addicted to milk??!?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to drink at least a litre a day when I was living back in Ireland, but I can't drink it here in France because it doesn't taste the same

Have you ever tried Lättmjölk?

You're only focusing on half of it (and frankly, I don't believe that you're getting high or intoxicated from drinking milk). - If you don't also go into DTs when you abstain from milk, then you're not addicted to it.

haha Im in the same boat as the TC. Although I switched it to skim milk a few years back to lower my fat intake. Now I drink about .75 gallons of skim every day. I dont think i could live without its calming effect or great taste...

Why do you assume you need to get high or intoxicated from something to be addicted? I fail to see your logic there. And I already said in the original post that I had withdrawal symptoms similar to the ones I get from cigarettes. You also fail to realize that there is more then 1 type of addiction. It's not always about physical addiction. Of course, I also discussed this in my original post which you apparently didn't read.

I looked at the wiki, but I'm not sure what Lättmjölk is. I don't know if the nuitritional labels are different here, I never checked. I have a feeling it's the grass they eat that's different. There's no grass greener than we have at home

Your desire for milk is purely psychological. That is a habit, not an addiction.

I think you might be wrong. I'm going to have to agree with the people who posted previous to you. I thought it was strange that my cravings for milk didn't go away until a good 20-45 minutes after drinking the milk. If it was purely psychological, that wouldn't make any sense.

Quite so. I eat one, sometimes two bowls of cornflakes full to the rim with milk, as well as drinking milk in school.

i'm a milk-o-holic!

several liters a day! and cheese.... hmmmmmm .... cheese!

a2 milk creates no opiates

normal a1 milk does and it can be very damaging worsening symptoms of asd

As a child i was also a huge milk drinker. It was usually always me who drank all the milk packages empty. Even today i like milk a lot. I could drink it like mad. My favorite drink is milk!

lol I have a similar theory
and yes I always feel like I want to eat milk products but I'm trying not to eat too much because it can easly give me some breakouts

It is definitely possible to have food addictions. I don't drink cow's milk currently, but when I did I could easily drink a gallon a day if I didn't restrain myself...especially if it was vitamin D or 2% milk. I would:
-get on a vitamin D supplement as others have suggested (make sure it's the proper amount as too much is lethal-going outside in the sun gives you vit D too)
-make sure you are eating enough. Milk is so rich that it's almost like having a small meal or replacing food, so maybe eat a snack instead of drinking it.
-try replacing it with a different kind of milk. I'll admit that soy/rice/almond/oat/whatever milk doesn't taste as good (to me anyway), but it IS an alternative. Goat's milk is reeaally good, but it's just as high calorie and fat I believe, and more expensive.

i have that too.
i probably drink much more milk than i should.
i drink it with just about every meal. & with snacks. & just when i'm thirsty.
2 gallons of milk only really only lasts me about a few days.
Although when i'm eating a big bag of Tim's Cascade Style Jalapeno Chips, i can probably go through in excess of a gallon a day, because they're my favorite snack & really good with milk .
I should probably try to drink more water instead. I'm concerned drinking so much milk might be having adverse effects on my health. Like it's fat/cholesterol content.

Wow, I can't believe all the replies. Anyone who knows me knows how much I like milk. I used to think I was addicted to it. It's all I would drink, 2% milk, half a litre at a time. I've since kicked the habit and only drink water now. Lost a lot of weight by cutting milk calories out of my diet.
