Hi Guys,

What are your opinions on using Milk as part of your diet. At the moment I only have 2 x 500ml per day skimmed milk mixed with 200g oats and whey, but was wondering if I am better off using water?

Thanks.

water has no calories no lactose no sugars...water is best if your dieting

Been discussed to death mate. Have a search around.

I for one don't use milk, but others do. Water is the way IMHO.

As this is a gaining weight forum, im assuming thats your goal - so treat milk as your best friend

find a source of raw milk, it's the old timers secret anabolic and good for you too boot. Milk all the way for bulking, full fat of course.

Milk is for babies. Drink beer.

*Who said that?*

Yes milk can be great for additional cals/vits/minerals, underestimated for sure these days, that being said i don't personally use it, many are lactose intolerant meaning if you supp enough it might give you some stomach ache.

For bulking up without worrying about bodyfat = go for it.

Getting lean = don't go there IMO.

Arnold. Think the quote was "milk is for babies, when you grow up you have to drink beer".

However, in his BBing Encyclopedia he actually recommends milk as staple part of the diet - unless diet when dieting, obviously.

There is also Lactose free milk available in most supermarkets. Still contains a bucket load of sugar, but might be interesting for people who like milk but struggle with lactose. I guess it's just another process that milk goes through to reduce it's benficial properties.

Soz, I knew he said that. It's just a bit difficult to get across a stage whisper online!

im pleased someone brought this up - i am lactose intolerant so i use un sweetened soya milk - is this ok to use with my protein shakes?

Chris4Pez · 01-01-2008, 08:14 PM

MPO on this is that milk is good for you in many ways than one and should be used in everyones diet no matter what your goals are as milk provides us with one of the most important minerals possible "calcium" which makes our bones stronger and also helps us grow also, now TBH i wouldn't really worry too much about the fat in milk as its not really bad fat IMHO so wouldn't really harm you that much anyways!

I have milk on s daily basis due to me liking it so much and always have, but i also think it is essential in a well balanced diet!

Chris4Pez · 01-01-2008, 08:15 PM

the only thing i would say is be careful if mixing it with your shakes as milk slows down the digestion of the protein!!!!!!! (just bear that in mind)
