A couple more thoughts on dairy....When I realized I had celiac disease I was a mess digestively, virtually every single food out there bothered me. I gave up gluten and dairy too for maybe 8 or 9 months, can't remember exactly, but I'm guessing everything healed because when I added back limited dairy I had no real problem AND all those other sensitivities went away too.
Now, however, I do get bloated and don't feel so good if I have more than just a bit of dairy, so I'm careful. I love Fage full fat yogurt but can't eat it more than once in awhile. I am conscioius to severely limit dairy, always. And as I said before, I've often broken stalls with my cheesecake....perhaps due to the dose of higher fat I get from it, but given the nice losses I've had I guess it didn't stall me. An interestingly, the cheesecake gives me no digestive issues whereas the Fage Total yogurt does. Go figure!
I saw Mark Hyman on the Oz show and he mentioned dairy being bad because it has hormones. I'd always been thinking it was "added hormones" for the cow's growth and milk production, but that's apparently not the issue according to him. He said the COW produced hormones that went into the milk which were designed for baby calf growth and weight gain. So that's the reason it might not be good for us in the long run. Or at the very least, we should have it in small amounts.
I remember reading about Marilu Henner, who is very nicely slim and who totally avoids dairy. She calls it "bovine sludge". Ugh!
