When dieting why do you cut out milk and other dairy products?

[bodybuilder1234]

If im serious about dieting should i cut this out? Why?

You don't need to cut it out. Like with sodium, you only need to worry about it if you want to get into contest condition (water retention), and even then it's questionable if it makes a significant difference.

cereal is for babies.

i'm only looking to go down to 8%.....Will it make a difference in the long run?

Well if you're only having like a cup of milk with some cereal it shouldn't be a big deal man.

Anything in the single digits as far as bodyfat is concerned is never an "only"



Cut the lactose sugars.



Milk = Lactose = Sugar= fat (.)

Lactose (disaccaride) is broken down to the monosaccarides galactose and glucose = stimulates insulin (glucose)

(Most adults don't have the enzyme lactase, so in theory the lactose should drain the body from water through osmosis and give you a drier look. Just in theory.)

That would be "disaccharide" (genius) and the absence of the lactase enzyme in the body would make the undigested lactose drain through your ass.


So, in theory, you would have a drier look, and would be "sharting".

I cut out dairy products when dieting, no specific reason, just never found a place for it.  In the off-season I don't really have it either (I used to though), but now I'm thinking of adding it back in with my protein shakes just as a way to up the calories...

Correct!
As we all have experienced - diarrhea and gases!
The osmotic gradient lactose "creates" drains the body of water and sodium resulting in the flat look...

You can "get back" the lactase-enzym by drinking a lot of milk.. it took me several months before my body started to activate the enzyme.

But as I stated - "Just in theory."

You wanna get as big as a f'n house and as strong as an ox, it takes 60% dedication and 40% milk.

If you wanna get anorexic looking, get AIDS.  Ask "pellius"...he can give you details.

Lactose (disaccaride) is broken down to the monosaccarides galactose and glucose = stimulates insulin (glucose)

So is oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and brown rice (broken down into glucose). 


Milk is no better or worse than any other source of carbs.  A cup of skim milk a day won't kill you.   Seriously, where do these bodybuilding dieting "rules" come from?

For the guy 4 weeks out from being an "oiled man in thong" that may be true, but for the average joe dieting to see his abs I'll repeat what I said earlier:  a cup of skim milk a day won't kill you.

Use water

For your application, one cup of skim milk in the morning is more than okay. People are overly concerned about the sugar content and the glycemic response. They fail to realize that once protein and/or fat is added to the equation, the glycemic index can be thrown out the window. There is also the sodium content, but that too is negligible in the grand scheme of things (for your application).
