The only thing that would make it hard to completely cut it out would be having to give up ice cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208637 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:44:51 +0000 Running Elley 208637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut out dairy pre-pregnancy and it made me feel SO much better. I didn’t feel bloated, my skin got better, etc. I plan on cutting it out again post-partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208629 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:42:40 +0000 MrsBrewer 208629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! dairy is pretty high in fat! I being a Wisconsin girl....if I ever did that I really think I would be banished from my state :-) Although my dad recently just gave up all dairy because he was having major stomach issues (I think he's lactose intolerant but he refuses to go to the Dr.) But he has dropped 10+ lbs since he cut it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208618 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:38:17 +0000 hilsy85 208618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could not give up cheese or greek yogurt, so there's no way I could do it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208600 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:30:19 +0000 LivsMama 208600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dropped it for awhile, and I loved how great I felt. They do have soy yogurt, and I used to use rice cheese for pizza/tacos/etc. It was a pretty tasty substitute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208550 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 10:15:32 +0000 meaganceleste 208550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about it, but I would miss Cheese too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208522 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:58:17 +0000 Alivoo01 208522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love dairy too much to completely remove it from my diet (no yogurt or ice cream?!), but I do limit my dairy intake (e.g. no cheese on my burgers, sandwiches, or salads). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208289 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 00:04:13 +0000 mrsjyw 208289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've slowly been noticing that I might be starting to develop my dad's lactose intolerance. It's not a fully out dairy allergy -- but I've noticed that my digestive system does not handle dairy as well as before... def considering changing my diet post-partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-208284 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 23:51:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 208284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for Lala and dropped below my pre conception weight. It just wasn't sustainable though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207921 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 11:41:51 +0000 ladybee 207921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was considering this because I get cystic acne and I saw only that dairy could be the reason why. I love cheese, a lot, so it may be hard. I think I'm going to aim for cutting back first. I eat a lot of yogurt, eat a lot of cheese, and enjoy milk so I think cutting back would be easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207895 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 10:02:17 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 207895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really miss cheese. The coconut milk and yogurt and especially ice cream are all really good. But there is no good substitute for cheese.</p> <p>I cut wheat and dairy for the baby, and while dairy was her issue, I think cutting wheat was good for me. Need to get back off it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207893 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 10:01:32 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 207893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both hubs and I are dairy free (he's lactose intolerant, I have a mild dairy allergy), but we splurge on pizza and ice cream from time to time. I noticed a huge difference in my skin, my bloated stomach, and how I felt generally.<br /> I couldn't believe how common it is for people to have issues with dairy. My naturopath reckons that about 75% of all North Americans have a dairy issue. </p> <p>But its all soooo goooood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207892 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 10:01:00 +0000 Maysprout 207892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might as well try it, different strokes for different folks. Some people love cutting out carbs - I feel like I'm about to die. Same thing with milk. I want my cheesy pasta and pizza and ice cream and yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207886 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:57:58 +0000 heffalump 207886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh can't have dairy so I don't eat it that much, but I didn't notice a difference in how I feel. I used to not buy cheese just for me, but now that my lo is eating too and loves cheese ill buy it for us again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207862 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:23:56 +0000 MamaMoose 207862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not something I could ever do because I love milk waaaaay too much. But I agree with you that I know a lot of people who do it and say they feel so much better afterward. It does make me wonder if part of it is mental. Or if they are making other major changes at the same time the affect how they feel. Could dairy intolerance really be that common? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207861 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:22:27 +0000 prettylizy 207861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ive been off dairy for 3 weeks now because of LO, and honestly you just get used to it. I miss milk like crazy sometimes, but like anything else, you just adjust. Give it a shot, you might surprise yourself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207859 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:19:40 +0000 chopsuey 207859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't cut dairy out though. It's too delicious </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207858 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:19:24 +0000 chopsuey 207858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's bff is on a Paleo lifestyle diet and he dropped about 60lbs over a year. He's really lean now. He cut out all dairy.. eats coconut based stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-considering-cutting-out-all-dairy#post-207856 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:18:29 +0000 mrbee 207856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having kids has forced me to learn way more about diet and nutrition. One of the surprises has been how many people have problems with dairy, and how many people have reported feeling much better after not eating any dairy.</p> <p>I've actually been cutting way back on dairy recently, and I think it's been helping me (lose weight, anyway). I'm considering completely cutting out all dairy, but it's a bit scary. I don't mind cutting back on milk (although I miss my lattes!) and even cheese (though I truly miss eating cheese!). However, I really do love yogurt and hate the idea of not eating it regujlarly.</p> <p>I just found out though that they have non-dairy yogurt:<br /> <a href="http://voices.yahoo.com/5-delicious-non-dairy-yogurt-options-3922320.html" rel="nofollow">http://voices.yahoo.com/5-delicious-non-dairy-yogurt-options-3922320.html</a></p> <p>So maybe I will take the plunge and go all in on the non-dairy.</p> <p>Has anyone out there cut out (or cut back) on dairy? Did it help you feel better and/or get healthier? </p>
