Milk & Calcium for swaying girl

I'm just wondering about milk and milk products for swaying girls, am I right in saying we should limit our intake of milk products? I know everything in moderation is allowed on the Le Diet but should we try and limit our calcium intake overall? And what's a good recommended milk substitute ... Almond?

I've been wondering the same! I've been eating a lot of low fat muller light yogurts to stop being hungry while doing the le diet but I hope I'm not ruining my sway? They're really low fat & not fortified with any vitamins etc but obviously still dairy?

I would let your diet totals be your guide. I don't want you to treat dairy as a free food, but it IS a great way to get a lot of cals, protein, and fat (if you need to) while not stuffing yourself.

Thanks Atomic, just wondering tho if you were to avoid full fat milk all together what is a good substitute soya, almond, rice or goats?

I always have skimmed milk, I'm not sure if that's ok? Only a little in my coffee not much x

If you compare a full fat carton of milk and a low fat carton of milk there is more sugar in the low fat one, and less fat ... It's a bit mis leading but that's how advertising works!

Soy milk, I believe it sways pink, but others say blue and so just as a general rule, since there's conflicting info on it I tend to have you guys avoid it. Anyone with thyroid issues, even if you just suspect you have tendencies that way, soy may make them really act up and also anyone with Crohn's please avoid soy.

Almond and coconut based milks seem ok to me. The fats in them are vegetable based and so while they do have some nutrients, they may still sway pink.

I drank a lot of rice milk when I ttc my daughter. If you have PCOS it is very carby though and may make those tendencies act up.

I think goats milk is the grossest thing I ever drank and I do not recommend it for anyone except baby goats. :)

Yes that is fine! Most pink swayers do use skim milk. Anyone with PCOS or insulin resisistance or more than 30 lbs to use should use full fat instead, as something about the sugars in skim milk really makes these high blood sugar tendencies act up.

:agree: exactly. Skim has slightly more carbs, full fat has only a few carbs.

I know this is an old thread but I'm confused. I am attempting a low key girl sway and have been looking at the diets and it looks like the french girl diet requires 1/4 gallon of milk every day? am I misreading this??
