My broe. Drink full fat and give it to your baby. For the amounts you consume is not critical.

and

The amounts you consume that make you fat are other things. Not milk.

Any dietitian who knows their shyte will tell you it has nothing to to with how little fat/sugar/etc something has. It is about the total amount of calories you consume.

Got it. Thx all. Have decided will stick to the full cream stuff, and try and make a plan elsewhere in my diet

I have full cream milk and cream whenever I want, makes tea taste so much better. But I don't each much carbs, and mostly will only eat them over the weekend.

Don't skip breakfast if you're trying to lose weight.

Stupid advice is stupid. Skipping a meal can actually be a fantastic way to lose weight. Provided you do not attempt to "Make up for it" in your other meals. The effect of small fasting on your body can be really effective. Breakfast is also the easiest one to skip for many people. I am certainly one of them.

Kids need full cream / full fat everything until they are in their teens - this is from a Pediatrician.
If you would like to lose weight, read through the weight loss thread 2014. Cut the carbs and sugar and go wild on fatty REAL food. The weight will fall off.

And whatever you do, ignore the whole calories in, calories out thing - it is BS. SUGAR makes humans fat!

Full cream - low fat and fat free are a marketing gimmick, you're better off drinking water.

If you want to lose weight it's simple. Go get checked up to see how many calories you would have to consume to maintain your current weight and then just eat less than that amount each day.

The reason skipping meals doesn't work is that it trains your metabolism to slow down because it expects less food at certain times. If you skip breakfast constantly your body learns that it gets no food in the morning so if you have breakfast only from time to time you will put on weight. You also need to eat meals that make your metabolism work the hardest. This works with stuff like eating some nuts and a piece of fruit so that it has to work hard to process the 2 different kinds of food.

Also you would be amazed how little protein most people eat compared to the recommended intake for your weight/exercise level.

Most of what you just wrote is the reason why obesity rates have skyrocketed since the 50's....

Just plain wrong. There is nothing wrong with skipping meals, and in fact, when you eat a low carb diet, you find that you are not hungry as often because of the interaction between blood sugar levels and hunger. That whole eat 6 small meals throughout the day thing was perpetuated by people that were making uneducated guesses at **** that they weren't actually in a position to guess about. But it sounded good so it must be true.
I used to be one of the people that thought this way, because like many others out there I mistakenly linked my hunger levels with my metabolism.

If you eat the right meal, you can easily live on one meal per day, and perform at a high physical and mental level. Without feeling hunger at any point. What most people mistake for real hunger, is actually blood sugar levels and your body's addiction to sugars. Get over that and you will find that hunger doesn't creep up on you every 3 hours consistently.

I often go until 1pm without a single meal. I am not even hungry at that point, I just eat because it makes more logistical sense to split my meals into at least two. If I lived alone I might stick to one, but family meals means that I must try to split my calorie intake.

I'm glad to see how well read people on MyBB are on this topic, challenging conventional wisdom. Keep it up

There is no such thing as increasing your metabolism by eating many smaller meals per day. That's not how your metabolism works. That is an old wife's tale perpetuated by people, including so called nutritionists and even some doctors, and it's about as false as stating that loweing one's calorie intake will result in weight loss. Again, that's also hardly the full picture. You can eat the same calories in charcoal (very high calorific count) and bread and the resultant weight differences will be easily observable. What's more important is the metabolic impact of the specific food you're ingesting...

Not all calories are equal. I'll let Peter Attia explain: http://eatingacademy.com/nutrition/do-calories-matter
