anyone drink Whole Milk?

i have read that Whole Milk (cow's milk) has Less Carbs than the Non Fat, 1%, and 2%... does anyone drink REAL Whole Milk regularly?  NOT Almond Milk, or Soy Milk...  just Real Whole Milk...  i LOVE milk and i cant even imagine not being able to drink it after i have my RNY... i mean, im not really going to drink that much... maybe 8-10 ounces a day right?  ANYONE DRINK THE REGULAR WHOLE MILK REGULARLY???

Yes, there is ONE less gram of carbs in whole milk than skim. However, there is 8 grams of fat in comparison to .2 grams in skim milk.  8 grams of fat in 8 oz of whole milk represents 12% of the calories from fat.

Depending on what your doc/nut recommends, when I was in my losing phase I didn't exceed 10% of my calories from fat at any one meal. I chose not to waste my fat grams on whole milk, but got what I needed through my protein sources.

When I got sick and was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underweight, my nut had me substitute whole milk for skim in order for me to put some weight on from the fat.

Your choice

I too love milk...however my doctor doesn't want me to drink it as it is empty calories. I do have a small amount every now and then but not very often. When I do drink it it is always  skim. I miss it very much!

Why does  your doctor consider milk "empty calories?" Just curious. It contains, calcium and protein. . . Is it because it goes through too easily?

Karen...yes it is because it goes right through....you don't get the calcium and protein absorbed that fast.
