Milk in a cutting cycle

[RippitUp]

I read a post my Mustang and he said to avoid milk in a cutting cycle. I am starting my cutting cycle soon and i usually drink 2 protien shakes a day with 1% milk. (10 ounces of milk per shake) Why is Milk bad in a cutting cycle or just lowering BF in general?

Lactose is bad for cutting phases.Please make a search about this,I'm not able to explain in English why it is.

Lactose, fructose, sucrose, all simple sugars... not the best for a cutting cycle

one cup of Nonfat milk (8 oz)

calories 85.75
protein 8.35
carbs 11.88
sugars 11.88
fat .44

Protein 39 %
Carbs 56%
fat 5%

you can see that these % are not in accordance w/ a cuting diet
and also notice that ALL carbs come from sugars.

How bout lactose free milk like Lactaid?

honetly unless you are 2 weeks out from a contest, milk is fine. yes it has lactose but 2 glasses a day wont affect you at all if your complete diet is in check.

milk also decreases vascularity

 

[momwarndu]

lets understand that a "glass" like we have in the cupbard is more than a "cup" (8 oz) so if you have a glass thats 14-16 oz, youre looking at 44 grams of sugar a day, thats 176 calories of sugar.... then i gues timing would have a lot to do with it...sugar befoer bed? bad idea... first thing in the am or after a workout... I would do that w/ nbo prob...

Dissto makes a point as long as it fits into the boundreis of your diet you should be OK

MILK ADDS A LAYER OF FAT BETWEEN SKIN AND MUSCLE.

Lots of consumption of dairy products does make one appear more smooth, however, unless you are cutting for a contest, a glass or two of skim milk won' t hurt much.
