's why i always drink it everyday. Kinda hard to lose weight and is drinking milk the reason?

    No. Consuming too many calories will keep you from losing weight. If a glass of milk or a dish or rice fits in your calorie goals then it is fine.

    Milk isn't ideal for nutrition. Nevertheless, it's better than milk substitutes like soja milk oder rice milk. They are highly denaturalized and very unhealthy.

    Neither the rice nor the milk is causing weight gain. You are gaining weight due to too much food overall.

    Do you weigh solid foods and measure liquids? Log everything you eat?

    I suggest that you learn portion control throughout your diet.

    By the way, when I was a kid my mother used to make rice, add butter, cinnamon, sugar, and milk to it, and it was breakfast. I still love mom's concoction. :)

    No its not milk. Maybe reduce the rice.

    Certain foods in and of themselves do not cause weight gain or loss.

    Why do you have to eat rice in the morning?
    Open up your diary.
    I like milk. You having full fat? Semi skimmed? Skimmed? 100ml or a pint? Or a gallon or a thimble?

    LOL.

    Milk is find. Not a thing wrong with it.

    Soy milk and rice milk are fine, just as is hazelnut, coconut, hemp, almond milk.

    Eat your rice and your milk, just weigh your portions of food. It just sounds like you are eating too much over all.

    I hate milk except in cereals or protein shakes, both of which I rarely partake. My mother used to stretch milk by mixing it with the cheapest A&P powdered milk available and force us to drink it while still at room temperature.

    Full cream milk ruins diet?

    23 years old is what her profile says.


    Ah, pretty sure you are done growing, OP. I personally don't drink milk, but if you like it and it fits in your goals, go for it.

    Heh, at 23 your only growing out, not up. LOL

    It definitely depends whether it fits into your ideal daily calorie intake or not. I put on masses of weight, when I got a taste for lattes! It wasn't the fault of the lattes but the fact they took me to almost twice my daily allowance (I drank a lot of coffee). Most things are fine within reason (makes for a more balanced diet). Too much of one thing displaces room for other nutrients but it doesn't sound like you are consuming an extreme of milk.
