Ok I have two questions........Do you need to take in a certain amount of calories for continued weight loss? I am 3 weeks out today and haven't lost in about 5 days, in fact I've gained. Figured I've been getting around 400-500 calories a day. My second question is.....Is it ok to mix the protein powder with milk or does it make you take in too many carbs and calories? Thanks for your input!

Type "week 3 stall" into the search box in the top right-hand corner. You will have a better idea of why you're not losing right now........

As for milk, there are many different opinions. For myself, I prefer not to have the carbs from milk in my diet as a beverage. I drink coconut milk and almond milk (both unsweeneted). There's not much taste to them, but it does a good job of substituting for milk, and they are both low calorie and low carb. Protein powders mixed well for me with both coconut and almond milk when I was using powders (I drink ready to drink (RTD) shakes now, or eat protein bars).

I still eat many dairy products (yum.....cheese and yogurt), so it's not milk that I'm avoiding, as much as the carbs in regular milk (whether it's skim, 1%, 2% or whole).

i use over the moon milk...it's 11gp for a cup

I use the milk to increase protien and I like the taste.

My doctor said fat free milk... And I've used it since day one! 72 lbs down and 12weeks!!! They even say drinking milk is proven for weight lose
