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%

 

[bombers]

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)

 

[Jayhawk21]

I like 1%

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...

no milk when cutting. bulking id drink whole

fat free milk actually has more protein than regular milk and no fat how could you go wrong

Deans has a skim milk out that is creamier than normal. It is marketed under the Skinny Cow brand. More carbs, but no fat still.

Ya I don't know why skim milk would be that bad for cutting. It is basicly pure protein.

Yeah, same issue. I used to drink 1%, but then switched to Skim. Had 1% one time after and even that felt so thick because Skim is a lot more condensed. Couldn't imagine drinking Whole Milk. I used to drink it as a kid all the time though.

I consumed 3 servings of Diary (SKIM MILK) and i had excelent results while cutting. In fact i have heard that calcium helps your stomach not store FAT.

Exactly bro, and i find it its easiest to digest and drink.......especially in the protein shakes

2% usually bulking or cutting...occasionally some skim...i lose lean mass if i cut milk out of my diet with no effect on bf

Something tells me a little milk fat is beneficial. I vary the type of milk, depending on whether I want to drink a lot of calories or not. I'll stick w/ 1% when cutting, even though it's a little higher calorie than skim b/c I want the little bit of extra fat. As long as total calories are in check, no worries.
