    I'm thinking of incorperating milk into my diet

    I read alot of different magazines everyday and most say to put some sort of dairy into your diet. On the other hand it's a taboo to put it in your diet on here.

    They say it's good for you, helps promote weight loss, etc. All I see the benifit is for healthy bones (its nutrients) but i also see how lowfat/fat free milk is almost made up of only sugars.

    Arnold also says in his encyclopedia book to use milk...

    I'm on a lean mass diet with cardio 4xwk 45min. on cycle. Just a thought, where would the milk benifit best in a diet, any kind. (in protein drink, for breakfast with pro\carb, or anything else....

    The book "Brawn" by Stuart McRobert, Editor of hardgainer magazine , recommends tons of milk for hardgainers. I've always thought the diet principles on this site make the most sense, though. Which a couple of years ago, they weren't necessarily the sites principles, they were Swolecat's! In the time I was gone from the site Swolecat took over. Just an observation.

    I personally think it is a good idea. Try get organic, free range milk if possible (processed type is not that great).

    Unfortunately the norms around here are along the lines of milk is useless and only have carbs if you bulking. So you will most likely get shot down for the idea

    I would never put milk into my diet. Peasurization (sp?) is what kills milk. Also, a lot processed sugar.

    When I was more into powerlifting and honestly cared less about how I looked I drank milk all the time..Honestly just by cutting it out and replacing it with a good lean source of protein I could see a change in my body. That told me that milk sucked for my body at least. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone..

    You need to look carefully at the research advocating drinking milk for weight loss. Please note who the research's sponsors are.

    I agree about the quality of milk. Hence my suggestion that, if you are incorporating it, try get organic, free-range milk. It may cost a bit more, but if you are having 2-300ml a day it aint that bad. I also do not think you need exceedingly high amounts. I still don't get how people manage to put down a gallon a day
