Can I have milk in my diet?

In the absence of any medical issues, the only thing you have to give up to lose weight is excuses.

I drink a lot of milk and dairy everyday. As long as you stick to your calorie goals it wont make a negative difference for weight loss

The milk I drink is 90 calories do I add that to the calories Im trying to cutt

Yes. I don't understand the question. Add everything you put in your mouth that has calories. Weigh it on a food scale, or in this case use a measuring cup.

Their are so many good Alternative's to Milk that are good tasting and lower in fat and calories try some.....

I like good ol' cow's milk. I've had 24 ounces of it today. If you try that other stuff (cashew milk, almond milk, etc) and don't like it, just drink the milk you like and fit it into your daily calorie allotment. Of course, if you're lactose intolerant you'll need the "alternatives" but you didn't mention being intolerant.

Really? I can have almond milk etc etc in my smoothies, because you can't taste it. But in coffee and tea or on it's own blaaaahhh. Nothing comes close to cows milk for taste.

I agree, I can't get past the taste of almond/soy milk on it's own.

And calories.

LOL yes, those too! In my defence, I wrote that at 3 a.m after a thunderstorm woke me up (makes note to only try to be profound whilst fully awake!) ;-)

I have 6 oz of whole milk in my cereal every morning and often have an 8 or 12 oz glass in the evening before bed. Milk is delicious and satisfying and should not be excluded from anyone's diet unless they have dairy related health issues.
