I drink full fat kefir but I’ve cut down to about a quart a week since it’s liquid calories and I wasn’t losing weight. I gave up milk a long time ago except on special occasions.0
-
Nope, never. Not as a child and not as an adult.
Personally I find milk to be vile.
The only time I've ever used milk is for cooking, and now it's only when I'm cooking for others. I'll do butter, heavy whipping cream, all sorts of cheeses, etc but milk makes me wretch.2 -
I don't drink milk at all, but I do eat full fat yogurt and when cooking I use either half and half or full fat milk.1
-
I had thought it was a no no, and too high of a carb hit. At least for me on Keto and trying to stay around 20g carbs per day.
I am really not a milk person but, I used to put it in my coffee. Since starting Keto this past Monday, we have switched over to full fat half and half.0 -
I put about a quarter cup in my 2 coffees total. But I'm just low-carb, not keto.2
-
Occasionally. I’m not a big milk drinker but we always have whole milk for the kids so if I’m in the mood for milk I have some and just go for lower carb meals the rest of my day2
-
I almost never drink milk but I use whole fat milk to make Keifer here at home and drink that.0

It is higher carb. I had no choice when traveling but to have full fat milk lattes and stuff. I also IF. So I had one or two of those a day and then my one meal because it was vacation and was like, meh, I want special coffee I’ll see what damage I’ve done when I’m back. And...I lost 4 pounds that week. I think you can have it. I usually stay between 20-30 net carbs. That week I went over that but always stayed under 50 net. I think being inconsistent threw my metabolism off lol - not planned, but now I’m trying different things to get the same results.
It will be harder to squeeze in veggies. And I LOVE my salads. But if you are not a salad eater... you can trial it for 2 weeks and if you stall or start gaining and that is the only change I’d look at it and use less or cut it back out and see if that was causing the stall/gain.0 -
Side note. I love in the US that I can go to coffee shops and ask for heavy cream and they have it. So I can get a 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 water lattee and it is all keto

I'm not a giant cow's milk fan but I do enjoy it in coffee occasionally. When I do use it in coffee I make sure it's always whole milk. it's treat once in a while.1

I can't remember the last time I had a glass of milk, cow or otherwise. I use dairy products but I don't really drink it. I mostly keep 1/2/& 1/2 around so when I need milk for a recipe, I "cut" the 1/2 and 1/2 with water.
Half and half is what milk used to taste like way back when I was a kid.
Seriously. We would get milk at a local farm and have to shake the jug before drinking it because it was at least 1/3 cream. Oh, the good ol' days. 4 -
When starting keto, we switched to half and half, heavy cream, and almond milk.
Almond milk favorite to drink.
Half and half in coffees and hot chocolates.
Heavy cream for cooking and sauces.

Milk makes me wheezy, and I'm left with an awful sour tasting coated tongue too. I do like pre-digested milk though, like full fat yogourt and cheeses, especially well aged cheeses.3
-
I eat a lot of yogurt, full fat to nonfat. I have cream in things and use ff milk for making crepes.0
-
We gave up FF milk, we didn't realize how much added sugars it has until we started watching our carbs.
When trying to drop carbs really low, I'd rather use the heavier creams 1 net carb versus milk 12-20 net carbs.
Can also water down heavy cream or half and half to get preferred milk consistency.1 -
Good idea Emma. I think cream watered down would also do well in cooking and baking, better than full fat if its high sugars I guess.2

I'm also a fan of really old hard cheeses. Soft spreadables are disgusting to me though.0

Cheeses are a weakness of mine.... Unfortunately, I love all cheeses. From hard (sweet) to the soft smelly ones (I stink the house up with Limburger and Taleggio). Love goat cheese, too.
I used to make myself sick eating so much cheese!!

I occasionally have full-fat milk in a small latte (10-12 oz), because I don't like plain coffee. Occasionally, like, really super rarely, I'll have coffee with cream, but that just doesn't taste as good to me. But at home I use almond milk. Unfortunately for me, places like dunkin & starbucks use the sweetened almond milk. Dunkin's is much higher in carbs than Starbucks.1

I ate so much cheese over the weekend. I think I will make cauliflower mac n cheese with what I have left, so I don't eat it all!!1 -
I don't like the taste of milk but I'll put it in my coffee if I'm out of cream.1
-
I put 28g/ 1oz of full fat milk in my tea but I put almond milk and cream in my coffee and hot choccolate .1

I haven't had a glass of full fat milk in decades. I will from time to time have small amounts of half and half in coffee or scrambled eggs but I have moved on to more plant based milks that are low carb. Califia Farms and Nutpods for coffee and Califia Farms Toasted Coconut if I am wanting a glass of "milk" its the only one I've found that tastes pretty good straight out of the bottle. Large amounts of cows milk (full, skim, etc.) never seemed to agree with me so I just found alternatives.1
-
I never liked milk, even as a kid, and wouldn't eat cereal with it unless I could have chocolate milk.3
-
I've been using this off and on.

Some of the Starbucks have unsweetened plant milks, it just depends on what the individual stores carry. I was shocked the first time I went to one and ordered an almond milk latte and actually had them ask "sweet or unsweet" but it is available from corporate and if you ask your local store they may be able to stock the unsweet version.3

I think I've seen coconut milk also. Years ago, I asked what milk substitutes they had other than soy. I remember asking my daughter if she wanted coconut milk or almond milk. But I don't think it's at all locations either.
Not positive, haven't asked for non milk substitutes in awhile.

I like their options too, but they sneak carbs in some of their plant milks
So I stick with the cream. 0
