I haven t had cheese or milk for a week now. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, who loves cheese ( born and raised in Normandy, France) and caffe lattes, so the idea of going without milk or cheese was like I do not eat a lot of cheese or milk daily. The only milk I get is from my mostly daily latte, and lately, I have been eating one slice of cheese, 2 slices maximum per day. I decided to try a one week challenge: no alcohol, no milk for one week. My goal was to do the Steve thing : test my discipline, see if I could do it.The positive outcome I was foreseeing was that: I might shed more weight that way. I do eat eggs ( egg whites mostly, organic) to build muscle. I have also included exercise in my program and have been active ( cardio( 5/6 days a week) and 20 to 40 mns a day of Callanetics ( isometric exercises)). I have been noticing more energy( even though I can t sleep earlier than 2 am/ sometimes 3 am and over) and better breathing. It s like my nasal passages are cleared. I am also not hungry, even though I eat less than a 1000 calories per day and lose at least 300 and up to 450 through physical exercise. It s not the first time I diet and exercise, and I have never felt that way before. My isometric exercises include great neck lengthening exercises: might it be a change of posture or could it be the elimination of dairy. Anyone wants to share positive aspect of going off milk products? Thanks. |

I love dairy products, but have regretfully stopped using them after a couple of trials proved that my skin is better when I avoid them. I've always had mild acne, but it almost vanishes when I don't use milk/cheese/etc. I experimented with organic and raw milk, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Apparently there are enough natural hormones in milk to cause trouble for me. Sigh. Vanity wins, so please pass the Rice Dream. |

the biggest thing i notice when i stay away from milk specifically is that i am not as congested when i wake up in the morning. brushing teeth takes a lot less time cause there's less first-thing-in-the-morning gunk to hack up (TMI sorry, but true). i still do eat a little cheese here and there but i stay away from milk 99% of the time. a soy latte can taste just as great as a cows' milk one. |

As a born vegetarian, I have grown up with milk. These days however I am working on eliminating it from my diet altogether. The most visible benefit I see is this: the moment I start consuming milk, I feel congested..the nasal passage does not seem clean.
