[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.

One 8-ounce glass of skim milk, also referred to as fat-free milk, contains approximately 8.5 grams of protein. Nearly 40 percent of the 90 calories in an 8-ounce glass of skim milk come from protein. Virtually all of the remaining calories come from carbohydrates, while a very small amount come from fat.

Whole milk has a high fat content. Whole milk contains approximately 8 grams of fat per 8 ounce glass. Five of the fat grams come from saturated fat. The fat content is the least nutritious aspect of whole milk. Saturated fat does not provide any health benefits. In fact, saturated fat is metabolized differently than other fats and causes plaque build-up in your arteries; this can cause high blood pressure and heart disease. Saturated fat can also cause weight gain and some types of cancer. The consumption of saturated fat should be limited, and if possible avoided altogether.[/quote]
