    I've been drinking a lot more milk than I used to- maybe a glass or two per week. I've heard however, from some people, that drinking milk can lead to weight gain. Is that true? I'm trying to loose a couple of pounds, but sometimes take it as a pre-workout snack which I need b/c I'm a diabetic and I have the tendency to get low blood sugars while working out.

    No...that is not true. If you are not eating too many calories...you will not gain weight from fat. Water weight comes and goes.

    I have a thyroid problem and sometimes it screws with my calcium. My body knows when it's needed and I'll start craving milk. In general, I probably have a cup of milk once a week.

    Sure, I drink skim milk. I enjoy it and I believe it's a healthy food choice.

    Since I've been losing weight I do drink less, though, because eating something chocolately and enjoying a big glass of milk with it used to be a regular thing for me! Not anymore. Also, I don't eat cereal anymore because most of them have lots of added sugar and I just can't stomach things like "Bran Buds" :sick: So we definitely go through less milk than we used to in this house. But I still really like it and have at least a glass a day.

    what about cottage cheese.
    I was drinking a fair amount of milk but now I only use milk in cereals and my iced capps. yogurt the odd time or when in smoothies

    I never realised cow juice was so controversial!!

    Don't touch the stuff myself -but that is just because I don't like it. it started at an early age - in infant school when we had the 'free' milk each day. It was always warm and creamy... bleurghhhhh.............................

    Strangely I had cravings for it whilst pregnant -so I indulged in milkshakes, but made from skimmed ice cold milk.

    I do'nt like cream on desserts -but I do love cheese - and eat virtually fat free yogurts a couple of times per week.

    The more I think about drinking cow juice the stranger it is though? I hadn't really considered it before :)
