Am I the only health-conscious person on the planet who has cheerfully eaten their weight in full fat dairy many times over without the slightest guilt or fear? Seriously, I’m pretty sure I’ve consumed at least half a pound of dairy products a week, maybe closer to a pound, more or less every week of my life. Of course the confirmation is always nice, but I’ve always felt certain that real cheese is not my enemy.

Many days, a half pound or a whole pound of cheese.

I’ve never felt guilty about dairy, lol.

I’ve always bought whole milk, even when it was going to kill me. :wink:Anything else, why bother?

Cheeses loves you. Amen! :cheese:

I love this line: “People with higher fatty acid levels, suggesting higher consumption of whole-fat dairy products, had a 42 percent lower risk of dying from stroke.”

And to think I was just about ready to return my 3-pack of kerrygold to Costco???
NOT😄

unboxing is like opening a Wonka chocolate Bar, and getting the Golden Ticket
Except , w this , I get 3 Golden packs of butter😍

I haven’t found Kerrygold cheese in England.

They form a major part for me; cream cheese and hard cheese particularly.

I’m willing to bet very few keto’ers ever had an issue with real dairy and it’s wonderful fat content.

Those butter rolls are awesome, just wish they did something to keep them wrapped better.

While this is great news as far as the validation of the concept that fat does not increase the risk of heart disease, something that the keto community has known and practiced for years. So, while cheeses and butter are great keto foods, just keep in mind that while an 8 ounce glass of full fat milk contains 8 grams of fat, it also contains 12 grams of carbohydrates in the form of lactose (milk sugar) that will knock you out of ketosis.

Cool, Eric - that comes from my little old hometown in northeastern Ohio (population ~3700). Would never have thought it gets the distribution that it does.

Is that still true if it is the only carb you consume that day? I miss milk so much, it is the onky thing I miss, that I am thinking of doing a glass of milk a week, kinda like a milk fast but I can eat all the fats and meats I want too, nothing with carbs at all just in case.

It depends on your personal carbohydrate limit. But theoretically, even 20 grams of pure sucrose—if that’s all you have that day—still won’t spke your insulin, though I would advise avoiding all sucrose for other reasons.

ETA: Of course the milk sugars are lactose and galactose, which aren’t quite so bad as sucrose.

(Aimee Moisa) #19

Yeah, but what about lactose? :wink:

If you are still making lactase, then don’t worry about it.
