So if OP is already underweight than what was the purpose of this post? I'm confused.

That's because it's like solving a rubric's cube that's all one color...

I am still losing and am not yet near goal, but I find that full fat cheeses and yogurts are noticeably more satiating than low or nonfat versions. Either way I weigh, record, and calculate everything and stay within my boundaries. I drink a ton of tea, and like it creamy, but for that I have switched to using unsweetened cashew milk, because it keeps me under 600 total daily calories even though I drink tea all day long. If I was using milk or cream I couldn't have as many cups day, and I like the latitude to have however many i want.

I have heard such varied views about full fat dairy ! I personally stick to nonfat whenever possible but also understand that I get a huge percentage of my daily calories from fat free powdered milk nonfat cheeses and yogurt and even fat free half and half .

i have tried to stop dairy to lose that last ten lbs... felt very calcium-deprived.

Your experience?

I haven't read all of the responses so I apologize if I am duplicating. Just wanted to pipe in as someone else who doesn't do much dairy. There are vegetables, I think they are mostly the leafy green veggies, that help with getting more calcium in.

Not sure if you've tried any of those but it might be worth a shot. Very few calories for a huge blast of nutrients.

oops and also - about the full fat vs low/no-fat. For me, full fat in smaller portions helps more with satiety that large portions of non fat. I feel more satisfied with a small amount of full fats than I do with a large volume of non-fat calories.

There are people much more knowledgeable about this right here on OH and hopefully they will chime in if they haven't already.

One of the problems I've seen with very low fat intake is that your skin and hair suffer terribly. Wrinkles appear and the skin has a lackluster quality. The hair looks frazzled and has no sheen. I've seen people go on ultra low fat diets and their appearance has aged 1-2 decades. Good MCT's are important for so many body functions. And half of our vitamins are fat soluble.

I completely agree. You can immediately spot them but the straw-like hair and sallow dry skin.

Agree 100%; another positive for full fat! It keeps my coat nice and shiny!
