Question Hi Tanya,
why do a lot of diets advise not to drink milk - isn't it a healthy drink? - and to avoid dairy products in general?
Thank you!
Answer This is one of duplicated questions. Did you ask me to repeat it?
The major reasons are:
- lactose intolerance
- relatively high carbohydrate content for those concerned with counting carbs
- relatively high fat content in full-fat milks
- higher carb content in low-fat milks compared with full-fat milk
As to dairy products, it's a different story. For instance, yogurt made of whole milk has only 4 carbohydrate grams in 1/2 cup while the initial product, milk has 11 carb grams.
