How many of you eat breads and milk as part of your daily nutrition plan? A lot of people seem to shy away from these two food products. On the other hand, some of the best bodybuilders I know eat a ton of sandwiches and drink a gallon of milk a day. Like with most things, this topic seems to present a vast spectrum of views.
Please share yours.

I don't feel the need to cut out or eliminate bread or milk. It seems as if the bodybuilding population seems to be refraining from foods that are nutritious just because of some voodoo nutrition myths that don't hold any truth. I can understand people eliminating bread and replacing it with more wholesome carbohydrates such as yams or oatmeal due to the corn syrup and trans fat, but milk is another story. I just don't see why people think milk is bad for them. I understand it makes some people bloated, but for people who don't suffer from lactose intollerance, I don't see why they avoid it. Milk has a pretty darn nice amino acid profile, is rich in Calcium and Vitamin D, contains insulinogenic properties that can be implemented in the post-workout time periods, and tastes great with some natty pb
If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way.

IMO as long as you are eating quality bread(no HFCS, whole grain/wheat, etc) then it can be part of a healthy BB diet. Same goes with milk, just drink skim milk.My Training Journal...

I am lactose intolerant and I have not bought bread in a long time, It does not satisfy me I guess as much as sweet potatoes,oats, beans, and veggies, etc. NO problem with it just don';t ever think to buy any

I'd be very surprised if Hood Carb Countdown milk goes off the market. As it is now, I'm going to Super Wal-Mart every couple weeks and buying, like, 10 cartons of the stuff because it flies off the shelf so quickly, they can't even keep it in the store. (And, no, it's not just because I shop there. LOL)
As for breads... Has anyone ever tried Soft Oatmeal Bread by Pepperidge Farms? The slices are so heavy and moist, they're almost wet. Best damn stuff I ever had.

No bread here - my body tolerates unprocessed carbs best. Milk, I'm lactose intolerant, but I get Lactaid and use it post workout for its anti-catabolic/insulinogenic properties.

The human body used to not produce the enzyme that breaks down lactose after about age 5. Over the last few thousand years we've changed that around because of agricultural and pastoral diets. Now many of us can digest it a lot easier....but since it's so recent, many people can't. Even if you can digest it pretty well, the human body isn't that especially well adapted to drinking the milk of another animal. That would explain why lactose is the bottom of the barrel over fructose and others.
