Cutting out milk for a month

Alex -

Fine. Doubting Men's Health is probably more ignorant than believing everything they write. I'd be willing to bet any expert that writes in MH is more savvy on their subject than anyone posting on this forum.

Being lactose intolerant has nothing to do with wanting to lose fat, etc.

Yes, it aides in acne formation, but once again, that has zero bearing on the original post.

Look, a lot of you are extremely confused about basic nutrition. I'm no expert either, but I can tell you that cutting milk isn't going to make any significant decreases in body fat %; unless you were drinking a gallon/day. Anyone consuming 1% milk at a normal rate isn't going to get fattened up.

Cut out the ****ty high carb, high calorie foods, those are what pack on the pounds. It's good to have a high fat/high protein diet. If your body is constantly burning fat, you're increasing your metabolism.

Keep drinking milk.

Well yeah, if you were having a couple glasses a day MOST likely you wouldn't see a difference unless you were very intolerant. I'm talking about people making it a staple of their diet. I don't even agree with a couple of glasses but that won't break the bank.

And some people will see a near-miraculous drop in bodyfat and bloating if they drop milk and other high-lactose dairy products, it depends on the person.

In general I don't think milk is healthy. If it's whole milk and raw then I wouldn't have problems with a lactose-tolerant trainee using it - as long as it doesn't give them negative effects (i.e. bloating, poor digestion etc).

Let's not talk about the 'experts' in MH .. But I can name you half a dozen guys on this forum (excluding myself) who have forgotten more about training than those writers will ever know.

It's the weirdest thing. I had cut out milk for 2 months. Not a new pimple at all. I just had one of those Carnation instant breakfast things with milk. What do you know, I got pimples. It's been like that for a while. Majority of the world is lactose intolerant. It wasn't until a gene mutated that we could handle lactose. Why in the hell would you put that stuff in your body?

Dairy products are a health hazard. They contain no fiber or complex carbohydrates and are laden with saturated fat and cholesterol. They are contaminated with cow's blood and pus and are frequently contaminated with pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. Dairy products are linked to allergies, constipation, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it can cause anemia, allergies, and insulin-dependent diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease, America's number one cause of death.

And dairy products may actually cause osteoporosis, not prevent it, since their high-protein content leaches calcium from the body. Population studies, backed up by a groundbreaking Harvard study of more than 75,000 nurses, suggest that drinking milk can actually cause osteoporosis
