Meal timing strategies appear to lower appetite, improve fat burning

Milk can really spike your blood sugar levels as well, so I would be careful. Go for the whole fat type of milk rather than the skim milk or whatever.

Milk is something like 5% low-GI sugars (lactose and galactose), so you're going to have to drink a lot of it to spike your blood glucose.

If you really do want to drink that much milk, and are worried about blood sugar, you should try lactose-free milk - it's just milk that has the enzyme lactase added to it, which breaks down the lactose to galactose, and also results in a bit less sugar overall (to something like 3.5%). I can't tell the difference, taste wise.

Interesting, I didn't know that about lactose-free milk. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

What's wrong with skim milk? Is something added to replace the fat that was removed.

I expect it’s that skim has the same amount of lactose sugar. But, with less fat you’ll likely drink more of it before being satisfied.

Everyone should try lactose-free milk just once just to see how very sweet it is. It has the same sugar content as regular milk, but regular milk’s lactose is a form of sugar that we don’t taste as strongly.

Lactose free milk does tend to have a bit less sugar overall than regular milk - something like 3.5% sugars instead of 5%.

I don't personally notice lactose-free milk as being any sweeter than regular, and it doesn't look like galactose is any sweeter than lactose?
