You probably spend all of one second deciding what kind of milk to put in your coffee. What's to debate? If you want to keep the pounds off and avoid heart disease, choose skim. This is gospel, after all: It's recommended by the USDA and has so permeated our thinking that you can't even find reduced-fat (2%) milk at places like Subway—and forget about whole.

I did not give you any dietary advice. If you have to eat like you are obese or slovenly that is ok with me. But I don’t need to.
I do get off my butt and do something physical. It’s called bodybuilding ;) At least I did this for about 17 years, 1-3 hours a day 4-6 days a week. Had chemo 9 years ago, which wrecked my adrenals and I’ve been struggling ever since. In the past few months I started up bodybuilding again. I just have to take it easy, not lift heavy and not push it. Adrenals once wrecked take years if ever to get back to functioning normally again. Until then, if I’m not careful with my energy expenditure, I pay and pay dearly. Makes life most frustrating, I can tell you that.
Oh yes, CI-CO. Then my body must be scientifically flawed. Oh wait, it is! I have PCOS, so if I follow your guidlines I will get fat and stop ovulating again. I will also grow back all those nasty chin hairs. CI-CO, that’s why Atkins, South Beach, low-GI, and paleo diets are so unsuccessful. Oh wait, they aren’t! If it were that easy, everyone with low-fat, no-fat, low-cal items in their pantries would be thin, but that just isn’t so. I see so many young girls who are thin but have guts. This is a result of CI-CO. They are heading toward reproductive problems and sugar issues just like I was. No more sugar, real or fake, and a low-GI diet where I eat all the fat I want. Avacados are my fave!
Also, cancer cells eat sugar and partially hydrogenated and hydrogenated oils. How many of those ingredients are in Twinkies?
My husband, an “inorganic” farmer, says organic just means they spray at night.
I was not telling “YOU” to get off your butt - I was talking in general to EVERYONE! Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks for reminding me to increase my own organic gardening this year.
Rush Limbaugh has talked about a guy who did just that and lost weight and his cholesterol, sugars and other blood work were fine.
I have heard that the absence of fat messes with the calcium absorbtion.
It’s true...I’ve drank skim for yaars and even find 1% revolting...whole would gag me.
