Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I was watching Andy Rooney on 60-Minutes last week - he pointed out that the fat in milk is very little when compared to other protein foods. As this chart shows you are getting 8g fat for whole milk, 3g fat for 2% milk and 2.5g fat for 1% milk. Personally 2% is my choice to keep in the house as whole milk taste too rich! but 1% and skim taste like water! All servings 1 cup Cal. Fat Sat.Ft Chol. Sod. Carb. Sugar Prot.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 We went to 2% years ago, then to 1%. Now we use skim. It tastes normal now. But back in the days of whole milk, I agree, it tasted like water. Believe me, you will adjust and you won't give it a second thought after a while.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Same here. I mixed 1% and 2% for awhile to get myself down to 1%.

We buy whole milk for the kids and on those rare occasions I need milk for something, I'll use that. Bear in mind -- when I say RARE, I mean RARE. Many years ago, I found myself a bit lactose intolerant...well, ok, a LOT lactose intolerant. For years, I'd have a glass of milk and some Oreos every so often before going to work. The one night I found myself curled up in a ball for the better part of my shift, in extreme pain. At that point, I learned not to drink milk any more. I've found that it's eased up quite a bit since going SBD, but after years of just not using milk (or any other dairy) I just don't use it even now.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I couldn't handle the fat free before, either. But, now, like you said, the fat free tastes fine to me. ann > > We went to 2% years ago, then to 1%. Now we use skim. It tastes normal > now.
