Milk is bad for humans

[NQurious]

I'm not sure if it's bad for everyone, but I can tell you for certain that when I stopped drinking it, all of my allergies went away. And I used to be on Claritin-D, various inhalers, etc. on a daily basis.

I gave up almost all dairy a few years ago when I was diagnosed type2 diabetes. Milk spikes my blood sugar. I do use heavy whipping cream in my coffee with no apparent ill effects.

I'm not going to spend any more time in a trading forum talking about how cows milk is bad for me! If you want to talk about trading the nq using price action I would love to have a conversation with you!

Wadda thread ... health and NQ price action all at once ... my two favorite topics!

My guess you're not a doctor. FYI Dairy increases your LDL. If you don't believe me, go ahead eat a pound of butter daily, drink whole milk, eat lots of red meat while you're at it. Continue doing that your whole life. Have fun hahaha.

I already do some of what u suggest. Third of a litre of full fat milk, 3 to 5 extra large eggs, a couple of ounces of full fat cheddar cheese...consumed daily.

Cholesterol at 5.1, hdl is very high and ldl v low.

If u can reduce your body fat levels...you should eliminate the type 2 diabetes.

Thanks! That’s what I’ve been working on. I now eat a low carb diet generally. I eat no sugar whatsoever, and rarely eat starches. I have about 50 pounds to go to get back to my “fighting” weight lol. If I stay away from the starches I keep my BG levels below 100 for the most part. When diagnosed my fasting BG was 156 mg/dL. This morning (and most mornings) it is 83 mg/dL.

I am not “cured,” as a starchy meal, e.g. white rice as a side dish, will still get my BG upwards of 195. However, a side of rice used to get me above 300, so I am still producing insulin, and I am definitely more insulin sensitive than I was at diagnosis. Eating better has enabled me to control my blood glucose and avoid all medications. Even my cholesterol and triglycerides #’s have improved dramatically.

Eating all that stuff, are you sure you're measuring body fat correctly. Good luck, you'll need it.

One of the healthiest diets in world comes from japan. Limited dairy, if any at all, made up of rice, fish, vegetables and carbs. All the hype around high fat, low carb diets needs plenty of kool-aid to wash it down. Another diet fad, next ...

There are lots of kool-aid drinkers in the diet world today. Just try to find a vegan youtuber whose veganism does not rise to a level of near religious zealotry.

A Whole Foods diet including meat, fish, eggs, and non-starchy vegetables, limited starchy vegetables, limited processed grains, and eliminating sugar in all forms seems a sensible way to go, imo.

Anecdotally, I can say from my own experience that a diet lower in carbohydrate, for one who has compromised his body’s ability to process glucose, has definite and measurable benefits.

Just concentate on losing body fat. Energy balance is the key. High carb, low carb it doesn't matter. Whatever u prefer and is sustainable. You need this to be your new eating pattern for life otherwise you'll put the fat back on if you revert to your old habits.

Hba1c measurements matter more than measuring BG levels after meals....dont become obsessed by them.

No, are you? In any case, doctors are NOT clued up about nutrition and the effect of food on the body.

I am certified in nutrition (scientific stuff, not some bs on the internet) and personal training.

So can you confirm that sleep is more important than diet? They are both important but which one carries more weight health wise?
