Many have asked why I will purposely advise a person to cut out all dairy from their daily diets.

The Answer?

It is one of the best things that one can do to increase their weight loss progress. They also question lactose consumption (or lack of) when choosing not to consume dairy...

Let’s Grow Big and Strong

Lactose is very important for our growth when we are new to this world.

Lactose is a sugar molecule that is found in milk and other dairy products.

Inside the intestines, an enzyme known as Lactase is produced in order to digest Lactose.

(With people that are Lactose Intolerant, their intestines don’t produce enough Lactase. This makes it hard to digest Lactose).

Its main function is to help energize the body. Energy is essential to promote growth and movement in the human body. The best part is that you don’t need milk as an adult. You can receive natural sugars that will promote the same growth by eating healthy foods.

The Lack Of

In general, dairy usually lacks adequate nutrients. What the dairy businesses do then is “enrich” the dairy products.

This simply means they add nutrients in it.

And surprising enough, dairy usually has a low measurement of Calcium. If you added dark leafy greens into you daily diet you would receive more Calcium than you would milk.

It would be much cheaper as well.

As babies we need milk as we cannot chew and digest other food. Milk provides us with some nutrients and energy that we initially need to grow. If breast fed, a baby can also absorb the antibodies from the mother and create a stronger immune system.

Supplementing

Almond Milk seems to be the new craze for people who are lactose intolerant.

It’s also a trend for people who know that milk is not a necessity.

Any product to take the place of milk is not necessary. If we really think about it, when we are told that milk is good and we are trying to lose weight, we are drinking a substance with a high fat content.

Not only is there a high fat content, but if we fail to burn off the energy we get from the lactose in milk – we store the extras in our fat cells.

The Conclusion

If we are trying to lose weight, we can avoid dairy completely. Your body won’t miss it. It’s not just the fact that we don’t need Lactose as adults specifically but also the fact that we can get an energy supply from other foods as well.

Complex Carbohydrates
are a great source for energy as they are the body’s primary source of energy. (Examples being: fruits and vegetables.)
