If you're a big fan of milk - whether it be in cereal, cooking / baking recipes, or even as a simple drink on the side - try changing the milk that you purchase to intake less calories. Here is a quick comparison of different types of milk available vs. calories (per 8 ounce/ 1 cup serving): Whole Milk (American Standard) - 150 Calories - 8g Fat 2% Milk (Reduced fat) - 120 Calories - 4.5g Fat 1% Milk (Low-fat milk) - 100 Calories - 2.5g Fat 0% / Skim Milk (Nonfat milk) - 80 Calories - 0g Fat What little difference does it make? The 70 calories between whole milk and skim milk (even the 40 calories between 2% and 0%) make a huge difference after time! For example, if you consume 2 cups of milk daily and you changed your whole milk to skim milk; you can lose a whole pound in 25 days/ ~1 month (1 pound = approximately 3,500 calories). Just from changing your milk, it's possible to lose 12 pounds in a year - without feeling like you're on a 'diet'! | Of course, there is a factor of taste which may become problematic for some (never force yourself to eat/drink what you don't like!) - that's why I advise that you move down the list, one by one, as you get accustomed to the taste of 2%, 1%, then 0%. For example, I moved from 2% to 1% for a month, then 1% to 0% (skim milk) another month after. The whole family often forgets that we drink skim milk now - try to ask for non-fat milk with your favourite beverages as well, you'll barely notice the difference! |
