How horrible is it to substitute a cup of skim milk for a meal, on occasion?


I know it is the ideal if you run out, but is it the vitamin count that makes it an all the time no-no?

Hi, Sidrah.

How often is "on occassion?"

It could be the vitamins. It could also be the sugars (lactose). It could also be the fact that it's not a complete protein (doesn't contain all the amino acids in the right proportions). I'm sure someone will look this up and post a more accurate and decisive response. Just 6-a.m. musings, here.

The Quick Start Guide says you may substitute 1 glass of milk for a meal if you run out but only for 1 day.

Skim milk is a complete protein and is not a problem, on occasion. Just depends on one's definition of "occasion".

I do this about 3 times a week, as I have HUGE milk cravings. Milk is definitely my downfall! I use skim milk. It also helps with my tummy troubles. I have a history of ulcers, and milk helps to keep my tummy settled. I haven't had any trouble with doing this, but it is not technically "on plan". I am not telling you to do it, I am just saying I have done it with no trouble!
