Is milk fattening?

No. I think once you drink low fat, or skimmed you should be ok. But always pair that off with a healthy diet and exercise.

Actually, full milk can a between 3.5 and 3.8 percent of fat.

2% milk is already reduced fat milk.

It depends. If you drink tons of milk, then you will gain weight and can get other problems due to too much diary. Generally though, the best is apparently to drink 2% fat as it still contains some fat, but not as much as full cream. One glass a day however will probably not cause you any problems.

Milk has got more calories than coke. A lot of milk will be fattening. But yet, small amounts (1-3 glasses per day) are healthy. And it’s definitely healthier than coke, due to the calcium in it.

Whole milk is the most fattening..but in my house we cannot stand fat free milk…it taste bad :(

IDK - I drink a crap load of 2% or whole milk, and never really worried about the milk fat. I can’t stand anything under 2% - taste like water to me.

same lol

Don’t mistake calories for fat - it’s not the same thing. Calories is a unit of energy…she’s asking about fat.

YEP

Yes. But if you eat/drink stuff with a lot of energy in it - regardless of whether the energy comes in the form sugar, fat, amylum or protein - your body will transform any excess calories into fat and store it in your hips. So, if you eat lots of sugar which has many calories but 0% fat, it can be fattening as in “making you look fat”.

You get fat from it, but it’s still much better to drink milk than Coke or other fizzy drinks.

No, studies show that people who drink milk tend to weigh less. It’s like a super drink. Of course skim or 1% are going to be better, but if you prefer 2% go for it.

that why the doctors recommend to drink milk when your weak and skinny.! and why all babies drink milk because thts how they grow stronger and more thinner.!
