I'd like to see you try to get that milk from your cat.
I don't have a cat, but whenever I go to my mother-in-law's house, I take a swig of her cat's milk.
To clarify, most babies in the United States and I would guess Canada. All this talk of milk is starting to make me want some ice cream.
I have nipples and I've never seen any milk come out of them. I think I'd freak out if I did.
Edit: I'm a guy btw.
I actually could use some advice. Can anyone suggest to me some healthy snacks? I have class from 8-12 Fridays so it means I go to gym early. I eat breakfast at 5:30 and then have my next snack (a carmans museli bite) at about 9 but by 11 my brain is mush so I think I need something else, nothing too high cal just to get me through until lunch which will probably be around 12:30 any ideas?
I usually get a low-fat liquid yogurt with cereal. You probably don't have the same ones there but something like these:
The forms of sugar used in junk food are poisonous to people. Literal poison.
Those who still like the sweet stuff should stick to raw honey, grade b maple syrup & agave syrup.

For snacks I eat almonds. I buy lots of different flavours, or I soak raw almonds in vanilla almond milk.

You didn't squeeze hard enough, quitter.
Carmens muesli cereal is gooooood.
I never knew they had snacks though.Also, I'd eat a banana, although I'd probably eat one before I went to the gym as well. They're a good source of energy, and provide it very quickly.

They do and they are sooooooo good!

Did you even read my last post? Like I mentioned in the previous post, "low-fat" anything will cause you to gain weight. Read Good Calories, Bad Calories. It blows the myth on the low-fat craze.
Please pay attention next time.
lol have you ever even seen cow? Since when do cows nipples drag along the ground? Last time i checked grass wasn't a toxic substance either so as long as you know where your milk comes from there are zero problems. Plus last time I checked every baby drink milks and the human population still exists so it can't be all bad
never seen a cow no .... go and eat a bowl of grass and see how you feel after
as long as you know HOW your milk is treated there are less than a few problems (baring in mind MILK IS FOR BABIES)
come on people - i may sound a bit sarcastic - but unless you read up on the "literally tonnes" of info out there on exactly WHAT you take in when you drink milk ... then don't' make fun of me - it upsets me that people are all so - oh the government says it's good - so lets all do it ...
whats that saying about jumping and buses!!
yes yes i know - but the way i said it was BARE facts!!
sorry ...
i didn't dress it up THAT much
I thought this thread stated eating butter, not better
Oh well, I'll throw in my $.02
I've given up eating fast foods, tonic, and other fried foods/high caloric drinks. I did this years ago and feel good and lost weight. I also run 4+ miles a day.
Now with that said, I've found myself over the course of time slipping back into bad habits, picking up a back of tostitos, or cheetos etc. Part of the problem I face is that I have kids and we do need some snacks in the house for them.
While we endeavor to have them eat healthy and focus on fruits, they like their chips/cookies/crackers from time to time. The problem is staying away from that myself.

I'm sure that attitude is where most people fail in their diets. From time to time isn't going to hurt you. Your body will be able to cope with small amounts of the bad stuff and as long as you watch the calories your weight will be fine. No need to live like a monk, if you get my drift.
Agreed, I think moderation is really the key here and that's one of the problems we face in the US. Just go to any restaurant and order an entree. The portions are HUGE. I typically cut my entree in half and take it home with me. The same goes with snacking, I don't mind some chips but after a certain hour at night I'll not eat any more and I don't like having them with me in the living room where I can mindlessly stuff them in my mouth without thinking.
Its just not what you eat but how and when you eat it.
For breakfast most days in the winter/spring (whenever i dont have fresh fruit) i usually end up grabbing a pop-tart or something on the way to work, but recently i've been eating a medium-sized bowl of cheerios and a tall glass of milk and i must say that i am feeling much more energized throughout the morning. It makes me eat healthier at lunch too because i dont eat a ton of food to make up for a bad breakfast and i can pick out something decent instead of just chowing down. When the peaches come in this year i'll have to comine them with my cheerios and see what happens.
