The Water/Coke thread had me thinking.
Who else here drinks milk?
I do, right around a gallon of skim every 5-7 days. I don’t eat cereal, but I always have milk with dinner.
Started a while ago when I would eat hot salsa and needed to quell the heat, but now I’m drinking moo juice with every dinner.
In anyone’s view, is this contradictory to today’s modern muscle building diets?

The ratio of protein/fat/carbs in milk makes it excellent for gaining lean body mass. It would be what you would want to drink at night because it is low in carbs. So milk is awesome!
It has also been used to loose weight in some studies:
I like milk, but it puts padding around my tummy. That’s why I’ve switched to bull’s milk - less fat, but also harder to come by.

That stuff you’re getting from the bull … I don’t think it’s milk.

No, I’m pretty certain it is. It’s white and runny. It does smell and taste different from cow’s milk, so I can see how you’d think that it’s not milk.

Um, no. Milk is not low in carbs, it has more carbs than protein (13-8 a serving or some ratio close to that). I love the stuff, and drink over 2 gallons a week, but it’s not a pre-bedtime snack unless you’re really thin.

I drink raw, whole, grass fed milk. Usually about a gallon a week. Usually only in the a.m. with my coffee and Grow! shake. The farm manager made a mistake and poured me two gallons on Sunday. Rather than waste it I’ll drink two gallons this week. I thought I’d give some away, but folks at work cringe a bit when I tell them I drink raw milk. So now I keep my mouth shut about it.[/quote]
I used to drink raw milk - till one day I looked in the bottom of my glass and there was a nice thick layer of blood…I guess the brown tinge in the jug should have tipped me off.
By the way what is the benefit of raw milk over pasturized? besides being cheaper, which is why I used to buy it.
I drink probably a gallon of skim milk, per week. I only drink it, really, because I can’t stand the taste of protein + water. Usually I’ll have 3 shakes/day, two of which will be with milk, plus a little bit with my morning oats.
I can’t stand the taste of milk, otherwise, but it makes the protein taste immensely better - especially metabolic drive (just got my first two containers, and it’s amazing).
I hate milk. It makes me vomit immediately. I hate the smell, the taste, the colour and I can’t digest it. My aversion to milk even makes me gag with anything that tastes or feels similar, like Baileys, soy milk, whatever.

Ever have blood sausage, same thing only not sausage.
I started buying it because it hormone free, organic and grass fed. Regardless of any health benefits (which I can’t quantify) I’d rather support my local farmer than some conglomerate. Interesting article it today’s Wall Street Journal about a small milk producer pissing of the big guys.

Genius, the criteria for if something is low or high in carbs is not whether the carbs are more or less mg than the protein. Does that mean if you ate something with 100mg of protein and 80mg carbs that it would be low in carbs?
Read a few more nutrition articles on this site, learn what the glycemic index is, and then we can talk.
I love milk! I usually have 2 glasses (1 glass + 16oz) with breakfast and two with dinner plus a protien shake durring the day. That’s about 80 oz a day…
