For the people who drinks milk, regardless of skim, low, etc.

I can't drink too much milk straight up or I get the bubbles, but I can take down a lot of milk if its with protein powder.

I am the opposite, I am ok with a bunch of milk by itself. But when I mix it with my whey, my stomach starts brewing.

Unless you are competing, then it should not be a problem. The pros of drinking milk out weigh the little the cons that there are.

yeah I have had to cut out some supps recently. Whey is getting so expensive and BCAA's here in canada are crazy expensive. I stopped using ZMA just to cut costs a bit.

I'll drink about 3/4 pints on a good day, thats including one in my protien shake. I'll go for full fat for a treat now and then :p but usually its semi skimmed!

It depends on weather or not I am cutting or bulking. I just seem to hold on to the fat longer when I am cutting and drinking milk in my diet.

Bring on the milk if I am bulking!

Definitely whole milk. Anything else tastes like chalk water. What does raw milk entail? Unpasteurized?

Raw grassfed milk is superior. I used to drink a lot when I could get it for $3/gal from a farmer I knew. Now that I'm in California it's legal in stores but it costs $16/gallon here and it's Holstein milk, which is lower quality than the Jersey cow milk I was used to for $3/gal in PA :(

BTW, I just hope you guys know milk causes a big increase in insulin levels, even though it's glycemic index is quite low. Not that it doesn't have its place...just a thought for guys taking it before bed.

Damn, I could have saved thousands if I had just switched over to Almond Milk 7-8 months ago...

S***, I've wasted a lot of money...

i consume around 2-3 glasses (16-24oz), it is one of the cheapest way to get quality protein well along with bread :)

Milk is great for controlling body fat, I have started drinking it every day, I used to drink skim but now I drink lite milk which is a combination of skim and whole.

I drink about 2/5 a gallon/day of skim. Tastes almost like water, so I don't really mind the taste.

same way here too man. Bulking i will try and drink a gallon a day at the height of my stage (can't keep that up for more that 4 to 6 weeks though, due to cost) during a cut i'm lucky to finish a gallon in 7 days before it goes bad.....

A heads up - tried this Hood milk, called Calorie Countdown, and it's been ever so delicious. 90 calories per class, sporting a 5g fat/5g carg/8g protein breakdown. Of those 5g carbs, only 3g are sugars. Taste wise, absolutely great. The aftertaste is like milk chocolate icecream. In the event that there's a Big Y near you (grocery store in the North East), they currently are running a 2 for $5 sale until the end of the month if I remember correctly.

Here's a link with the ingredient label:

Hells yes, I love this stuff! They've got it at Walmart here where I'm at in IL. Good stuff, not real expensive either and PERFECT for cutting/low carb diets.

4 gallons here. Pricey at $5/gallon. Best stuff by far and beats down the dead milk at the stores. Raw milk actually tastes more "milky."

Do you live in a rural area? I'd LOVE to be able to buy raw milk.

I like milk, but i've heard from bodybuilding friends and a lot of studies that it isn't nearly as good or important as people think.

Yes its a good source of extra protein and calories, but i know lots of people that never drink milk, and others that swear by it. Depends on the person i suppose, also if you know how they make milk and what they do to it :O can be a bit scary.

I personally only drink milk on rare occasions because most of them seem loaded with sugar and i can get the things i need from milk easily from other foods.

yeah the sugar in milk is a ***** but it digests slower then oatmeal, so it is like a complex carb.

No, I am in Grand Rapids , MI. Not far from farms though. Many states have these cow share programs. There is a website http://www.realmilk.com/ and it can help you locate a farm in your area. Raw milk is the best. I cannot even drink store milk anymore. :hammer:
