Anyone ever STOP drinking MILK?

[frorider6]

What effect did it have on your body? From just protein shakes, I drink about 3 gallons of milk per week. Just wondering how my body would react to dropping it.

I would already have cut it out if I could find a way to prepare my shakes without it. Water and protein powder is just nasty.

i use it to make shakes too, but only use 1/2 cup
3 gallons a week is pushing it bro
i believe moderate dairy is ok, but that much is pushing it if your trying to cut

 

[benchboy55]

Well, I'm a hard gainer, so I've been "bulking" my whole life. But I'm reaching a point where I'm slightly happy with my size and want to shift to bulking/cutting at the same time (I know it can be done).

How do you make a shake with only 1/2 milk? Is the rest water?

i have just stopped drinking milk. i don't think it's right that humans continue to drink milk after they are babies, and not only that, it's even crazier that we drink another animals milk!

WTF

are you kidding me??? our cereals will taste like shit without milk.

 

[haxedout]

milk is great(skim).... not only does help slow down protein absorbtion(could be bad, if you need protein quick-post workout) but it also adds protein to ur diet.... makes them shakes taste a helluva lot better too, it does have sugar in it but a small amount that shouldnt harm anything if you dont consume other sugars throughout the day.....

 

[GLADIATOR351]

In my experince, I have been able to drop that last little bit of fat by dropping the milk from my diet/shakes. For some reason the milk seems to cause me to hold a little extra.

 

[Matman]

WTF would you want to stop drinking milk for anyway? like haxedout said, skim already has potein in it, with little sugar and adds to absorption, cutting or not it wont make a bit of difference, buts that my personal opinion.

 

[Raffaz]

If you wanna cut down the amount of milk you use, then try mixing your protein shakes with half milk and half water. They still taste good.

 

[assbeater]

who fuckin' cares about cereal, i don't eat that either, it's mainly a bunch of surgar anyway. i don't care what anyone says, animals don't drink other animals milk!

 

[marx]

I've basically cut milk out of my diet entirely in the last couple months. Since then I have noticed a lot less bloat and not so much of a smooth look. Something about the lactose in milk that doesn't mix well with me...

 

[Matman]

WTF does that mean, "animals dont drink animals milk"?

Hey, milk does your body good! got your milk??

 

[Vageta]

Assbeater that has to be the stupidist analogy I've ever heard. Who gives a shit what other animals do, last I checked that never dictated what humans do or don't do. Animals don't stick needles in their ass to inject anabolic compounds(though we do it for them), they don't raise other animals in farms specifically for slaughter or harvesting, they don't sit in tanning beds for hours to look good for their mates, etc...

And actually animals do drink other animals milk if you must be so as a matter of fact. Have you ever seen a cat or dog turn down cow's milk? Hell no. They probably don't do it in the wild as I doubt any mother would let another animal attept to suckle her nipple without a fight. Much easier to kill her and eat the meet than attempt to drink a meager amount of milk.

Back to the topic though I don't see anything wrong with milk. Almost everyone who has stopped drinking it complains that it bloats them. Well bloat = water and it's temporary. I'd say keep it in your diet until the last couple weeks so you can shed the extra water. Milk and other dairy products have hidden sodium so when taken in excess they can definately bloat you up over time.

 

[supertech69]

I too drink about 3 gal of milk a week & it really has no major effect on me. When I do cut it down I do half milk & half water in my shakes. I don't even use skim, I use 2%. Unless you're getting ready for contest why do that to yourself. I believe that the fat in it is good for you as well as the added slowly absobed protien. I drink tons of it & I've still got a 6pack. But, everyone reacts differently. I'd try cutting other stuff out first.

Good point. Anyone want to share a glass of milk with me?

Anyone think Lactaid would help. I have no problems digesting it now, I just want to cut down my fat a bit.

This MILK is for you!!

I gave up milk a few months ago when I read one of Dr, Franco Columbu's books. He says we have rennin, a chemical necessary for the metabolism of milk, in sufficient quantities only as children and that adults shouldn't drink milk. He says he definitely became more cut when he dropped milk from his diet.

Also in Pumping Iron someone asks Arnold if he drinks skim milk and he says no, no milk. Then he jokes, "Real men drink beer!"

That's enough for me to cut out milk. I just choke down the protein with water.

Vageta you are an idiot! of course they don't stick themselves with needles or suntan, they have no concept of that. and of coures if you feed your cat or dog milk they will drink it, they trust you to be fed, that doesn't mean that you should, any GOOD vet will tell you not to give your pet milk, they don't need it, and neither do humans. when i brought up that animals don't drink other animals milk i was saying that when they are done getting milk from their mother then they don't drink milk any more. they don't want other animals or their mothers milk anymore. that doesn't mean that they wouldn't like the taste! i like the taste of milk, but i don't think we should drink it. we as humans do a lot of stupid things (which include sticking needles and suntanning, but we are an intelligent species.) no, wild animals don't keep cows on farms to be slaughtered, but they don't mind trying to come in and kill those animals to eat them either.


My point is carnivor animals kill prey and eat it, plant eaters eat plants, and BABIES drink milk!!!!

 

[Matman]

Your not helpin yourself here asseater and joncrane, who gives a shit was some quak has to say about not needing milk as adults? the fat ass probably has no teeth in his head and has a complexion that looks like a shit sandwich!

I'm cut and I drink my Milk, if you dont like it fine but dont tell me or others that it's fuckin bad for you!

 

[assbeater]

first of all bud it's my opinion that it isn't needed and probably isn't good for you. second of all, i have seven percent body fat and have drank milk for years so don't go making it seem like you're all high and mighty. i've been able to see my abs ever since the fourth grade and i used to drink a lot of milk. i just don't think that we need it, if you have a problem with that i don't care, it doesn't bother me, do what you want and drink what you want!

Matman you are an idiot

First of all I am not telling you what to do. Drink 8 gallons of whole milk a day for all I care. I only said what I do.

Second of all, look up Franco Columbu in any internet search and check out a few pics. He was one RIPPED, HUGE motherfucker. He won 2 Mr. Olympias. Most knowledgeable people agree he was bigger and had better definition than Arnold, he just had the misfortune of being rather shorter than Mr. Schwarzenegger. After competing in bodybuilding he went on to get several advanced degrees in nutrition, including a Phd. So he knows what the fuck he is talking about, and like I said, that is enough for ME to follow his advice.

Arnold is not the world's biggest idiot in bodybuilding nutrition either, unlike some people I know.

Dumbass.

[Matman]

Well Hell dude, now your comment makes all the sense in the world. . . he's got a PHD and he's bigger than Arnold. . . everything he says MUST be true right? If this guy told you to eat Twizzlers all day long and you can look like me you do it.

Keep following his advice asshole. . .you'll be one more dick in the weight room I can squash.

Matman,

My main points were 1) I'm not telling you what to do, or trying to claim to be an authority. I am quoting another known authority. 2) The authority in question is not a "a fat ass with no teeth in his head and has a complexion that looks like a shit sandwich", whatever that means. He's a two-time Mr. Olympia, and I'm much more prone to believe him than a random guy who uses threats to cover up his ignorance.

And, BTW, if you're ever in DC feel free to look me up, and if you dare, try to "squash" me.

That said, I am perfectly willing to agree to disagree. You keep doing whatever you want, I'll keep doing whatever I want, and we can both not judge each other. Deal?

raw milk

I drink a lot of milk too great protien and makes the MetRx much better than water IMO.

I just bought my first gallon of raw milk. I had read of the GHs and such in it that are destroyed via pasteurization and decided to give it a try for a while. It can be health risk and may contain pesticides if from a larger dairy - mine comes from a guy with only one cow and is totally organic and drug free. The guy who turned me on to it gets 8 gallons a week from him for over a year now and hasn't had a problem - lots of kids.

A drawback is there is no way to get it totally skimmed down to zero fat.
