Milk. Good or bad for cut?

[Deleted member 33117]

BodyByFinaplix,

Do the studies mentioned what is so good in dairy products ?


Is it calcium ?, Colostrum , other immunoglobulins ???

That hasn't been conclusive. Its believed that the high levels of highly absorbable calcium (compaired to other food sources), potassium and magnesium play a role. Colostrum is a none issue. Human beings older than 72 hours break down the growth factors from the colostrum, and even if they got to the bloodstream, igf-1, and other growth factors are species specific, so bovine ifg-1 is worthless to us. It has also been speculated that lactose itself has something to do with the increased insulin sensitivity. Research ideas have been proposed already on finding the answers. Its just a matter of time.

I'm tired so I'll make this short, without any opinion of my own. I'll state the facts as accepted by modern science and let you make up your own mind, that way, no one can argue with me.

Studies on dairy and fat lose: Severak double blind studies published in peer review journals in the last 3 years show that men who eat 3-4 servings of dairy a day loose 30% more bodyfat on the same type of diet, and with the same caloric intake as non-dairy male dieters. Females, on average, lose 100% more bodyfat in the same situation. People who eat alot of dairy products while eating excess calories, gain less bodyfat than their non-dairy consuming peers.

Lactose the sugar and GI: lactose is a much lower GI carb than brown rice, sweet potatoes, oats and whole wheat bread. However, it still has a less complex structure than starches, and is classified as a sugar.

Dairy products and your thyroid: no studies have show evidence that milk slows down the thyroid, as of yet. However current research suggests that it increases insulin sensitivity.

BodyByFinaplix comes up big again.

Ive added 3-4 servings of dairy to my diet in the form of cottage cheese, and have lost a considerable amount of fat in those hard areas such as abs, etc.

depends on how u handle lactose. I dont' get bloated too badly off dairy. My sister, on the otherhand, will hold almost 2-3 lbs of water more when eating dairy regularly

dairy products have very low GI.
its fine to eat it.
cottage cheese is one of the best way of protein.

I think most "diet gurus" frown on dairy products. I know they cause some people some trouble, but only by retaining water or being lactose intolerant. I really don't think it should effect someone trying to get cut(6-9% bodyfat), unless your calories are way over the top. I ran across a guy from www.bodybuilding.com a little while ago. He always included dairy products in his diet and he's lean(6-8% bodyfat). He only uses Non Fat stuff like Skim Milk, Non Fat Cottage Cheese, or Non Fat Yogurt.

Milk is ok with me bro. it's just another kind of protein. And your body needs protein.

I think I'm gonna add 1/4 gallon of 1% milk a day to my diet.
