Whole, 2% or skim milk?

[Bigredcanecorso]

Hey bro's, got a question

I have been drinking skim for many years now, I have a lot of bro's that only drink whole while they are on then switch back to skim, is there any benifit to this? I know I remember Schwarzenegger saying that he only drinks whole.
Thanks to any\body with some comments

whole milk is lower in the glycemic index... i personally drink 2%

It is lower because the fat slows down absorption. I drink skim and add good fats in place of the milk's fat because it is healthier.

Depends, if you are a hard gainer, whole milk can be beneficial.

I drink fat-free.

Lifterforlife - How is whole milk more beneficial over the other types? I am curious because I consider myself somewhat of a hardgainer, and am looking for the proper milk to be drinking. ( I usually consume 1% or FF btw)

Simply more calories.

non fat milk actually has more protein

skim has the least amount of sugar and fat...

sugars are stored as fat is not burned...

i drink skim only... whole milk now looks too thick for me to even drink, after so many years of skim...
