    Sadly, no milk is best, until you get to goal weight

    With the amount of milk I drink, if I drank whole milk I'd weigh 400 pounds lol

    Me neither. I drink full cream milk everyday, 350-500ml, and have done since i was a kid. I drank more when i was at my thinnest than i do now.

    Skim milk is essentially milk soda. Full fat milk from the cows teat is preferable.

    Preferable for what specific reasons?

    Or do you just mean preferable to you?

    Skim milk is just milk-flavored water. It's a sad beverage for sad people.

    I have half and half (light cream) with my coffee and soy milk (Silk light vanilla) on my cereal. If I have cow's milk, the lowest butterfat I'll go is 2%. If I have ice cream, I want full butterfat ice cream and I'll just eat less of it than I used to.

    If you like skim milk in your coffee or tea, fine, but for those like me who can't stand it -- don't punish yourself by eating crap you don't like because that's not a lifestyle you're going to want to sustain for the rest of your life. If I'm not going to enjoy something, I'm not going to eat it. Period.

    And sadly, I've done this through 72 pounds of weight loss -- so the statement that you can't have milk until you're at goal weight is just B.S.

    @Bwrock84 are you still here? Has reading all of these replies made your decision any easier? :worried:

    I've discovered, to my utter surprise, that just referring to the milk in my coffee, I consume fewer calories if I use the whole milk that we have in the fridge for the kids.

    I usually use semi-skimmed or, preferably, soya wholebean, but we had run out of both. I am such a dreadful house keeper. So, forced to steal the kids' I realised I only needed about half the milk to get my preferred "whiteness". Intrigued I did a little experiment and it was confirmed. I used about half the volume, and that had fewer calories than the volume of semi-skimmed I would usually add.

    Now, of course there are other considerations, like protein and ethics that I also care about, so back to the soya, but I shan't feel as worried about the odd whole milk coffee scenario from now on.

    I have lost 35 pounds while drinking whole milk almost daily.
