Hi, this is my first time posting. It's been 3 years since I've
lost the 25 pounds that was really hurting my self esteem (I'm a
college senior now, am 5'9'' and weigh 150). I lost the weight
over a 5 month period, entirely by switching from sodas and juices
(very high calories and carbs) to water and coffee. But I found that
while I was losing fat, I also was losing all my muscle and would
constantly be hungry. Adding milk to my diet changed this (high
protein, low fat and calories). I soon became sick of skim milk, which
was too watery, but was afraid whole milk would put my weight back on.
While visiting my sister in Boston I stopped by a Garelick Farm's
promotional event (I always go for free samples) and got hooked on Over
the Moon Milk. It tastes exactly like 2% and Whole milk but has the
same calories and fat as skim milk (and higher protein). Check out the
nutrition info at www.overthemoonmilk.com (I saw coupons here too and a
$25,000 contest). I haven't been able to find another milk that's
healthy without being watery. So my advice is, get rid of liquid
calories, but keep in milk to sustain muscle mass and avoid hunger.
