craigb Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Getting milk from a cow, a goat or a super-model I understand, but getting it from almonds? That's just nuts! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best, it's juice. I am on a diet now and have been drinking almond and oat milk. It tastes more like fat free milk to me. Makes a great low calorie substitute for milk. They call it milk to attract milk drinkers I suppose. A marketing ploy that seems to work pretty well. Since I started drinking it, I don't really miss milk. I have lost over 20 pounds so far. 30 calories a glass if a person drinks the unsweetened version. That's probably my only motive for drinking it. They say milk is unhealthy, almond (milk) is not healthy according to some. Others say it's better for you. Around and around we go. 18 hours ago, paulo said: Fair point, but I guess the marketing folks figured that getting people to ask for coffee with a splash of nut juice might lead to some awkward situations This is similar to comments from others on the subject. It must take a LOT of almonds to make a gallon of the stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drink milk in any form - I have my coffee black and don't eat breakfast cereal so I've no real cause to. It does seem an odd thing to consume really - the lactation of another mammal. Mind you, I do make an exception for cheese ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but only when something I'm cooking calls for milk. I definitely have quite a bit of yogurt (whole-milk and unsweetened only, to which I add unfiltered, raw, local honey). I also enjoy cheese on some foods.

Mind you, I do make an exception for cheese ? A good course of action I'm sure. The lactation of another animal....? When I look at in in those terms it sorta causes me to think about it differently. I try not to think too much about eggs when I eat them for the same reason. Cheese? Who cares what they make the stuff out of, I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might sweeten it with monk fruit. For those who might be curious..no it has nothing to do with monks as far as I know. I'm on a keto diet. I only eat low carb bread. Any extreme increase in carbs will throw me out of ketosis. I allow myself some liberty occasionally. On this diet I can have all the meat and vegetables I want.

I allow myself some liberty occasionally. On this diet I can have all the meat and vegetables I want. I have yet to find any Greek yogurt that wasn't either still full of sugar or was low/non-fat (which, ironically, is a great way to stay fat and get heart disease!). I've listened to a lot of holistic doctors and this guy has been the best: https://www.youtube.com/c/drekberg He doesn't just say "Do this!" but, instead, goes through everything and explains in easy-to-understand terms why. This is my favorite yogurt: Edited September 15, 2022 by craigb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
