Non fat milk

By Turtle Added at July 9, 2009 Views 1,832 Reviews 25 4.25518 stars

As soon as I was diagnosed with diabetes, I made some radical changes in my diet. I immediately went from 2% milk to non fat. It only tasted weird to me for about a week because I knew it was best for me. I continue to use this milk and although I have not lost much weight I am losing inches. I highly recommend non fat milk.

When I was a kid, I drank whole milk; couldn't stand anything less. Now, the only time I drink milk is when I mix it with a Carnation Instant Breakfast, so I don't mind the thinner milk.

I have changed to non-fat milk and although I am not much of a milk drinker, I use it in my cereal and all of my cooking and baking. It has not done a thing for my weight but I am sure I must be helping my healthwise.

Pros

It is fine when you get used to it and it is reducing the fat in the diet, especially if you are a big user of milk. I use it in my sugar free puddings as well.

Cons

Just that it has not made a difference in my weight.

Growing up on a dairy farm, we used to drink the milk fresh from the tank. I could never understand why poeple would want to drink "blue milk" as we would call it.I just can't do that anymore and I switched to nonfat and it is ok.

Pros

I don't drink alot of milk, but when I do I drink nonfat.

I have honestly tried but there is no taste to it. I do not use a lot of milk because of IBS. I'll cut fat from my diet somewhere else. 2% is as low as I go.

Pros

Not a one I can think of.

I am lactose intollerant. I drink lactaid milk 100% lactose free and fat free. My whole family drinks either 1% or fat free milk.

Pros

The lactaid milk does not upset my stomach. The 1% or fat free milk does not make my sister sick either.

Cons

The only con would be that for the milk sugar or lactose they take out,they replace it with regular sugar.

Pros

Cons

non for me

I'm not a milk lover and full-fat milk always made me sick at my stomach. The old-style skim milk was like milk of magnesia—ugh. The filled milk now sold is quite tasty. I still don't drink it very often, but I use it to make jello instant pudding.

Pros

Lasts forever in the refrigerator.

When you say non fat milk are you talking about powdered milk? I was the last of five children and can remember my Mother buying Carnation no fat milk in a box.

Pros

It worked for us as a family tryin to make ends meet.

Cons

Can't stand the thought of trying it again

Can't quite bring ourselves to drink this. We have come a long way from whole milk down to 1%. Maybe one day we will go all the way!

Pros

Less fat

Cons

Too watery and tastes nothing like we think milk should taste. Comes from drinking only whole milk while growing up.

My husband, who is 63 and has Type II, has always drunk either skim or 2% - it doesn't see to matter which. His weight doesn't change - the only thing I have seen that brings his weight down is to eat more vegetables and meat. And after 3 years treatment for metastatic melanoma - radiation and chemo - his taste has changed so that he does not like healthy meats! It tastes too dry - so I'm on a constant lookout for something that is good for him and also low fat. Almost impossible!!

Our family has always consumed nonfat milk. So we are used to it. Drinking milk with fatin it at all is like drinking pure cream.
