[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]💕to OP and all PPs. I've wanted to remove added sugars but wasn't sure how to identify them or to start. I like that fruit and milk are freebies. And I'm much more aware of labels and the sneaky additions.

I'm just really bummed about my new oat milk. I bought it so that I would start to make a healthier frothier tea at nighttime (vs. a glass of wine) but it has so. much. sugar. I guess I will cut it with regular milk and use it up. Then look for the ones with no sugar.

Has anyone incorporated non-dairy milks into their regime?[/quote]

I'm OP. I looked at alternative milks but had the same reaction you did to all the added sugar. Trader Joe's used to sell a wonderful non-sweetened soymilk, but it got discontinued. I tried the unsweetened almond milk, but really didn't like it much. I'm small, Caucasian, tons of osteoporosis and osteopenia in my family, and even though there is debate on how to avoid it, it seemed clear to me I could not get anywhere near the recommended calcium amount without milk. Data on supplements is lackluster. Do you not like cow's milk? It's the cheapest and least processed option. I do all the other stuff, weight bearing exercise, jumping, etc., but I do drink about two cups of milk plus have a serving of cheese each day. The non-nutritive sweeteners don't seem like a great option either. I guess I figured less processing is better, but I totally understand wanting to avoid dairy products.

Anyway, try the almond milk and see what you think. Worth a shot.[/quote]
