Whole milk...

in TTC After a Loss
I juuuuuust switched from 2% to fat free milk to try to lose weight (BMI's around 29 give or take) because I heard being at a healthy weight will help you conceive... but then I heard whole milk products would also help you conceive... WWYD? Focus on losing weight or focus on fertility foods?

    I would stick with whole milk. The difference in calories and fat isn't significant if you're talking about one glass a day, and it has been shown to improve fertility (and some studies even say it helps with weight loss).

    Stick with the whole milk and try to cut back somewhere else in your diet.  It should be pretty easy to make up for the minimal increase in fat/calories.  Probably even just a few more minutes of exercise.

    I agree with the previous posts!  I have a completely unscientific theory that healthy-but-high-fat foods don't make you fat.  If you were eating a bunch of candy or something, that's one thing.  But healthy whole milk (or avocado, etc., etc.)?  I don't see anything wrong with that!

    I'm allergic to the fat in milk, so I have to drink skim. I'm not much help. Sorry!
