Depends on what your goals are. If you aren't dieting and trying to shed bodyfat, it's acceptable to indulge. However, if you are dieting you should avoid it for maximum results.
Sugar is sugar. Same reason why most people don't advocate eating very much fruit while cutting, for instance.
In a serious diet where you're trying to restrict calories, and especially sugars (except Dex PWO), milk is the last thing that I'd be wanting to ingest.
Milk will also give you a 'soft' look, as many on this forum will attest to.
How much drinking 2 cups of milk/ady would actually affect your progress relies heavily on your other meals during the day, and your cardio, etc... but when you're dieting hard, and you're trying to make every carb your ingest matter, milk is a poor choice IMHO.
thanks for the replies. I do cardio at least 4 hours a day sometimes 6-7hours I'm an athlete. I used to eat less carbs because I wanted to cut but I was told to eat more carbs for better training. Is it a bad idea to drink milk as a source of carbs for training?
Milk = Sugar. Plain and simple. Sugar is a worthless carb IMO when it comes down to it, except when it's used PWO (corn sugar aka dex) to spike insulin.Quote:

sugar is great as long is its pure glucose for pwo consumption otherwise never touch the stuff... fructose IMO is one of the Most worthless carbs.
Milk is good for protein i guess but its Cons by far outweight the Pro's and the ONLY dairy products i touch is 1% or fatfreeCotCheese
and HOLY HELL 4-7 hrs of cardio a day >< that is some serious calorie expenditure
But I heard milk has a low GI index in the low 30s so it digests as slow as fiber.
Cardio 4+ hours per DAY?
:eek:
~SC~
I mean lactose digests at the speed of green veggies.
yeah I came back from my 2 hour training and I have 8hour cardio tomorrow with 10min or no breaks. I'm off Sat and I have 15-20hour cardio from Sun night to Mon evening.Quote:

If you're asking why I train so much it's because that's like my job and it's compulsory in my case. I do that for a living and if I stopped I'd be dead. There are a lot of people train as much as I do so I don't see any problem with that.Quote:

I am pretty sure you are a tennis player, Asia is highly growing in pro tennis, and they train non stop. 8 hrs a day is very common. You need to lose the milk and go with some good carbs. Brown rice is good. I mean the milk is not going to kill you, cause you will burn that off in no time. But milk is for baby's, go with some oatmeal.. Sorry I gave your job out too, goodluck..Quote:
