I thought I was going lactose intolerant. I could enjoy cheese and ice cream, but not milk. It turns out that I was reacting to the growth hormones in milk. When we switched to a hormone-free dairy (that delivers!) I immediately found relief.
My VA nutritionist says that a portion of dairy products in the morning can help reduce weight. I don't know how that works, but I'm delighted to oblige! Half a pint of milk, half a cup of non-fat yogurt, or some cheese.
By the way, try some Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. That stuff is fantastic. No fat, no sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. But great flavor. Mix in a heaping spoonful of GrapeNuts and a few berries and you have a really nice light breakfast.
