Which milk is the best?



Recommended Posts

I actually like the non fat better since it is lighter. I don't like thick creams and stuff so the non fat has a better texture for me.

Before being banded I didn't really care for drinking milk but lately I crave it.

I love the Simply Smart Milk. There is the Skim that tastes like 1% and the 2% that tastes like whole milk. It is less watery and has a higher Protein count then other milks. Give this a try. Hopefully they sell it in your area. Good Luck

for coffee, tea & such, i must have cream (if i put enough milk in to get my drink the right color it gets cold). for drinking and Cereal any thing more than 1% tastes too thick. 2% & whole milk just taste too much like cream for use as a beverage.

i spring the extra cash for organic when its available. it tastes better and doesn't have the stench of cruelty that non-organic dairy products have.

Growing up in the 60s/70s we always drank 2% milk. Skim looked watery and light blue back then..yuck. Then toward the later part of the 70s my mom started buying skim milk, and it was thinner, but wasn't blue, and didn't have a weird metallic taste like it did when I was younger. Now I can't tolerate any kind of milk except skim. It seems like cream to me. However, in coffee, I'd rather take it black then put in skim. I think it's too watery for coffee, and gives it an off taste.

For really bad tasting milk, I find the ultra pasteurized milk disgusting, It has a long shelf life, and to me, it tastes like it's been sitting on the shelf forever. :rolleyes2:

I got Non-fat for a long time, and then more recently bumped up to 1%. I find that 1% tastes so much better than non-fat, that it's worth the extra calories. Whole milk is awesome, but probably not worth the extra calories. I get all my milk delivered from the local dairy. My son, who is the main drinker, can't stand store-bought brands in comparison. I don't drink milk, except with cereal.

Note, that there was a study last year or so in Sweden or something that tracked people who drank whole milk vs. skim, and I think the whole milk drinkers might have been less overweight or no different from the skim milk drinkers.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
