Skim Milk
Just wondering if any one knows why we can have plain yogurt that is on our list but why we cant have non fat milk in coffee or tea. I dont have tea or coffee cause i dont like it black but have always thought yoghurt would be worse than a dash of skim milk. Can anyone help Thanks Annie |

Hey Annie
I have always wondered this as well, as I am not a fan of black tea (i'm not a coffee drinker). To combat the fact that I cant drink milk with my tea, I have resorted to drinking herbal teas, especially Peppermint tea. I cant get enough of it and dont miss drinking milk at all!! |

Re: Skim Milk
Ok I am only guessing with this one but other than the standard answer of 'don't question the good doctor' I suspect it could be to do with the lactose/lactase (I get confused which is which). Same with cheese. The reason I say this is because as a child I had a severe allergy to dairy products - but could eat cheese and yoghurt. And I think that was because of lactose/lactase. But I am not entirely sure. All I know is cheese and yoghurt were the only things containing milk that I could eat so to me that says the body processes them differently from milk......

Re: Skim Milk
I don't have any answer to you question but if yogurt was not allowed, I would be quite upset because it was the only thing that resembled milk to me, so I don't feel that I miss anything dairy. Overall this diet is so balanced that I can't have any excuses!

Re: Skim Milk
yeah, i think milk turns into somekind of sugar or is like a combo of sugar and protein-since it is fermented when it is in yogart -i think the process removes the sugar or what ever badness lurks inside of it.-kind of like on atkins you can have full blown cream in your coffee but no milk.

Re: Skim Milk
Ahhh I thought it was about the protein in the milk. We're not allowed to mix our proteins and I know I'd have milk in coffee at any time during the day, not necessarily at a meal (not to mention the mixing thing) which would interfere with the 5 hour rule. Just my thought on it
