Skim Milk

[Acylum]

For health reasons, and the albeit small price advantage, I've been trying to switch from 2% to skim. The problem is, I just can't hack drinking skim milk. This is the third time I've tried. Just wondering, if I force myself to stick with it will I eventually be able to make the switch?

Milk is milk is milk.

 

[Trainer]

I did, but to be honest, I don't like milk much to begin with. Only have it with cereal.

Have you tried it with cookies yet?

I went from whole milk to 2% to 1% to skim quite a few years ago. I am so used to it now that I have to choke down 2% when skim isn't available. Stick with it.

start off using it in cereal & things like that....

you can't make the switch just by drinking a glass, but youll make it eventually

I have no problem with skim. While the 2 percent and whole milks taste awesome, they wreak havoc on a digestive system like mine. I dont drink much dairy anymore anyway but when I need to soak my cereal, skim it is.

I personally made the switch to Malk based on cost savings alone, that and my doctor said I needed more Vitamin R.

Try going to 1% first, get used to it, and then switch to skim.

You kind of just have to get used to it.

I've drank skim for as long as I can remember and 2% seems disgusting to me.

Pour water in your cereal for a week. Then skim wont be that bad.

 

[isufan]

Yeah, I would suggest going from 2%, to 1%, and then skim.

Same here. I will just skip milk all together if skim isn't available. Once you get used to skim you can never go back to the heavier stuff.

 

[CycloneErik]

Skim works for me, but I've been used to it for years and years.

 

[balken]

I went from 2% to whole and haven't looked back. Other than lowering total calories, there is a lot of conflicting research as to which is more beneficial from a health perspective.

I made the switch several years ago. As I recall, it takes approximately 90 days; similar to switching from Coke to Diet Coke. Now 2% milk tastes really bad to me. Once you acquire the taste you will not want to go back. Go Skim Milk and Go Cyclones!

I think 1% is pretty disgusting. I don't know why but I always think it taste rotten to me.

When I was in school, I drank skim milk like water. I can tolerate 2% but it seems pretty thick to me.

I drink untreated milk as pasteurization is used by the government to control our thoughts.

 

[isuno1fan]

Skim milk for the win!

Plus rep, and screw you, hippie.

Of all the places to cut calories, dropping 40 or 50 calories per glass/bowl of milk just doesn't really seem worth it. Maybe if you drink a gallon a day or so, then knock yourself out, but there's just not enough of a difference in skim, 1%, or 2% to really care all that much IMO.

I also grew up on a dairy farm drinking milk right out of the bulk tank, so to me skim milk = water.
