[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are being ridiculous.  He's not really all that heavy for his weight and the stop in loss, and gain around the waste, could indicate a growth spurt.

If you are going to give him one glass of milk a day you are better giving him whole milk.  [b]Once you remove the fat from milk you are left with nothing but sugars[/b] and that will actually make anyone gain weight more than the fat in the milk will.

A low fat diet really isn't all it's cracked up to be if you are removing the fat from where it is naturally occurring.  It's one thing to trim a steak and another to remove it from milk.  Also foods like coconut and avocado are high in fats but really good for you.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure that there's protein in skim milk.[/quote]

Not as much as you'd like to think and your body processes the milk differently because of the lack of fat.  You are much better off with whole milk or goat milk.
There was a study proving that if you are going to drink one glass of milk a day while attempting to lose or maintain weight, that whole milk is better and more effective.

What I think is that there are 8 grams of protein in a cup of skim milk, compared to 8 grams of protein in a cup of whole milk.

And please provide some references that your body processes protein differently if it comes in skim milk vs. whole milk.[/quote]
