The Last Word On Milk And Bodybuilding.

Your Body On Milk

When it comes to determining if milk should be included on a fat-loss diet, most coaches, trainers, or nutritionists will look at the macronutrient breakdown on the side of the carton. With the typical recommendation of skim milk, we find that an 8-ounce glass of milk contains no fat, 12 grams of carbs, and 8 grams of protein.

“As long as it fits into your daily macronutrient goals” is a frequently seen quote on the message boards, meaning the source doesn’t matter. The popular theory is that you should just count your total amount of carbs for the day, and that no food source is off limits. In this case, you’d be advised to consume milk because it only contains 12 carb grams.

This is a perfect example of the analogy of not seeing the forest through the trees.

The major issue concerning dieters and milk consumption is lactose intolerance. The “I don’t feel so good after I ate that” feeling. You’re bloated, fatigued, and all of a sudden, you feel down right nasty.

We’ve already established that lactose is the major source of carbs in milk. All babies can digest it, but as we age, we can tend to lose the lactose enzyme that lines our intestine during our infancy. This process progresses as we age (4,5).

Fat-free food could be a dieter’s achilles’ heel

Low-calorie snacks could actually do more harm than good and cause weight gain, according to a new study. Fat-free versions of snacks that mimic the taste of high-fat food bewilder the body by promising calories that are never delivered. As a result, the dieter is more likely to seek out further nibbles afterwards as the [...]
