Nowadays, women pay much more attention to their body shapes and they always try to control their weight. As a girl, I care about my weight as well and I always try to find some information about the ways to lose weight. One of the information I have noticed was about the type of milk we drink. There are a lot of information suggest that people, who wants to lose weight, should drink skim milk instead of whole milk. However, my aunt told me not to buy skim milk because it is not good for health. I started to think whether it is true since a lot of the information online suggest us to consume skim milk.
We can always hear that drinking skim milk can let us obtain the nutrition without ingesting so many calories, when compared with drinking whole milk. Girls always believe this statement because the word “skim” makes people believe that without doubting. However, according to Dr. Mario Kratz, “In terms of obesity, we found no support for the notion that low-fat dairy is healthier”. In the studies, 18 out of 25 showed that full-fat dairy consumers had lower body weights, less weight gain, or a lower risk for obesity. As reported, we can see that consuming full-fat milk does not directly make our weights gain. Besides, Dr. Mario Kratz also claimed that even “the other seven studies are inconclusive, none of the research showed low-fat dairy is better”.
Moreover, people usually drink milk to obtain some nutrition. According to the research, it is unavoidable to remove some substances, such as Vitamins A and D, when removing the fat in the skim milk. However, it does not mean that there are no nutrition contained in the skim milk. Whether to choose skim milk or whole milk actually depends on the individuals since people have different tastes. But it is still interesting to notice that skim milk cannot help people to lose weight. Instead, it contains fewer nutrition than the whole milk.

I have always loved whole milk but sometimes concerned about weight control, I will choose to drink skim milk. Thank you for your research that I will never drink skim milk again.
Skim milk is just watered down whole milk and it does have fat, just 0% per whatever unit they measure.
It is good to know that because I sometimes drink skim milk instead of drinking whole milk. For me, I like whole milk better but consider of the weight control, I will choose skim milk. I will no longer drink skim milk.

Cool to know. So actually whole mike can make you healthier and control the weight at the same time? I never know that before, so does both mike provide same amount of nutrient?

Even though I’m not a girl, I still try to stay healthy and take note of what I am putting into my body. I always thought skim milk was the “healthier” option without realizing it lacked Nutritional value. I only thought it was a lot less fattening compared to whole milk. I never understood the difference just assumed it was the healthier option. Glad to now know skim milk lacks nutritional value.

As a child, I was not one to drink milk. I still don’t drink milk, but I can see why skim milk may be less nutritious, because it is very hard to take just one ingrediant out of something without taking something else too. Also, in many items chemicals are added to make things fat free, for example yogurt. Fat free is definitely not always healthier, so unless it is naturally fat free, it is not recommended to buy it.http://www.lifewithgreens.com/four-reasons-fat-free-isnt-good-for-you
This is good to know! I always thought whole milk was unhealthy but drank it anyway because it tastes better! I was surprised to learn that skim milk cant help you lose weight. I thought that was the whole reason why they made it “skim.” I also think that it has a lot to do with moderation and portion control. Too much of something is never good for you.

My grandma always says this, and therefore my mom never bought skim milk! In fact I only tried skim milk for the first time very recently, and to be honest I prefer whole milk not just by taste, but by of course the good nutritional qualities. Good topic choice!

Hello! I actually never understood the exact difference between skim and whole milk regarding nutrition and what is better for health, so this post was interesting to read and also lead me to do my own research. One particular study tested health differences after 6 weeks of drinking either skim or whole milk. Interestingly, the results showed that skim milk is slightly healthier in multiple aspects. It states, “…whole milk beverages [are] the second largest contributor of saturated fatty acids to the average American diet.” While saturated fatty acids aren’t the worst for you, they can increase cholesterol level and should definitely be limited.
