My folks were kids during the Great Depression. Because of that they felt it was important that our family had a milk cow. That cow provided our 7 member family with milk and butter. The cow also provided us with meat. Every year the cow had a calf. Our cow gave so much milk we bought a second calf from a local dairy. So this cow fed a family of 7, two calves and we also sold gallons of milk to 2 additional families. We did not pasteurize our milk. Our cow’s milk was consistently tested and was always good. We made cottage cheese sometimes but not consistently. There was 3 or 4 inches of cream on every gallon of milk. We only skimmed cream off when we needed to make butter. I really don’t know why I felt the need to tell anyone this except to say there are healthy ways to consume milk products. Our family cow was a significant contributor to the health and well being of 3 families. When my folks were broke we never went hungry directly related to owning a milk cow.
That was a very smart decision on your parents part! Creating healthy kids and fond memories. And keeping a resource for lean times. I have a pretty big backyard. You make me want to get a cow. We're not zoned for that so that's not going to happen. LOL.
My dad grew up on a dairy farm so was used to milk straight from the source. When I was growing up he would never ever drink any milk from the grocery store, he said it tastes like "sugar water"!!
I love milk, yogurt, cheese and whey. My grandmother lived to 102 and drank milk daily. I was raised on it and going strong at 66 years old! Thank you for clarifying.
My 45 year old son was even a chronic vomiter from my breast milk. He would bring up curdled milk after every 2 hourly feed, till I gave up after 6 months trying, he was underweight till I gave him food to eat. Vegetables and bone broth , now he thrives without any dairy, but has goats cheese. Shame the doctors told me human babies are not allergic to human milk! He was. Thank you for all your valuable videos, I love your channel, you are very honest. From Perth West Australia.
I eat several ounces of cheese (the high-quality French stuff) every morning, and I eat it with ... butter. This combo is delicious, full of nutrients, extremely filling - and you don't get constipated. With all this fat, I end up eating a lot less of everything else and I'm losing weight without even trying.
North American here. First trip to France, was served cheese sandwich on buttered bread. It was a new and delicious experience that I've remembered fondly all these years later!
Breastmilk content is also adjusted daily by the mothers system based on the content of the babies saliva that is absorbed and used by the body to recalibrate breast milk's content...it is always exactly what the baby needs!!
Barb Drake I remember as well, but don't remember it was as much as 2" - maybe you were smaller then :-) But we had to bring it in fairly quickly or the blackbirds (or was it crows?) would peck a hole in the bottle-tops and drink the cream. Too bad it's mostly homogenised now...
@@carnivoregrandma1005 I grew up in New Jersey, USA. I remember the glass bottles with the cream on top. We had to wash the empty bottles and put them out in our insulated milk box the night before, and milk would be delivered the next morning.
The most reasonable discussion of dairy I've yet seen. One consideration: Beware of emulsifiers such as Carrageenan. They apparently can emulsify your mucus layer. Some people think they are allergic or sensitive to dairy, when it's actually the additives added in that are causing problems.
I know that in the States it is difficult to find pure cream. Here, I can get just cream in the market. I have to buy it because it takes forever for the cream in goat/sheep milk to separate. I still check the label every time I buy the cream, though, because you never know when the manufacturer is going to start using junk.
Thank you for this insight about carrageenan gum. I cannot tolerate guar gum... it causes digestive issues and I had no idea why. All these gum additives are probably causing digestive issues even if on a more subtle level. I am disgusted that Horizon Organic started adding gum to their heavy cream. It has made the product lumpy and gross.
We're lucky enough to have raw milk available to us from our local milking parlour. It's even better because we need a ten minute walk to collect it. It's provided in glass bottles which can be taken back to be cleaned and re-used. Thanks for this video. Answered a lot of questions.
At last a doctor confirms what my gut (no pun intended) feeling had been saying all my life! I grew up on (South African) milk (2 to 4 cups full cream/day every day, long life from Spar) and ALL my blood levels were within normal ranges when I took part in a medical trial at age 43. Always weighed around 65 kg - moved to Canada in 2012 and ended up at 85kg in 2019 but since I started keto, lost 13kg so far. I luv cheese and eggs too. And ALL my blood levels are still fine! And, I weaned my babies at age 6 months from breast to cow's milk, and they have never been sick either. The rubbish that's in formula! Baie dankie en groete!
@@EriPages 1,7m (I think that's 5'7) and 0.74 ratio. Nice thing is, Canada's milk is hormone and antibiotic free! The land of milk and maple syrup haha. Oh, we now have 5, 10 and 11% plain unsweetened Greek Yoghurt here, too! I mix it up with frozen blueberries - yum yum. And I use butter, never margarine. In my 60's now and all my bloodworks are normal :)
I'm old enough to remember the five pound blocks of government cheddar cheese given away free during the Reagan admin. We ate nachos with cheese for days....
I am scrupulously clean when it comes to milking my goats/sheep. Teats are cleaned before and after. Hands are super clean. Buckets are sterilized. Milk is strained and refrigerated straight away. No pasteurization because most is used for making cheese. I usually don't drink the excess milk because I don't like the taste of any milk. My neighbors love it though.
Man has survived thru centuries doing it this way. When you boil it (Pasteurization ), you kill all the good bacteria ! Long life milk is dead ( UHT stands for ultra high temperature), and it's the one that supermarkets want us to drink because they can ship it all over the world and store it for a year or so. They save money on refrigeration, and therefore are following the plan of Agenda 21 ( which is no refrigeration in shops, because they can't be run on solar ). This means no fresh meat / dairy products / frozen vegetables or prepare meals, and no fresh juices ( only the shelf ones that are also boiled to the shit house ). Well be living on a few choices of canned foods and Gmo vegetables.... just like they're doing now in Cuba !
I milk my housecow each morning, make cream, butter and cheese (hubs isn't keto so uses it in coffee). Always raw. Please note pasteurization alters protein/calcium matrix to the extent that you have to add extra calcium to the milk to get cheese curd to set properly.
Cassie Oz what is a housecow? as a kid I had Jersey and Gernsy milk 8 years. Then I went off to college and then get married. After I left the farm except for a short period of time about 7 yrs ago where I tried raw milk but location too far, had the store bought stuff. I’ve since learned there is the A1 casine ( Holstein cow which is store milk) and A2 casine which is from a cow like our Jersey. People who have problems with the A1 can sometimes drink A2 milk without any problems. The same goes for eating wheat product in Italy but then coming back to the states in those with gluten issues can’t eat bread and wheat products in the states. Because here we have hybridized wheat and over there they don’t
@@digimom82 housecow us just the general name for a cow milked for home use (ie not a 'herd' cow). I milk a Jersey and an Australian Illawarra Shorthorn girl. The A1/A2 thing is contentious. Some studies have suggested that if folks don't know what milk they're drinking, the symptoms are inconsistent. There are two genes for the 'A' proteins in milk and all cows express A2 proteins. Most holsteins are A1A2 and so are a lot of Jerseys. SOME Jersey's are A2A2 so the cow must be tested to confirm. The benefit comes from the absence if A1, not the presence of A2. Hybridised wheat is ubiquitous since about 1965 and the durum wheat used in pasta is a high protein (ie high gluten) wheat.
@@jackimoya Dairy practices vary enormously so SOME but not all commercial dairy cows. Some ethical dairies raise the calf with the cows. Of course the calf's fate depends on whether it's male or female. In my area male calves are castrated (intact dairy bulls are very aggressive) and sold as 'lawn mowers' to smallholders to raise as beef (not commercially viable as beef because of low yield). I dont understand what you mean by 'forced to be pregnant'. Cows with a herd bull will be pregnant again 1-3 months after calving (ie every year). This is the natural breeding cycle of cattle.
One thing you’ve missed off is kefir. I make homemade kefir with raw A2 grass fed full fat milk. I double ferment each batch over two days. I then semi freeze the kefir with some blackberries and sometimes strawberries with chia seeds before eating. This has incredible benefits. You get all the good fats, the sugars have been eaten away by the bacteria, it’s a probiotic and is an excellent source of vitamins including B12. You can also add a little bit of green stevia or monk fruit of the taste is a bit too sour. It’s superb.
I love homemade kefir.. However.. there are still ~12g of carbs per cup. Where do those carbs come from. SUGAR. True, some is converted during the ferment.. but not all.. at least from what I can understand from nutritional info on it.
@@idostuff-nf9pc not sure where you get 12g of carbs from.. Maybe in a store kefir. The bacteria eat the carbs. Some may still exist, but 12g / cup... I'm not so sure. But if in doubt, don't eat it.
@@paulg687 Thanks Paul.. no, I make my own. I'm just looking at all the nutritional facts on kefir.. they all seem to say essentially the same for kefir.
@idostuff-nf9pc if you do a double ferment there won't be much sugar in there. It gets pretty tart. I wouldn't worry about sugar. I.can see why people.want to reduce as much sugar as possible because their diets are high in sugar. But a small amounts not going to hurt.
Cabot makes a whole milk plain Greek yogurt with 10% milkfat and their products are sold at my local Walmart. You can go to their website, pick that product and see if it's sold near you.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, eating and drinking dairy straight from the farmer has given me such a great advantages. Reduced the intake of milk ( almost none) but still going for hard and good cheeses. Boogie
Love milk and all dairy but had been barely managing on 80 mg of Nexium a day for stomach burning and pain. Had given up wheat, corn and soy years ago but never could get off acid suppressing meds even though I tried weaning down for months each time (and trying Pepcid and other drugs, to no avail). After an endoscopy the dr. said I had autoimmune gastritis. I don't know what it was but I got off all dairy. I was desperate for relief from gastric pain. Within 2 weeks I was off Nexium and acid suppressing meds. What a HUGE relief. I miss my dairy but I don't miss the pain and the damage long-term Nexium use was doing to me.
Do you consume alcohol? Most of my friends(we're in our 40's) who have dairy issues consumed alcohol for years before having dairy issues. They still drink alcohol though.
I believe Trader Joes used to have really good whole milk yogurt. But haven't checked recently. Your explanation about dairy has FINALLY cleared up the craziness for me! You didn't mention cottage cheese. But I SUSPECT it has the effect of making me feel "high" as you mentioned. Wish you had explained the mechanism of why it causes constipation? Great video!
I absolutely love dairy and eat a lot. Not milk, though. Can't eat fatty meats or sugary anything as they make me nauseous. Trying to figure out healthiest way to get my protein from dairy and stay healthy. I recently discovered Skyr yogurt, 27g of protein.
I’m from 🇬🇧 and consume the following dairy products: Kefir (unsweetened) Full fat 🧀 (Stilton, Gorgonzola, Dolcelatte, Parmesan, Brie, Goats cheese, Feta, Halloumi, cream cheese, occasionally mozzarella, ricotta, marscapone and extra mature cheddars) Full fat Greek yoghurt (unsweetened) Extra thick double cream Sour cream (cooking only) I find normal cows milk gives me runny stools and upset stomach and so I avoid it.
Wisconsin doesn’t understand the meaning of no cheese 🤣 I love it!! We were there and asked for something without cheese and I think they added double 😆
I've been binge watching your vids doc. Have an appointment with you in June of 2024 (I came to realize quickly you're an internet sensation and there's a ton of demand for a consult) and very much looking forward to it. I'm 6'3, 203 lbs., lean & muscular and physically active. 49 years old. I've been consuming a glass of non-pasteurized milk almost every day and I put non-pasteurized cream in my morning coffee for about a month now. Always from the same source that a friend of mine introduced me to where she's been getting hers for over a year now. She's never gotten sick from it and to date neither have I. It's a part of one of my 2 daily meals and always at the end of consuming my meat and light serving of veggies. Delicious and that final touch for satiety.
The idea that removing cream from milk is healthier, stems from the fact that you can then sell that cream at even higher profit. What is worse than adding cane sugar is adding high fructose corn syrup - the American standard for all food products, it seems.
I found a couple of quality yogurts at Whole Foods that are full fat, organic, grassfed products. I also use heavy whipping cream, and other full fat, organic dairy including butter, from Kalona. Great products. The Cornucopia Institute (access online) has a dairy scorecard that ranks many farms around the country using a wide range of criteria that can be used to help find quality and humanely raised dairy products. Most conventional grocery stores don't carry quality dairy.
I'm glad you found full-fat yogurt. For the longest time it was mostly low-fat and non-fat. Especially snack sized cups. Fat is trying to make a comeback.
I have avoided milk since I got Covid last year. I was already lactose intolerant past a certain point (forget drinking a big glass of milk unless I want to be a blimp), but since covid I can't even have enough milk to eat with cereal. Now that I'm a ketogenarian 😉 I have heavy cream and cheeses, but I avoid milk. And for the first time in my life, I'm not plagued by gas half the day. I also have less pain. I have fibromyalgia, but now my baseline pain is gone. I still have pain, but it comes and goes instead of sticking around the whole day like before. I've been on a ketogenic diet for a month now, and I've lost five pounds. Sometimes I'm tempted to have carbs, but I know the pain will come back and it's just not worth it.
Hey Doc, I've significantly reduced carbs even before seeing your videos, but started a keto diet / lifestyle about a week ago and I'm feeling pretty good. It's easy to get 14-16 hours without even thinking of food when the fat is adjusted correctly. Just wanted to say you are making a real and important change in people! Thank you!
Just such smart advice. By the way, Dr Cywes: look for Brown Cow Plain Cream on the top yogurt. Take a hand mixer w only 1 beater in it and blend thoroughly once opened. It will be and stay a super silky, fluid texture. This is as close to a good European Bulgarian-style yogurt as I have found.
I eat about 4 ounces of cheese with every meal , twice a day. I have gotten into the habit of shopping at whole foods and trader Joe's, alot higher quality stuff than you get at Walmart or kroger
Kroger is the only higher quality store for us here; I can't stand much of what Wally sells in the food section, and prefer Kroger or Aldi. Mid MO isn't a place full of health foods stores, nor good places to get quality foods in any way, shape or form, I'm finding.
I am happy to have found this video to share with my husband who shared a couple others by Doc Rob. We are fortunate to have a local dairy, cows are all grass-fed, babies get their milk first and the cows are only milked once a day. The milk I buy from them is raw, full fat with a thick layer of cream on the top. Their yogurt is made with this same milk and has a thick layer of cream I have to stir into the yogurt. Zero sugar added, nothing extra added except the necessary cultures. I sometimes make my own yogurt using beef gelatin from this raw milk so I do not have to pasteurize it at all and it sets up nice and thick. I am not a milk drinker but hubby is so I make sure he has this. I do buy a low-temp pasteurized A2/A2 milk, full fat out of southern CO for my hot mocha again with a thick layer of cream on the top. I also use their A2/A2 heavy cream when I make butter chicken.
You are drinking milk the healthiest way possible. GcMAF is found in raw milk, and it's a natural wonder cure... if you've never heard of it, look at this. Then you'll understand why they don't want us to drink it... because it strengthens our immune system, and wards off many common ailments..even cancer and autism ! ua-cam.com/channels/vxSt2uSsF84eI5tHl64Jjg.html

Hi Dr cywes, so glad I found you again. OMG, 12 years ago you changed my life and I see in this space were going to help me make some updates and adjustment.
I'm type 2 diabetic and have cut carbs to around 100g a day and upped healthy fats and protein, I love homemade rice pudding with 2 to 3 tablespoons of thick double cream,I add seeds and cinnamon, it's delicious and doesn't spike my blood glucose.
It's worth pointing out that human genetic adaptation to allow lactase production to digest milk lactose as adults has occurred several times, independently of each other. That's indicative of strong evolutionary pressure. It shows that dairy was important for survival to our ancestors. Also, if someone ceases all dairy for a significant amount of time (varies, according to the person), maybe for a year or more, then the body will cease to produce lactase - permanently. In order to continue to produce lactase as adults, the stimulus of ingesting at least some lactose is needed. This has been known for decades, but among keto guys, it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.
Making your own yogurt is the way to go, it is so easy, even I can do it! Full fat, zero sugar, great taste. I use a probiotic that includes l. Ruteri as a starter.
@@barbaraholzmann946 1) It's really easy 2)There are many ways and you can adjust how you do it to suit your tools/circumstances. 3) UA-cam has lots of videos to give you ideas 4) I base my recipe on this... www.wheatbellyblog.com/2019/07/how-to-make-l-reuteri-yogurt-step-by-step/
If you want yogurt in the US, "Two Good" is a great pick. 2 carbs listed. Sweetened with erythritol. Nowhere near as sweet as regular yogurt, but it's relatively thick, and It hits a real spot for me.
I am sensitive to A1 casein & only recently discovered I could find A2 milk at Whole Foods, but A2 yogurt is not available. I have been eating goats milk kefir instead, however, and find it preferable anyway. It's not only safe for those w an A1 casein allergy, but due to the fact that it comes out of the goat naturally homogenous, the fat can't be skimmed off, so it is always full fat. There is also no sugar added, so it is not sweet at all, & only has 10 total carbs per cup, so doesn't trigger cravings in me, whereas goat cheeses do, for some reason. So it's a great substitute for cows milk yogurt, IMHO. .
@@cherylh4688 I recently found A2 unsweetened organic yogurt at Costco! The brand is called Bellwether Farms. It has only 5g carbs per 3/4 cup, too! Not sure if all the Costco's carry it, but I found it here in Southern CA Costco.
@christinelamb1167 Thank you so much for sharing that, Christine, but actually, altho' I haven't seen it at my Costco in NC yet (or that brand either), A2 yogurt has been available at my local Whole Foods now for some time, and it's even from 100% grass-fed cows! I don't remember when it arrived, but my first comment on here was written 2 yrs ago, so it was sometime in the last 2 yrs. Also, A2 half&half has also been available for quite a while and even A2 sour cream showed up recently at a Sprouts near me! So little by little, it seems to be finding its way here, which I am thrilled about! What I'm really waiting for, however, is cream and cream cheese, which have both been available in California for a long time because the grass-fed brand (Alexandra, I think) is located there. But I'm very encouraged by what has become available so far, and now even more after reading that it is even showing up in Costco! So thank you again for letting me know; that is indeed good news!
@@cherylh4688 I'm so glad to hear you've been able to find A2 yogurt and other A2 dairy readily availiable where you are! It is very encouraging that these foods are becoming easier to find (at least in some larger cities). I recently became a member of Costco. Since starting keto I have been happy to be able to find so many foods I can buy in bulk that are good for my keto diet. I'm saving a lot of money on meat and dairy, for sure!
Loved this. Part of the biggest issue I see in the US is that we use the wrong cow for milking here. Frankly, we use goat milk at our home. We can get raw and or whole milk that has been lightly pasteurized. No sugars added to our dairy. 😊
What’s bizarre is that I JUST started eating a small amount of Greek yogurt and somehow..it actually IMPROVED my gastritis and gastroparesis and actually made me more regular with less heartburn and diarrhea! I don’t know if it’s the amounts of probiotics in it but it’s working and I’ll stick with a little at a time!😮
There are a number of good yogurt brands available in the US if you look for them--Fage, Wallaby, Siggis, Skyr, Nancy's... and more. But a lot of them are produced out of the country. You can also easily make your own, especially with an Instant Pot with whole milk and 2 T of plain yogurt per gallon of milk. You can also make ice cream and not put any sweeteners in (or if it works for you, honey or 100% maple).
I'm in the USA & we can easily buy "whole" milk plain yogurt and whole milk low-temp pasteurized non-homogenized grass fed cow milk, so I make my own yogurt with the glass bottled milk. The milk is about $11/gallon so we don't get as much milk as we used to and I have the homemade yogurt with keto toppings or occasionally raw honey from my bees & cinnamon. Keto granola with the dried strawberries was amazing as a mug of "cereal" and yogurt topping.
I enjoyed making full cream raw milk kefir with live kefir grains. The microbes of the kefir grains consume lactose for their nutrients, sigificantly reducing the lactose content. Ive learned to enjoy it plain, adding a few Tablespoons of chia seeds per quart to sit for a few hours or overnight. The acidic medium neutralizes the lectins in the chia seeds as well. Lovely.
I like "Half & Half" instead of whole milk in my coffee. And real Greek yogurt - lots of protein and fat. Helped me overcome insulin resistance, along with replacing Weetabix and with eggs/cheese cooked in butter every morning.
Similar to the decision of whether a person should get the Covid jab or not, is the point of making a science based decision as opposed to a fear based decision. Better to have the facts than to linger in doubt and take the wrong decision.
Dividing nutrition from hydration is positively genius. I would just feel so dried up at night first thing I grab is milk I hadn't noticed how much of it I can drink, my goshness. I used to go for water more but it keeps feeling like I need something that milk has, maybe the thickness to feel better or something and then I got a kid (the kids a boy) I think he takes it in too but I had been kind of winded yesterday and I just needed to get back home asap I did experience nausea. I think I don't eat much of fruits or meats and I don't do a lot of grains either. Just like fruits don't fill and veggies really don't. Meat, nuts those are more filling for me than anything else. I just like milk though especially whole milk.
I eat plain yogurt here in the u.s. but you cannot get it from the "regular" markets. Whole foods, trader joes, and aldi sells plain organic whole milk yogurt with no added anything. the price is great, its cheaper than the sugary yogurts. you can get the big container for around 3.99usd. I never enjoyed yogurt, always thought milk products smelled, but i make sure to have some because i cannot digest veggies without!!!! I enjoy my broccoli and beans but if i don't have plain yogurt the veggies will produce gas and discomfort.
We have more than one brand of whole milk, no sugar added yogurt at my local grocery store here in the US. Most of it is as you described, but it's not as if it not available everywhere. Even Walmart carries, no sugar added, whole milk yogurt. Are the milk fat percentages different for full fat and double fat yogurt?
I have a reaction where I get sinus issues with post nasal drip and then I get chronic sinus infections. I only discovered this when I went vegan. I finally changed over to Keto and then started adding some cheese back into my diet and my sinuses were affected again so I obviously have a reaction to it. I never went back to milk or cream and stuck with almond milk in my coffee. I’ve heard other people have sinus issues as well from dairy.
That provided a lot of clarity. I drink a little full cream milk in my coffee (about 3 cups a day). I eat cheese, especially Feta in salads. Full fat plain yoghurt perhaps once a week. I mix the flesh of one passion fruit into the yoghurt to give it a nice tangy taste.
For me its Full Cream, Butter for cooking/frying and Cheeses that are low in carbs.Skim milk is essentially a coke with 10gm of sugars per 100ml not much better than coke other than possibly some vitamins/minerals if they're not stolen as well...Lost nearly 40kg since beginning of the year had a plateau for sometime and cutting back on dairy has helped. Cant do black coffee though.....
I'm in the States (Texas, specifically). I'm eating unsweetened, full-fat yogurt (whole milk & cultures, that's it,) as I am watching this. Perhaps other parts of the country are different, but I have no problem finding a few different brands of unsweetened, full-fat yogurt.
Really interesting. First time watching. I started going Keto phasing in from January and strict (trying to) from about March. I struggled with terrible carb addiction. I find like the addiction never really goes so I find for myself that it is so true that I have to avoid triggering it. I have been doing well but couldn't get a proper answer about milk. I think I get why I am struggling with it. I only allowed myself one cup of coffee late afternoon with milk. With my carb addiction problems (cravings) it is probably best to avoid milk then. This was an answer for me
I love Fairlife whole milk. It is lower carb, like 6 compared to 11 or 12. I dont drink a lot of it, but when i really want a bit of milk, that's my go to.
I have a very bad relationship with milk: lactose intolerance every time I have some since childhood; I stick to cheese, cream and yoghurt and I love it!
I always wake up stuffy if I have any dairy the night before. I only ever wake up with clear nasal passages if I ate zero-carb, carnivore the day before.
I love my yogurt, but since I'm in the US and can't find full fat non sweetened yogurt, I make a point to stir in a large glug of heavy whipping cream each time I have it. Makes it taste a lot better too!
I have 100% found the opposite to be true with myself and nearly every single one of my keto and carnivore clients. Butter is the only dairy the majority of people can have without an insulin response Myself and many of my clients wear a CGM
@@maximiliankuhn4531 also - what kind of diary do you consume? Most of the cheeses and milk product in the US I encountered are far from being just that. Do you have access to low processed diary?
In America you can get full fat yogurt. It's called Ratio KETO friendly and it has 15g fat, 2g carbs, 1g sugar and 15g protein. It's very good but use in moderation.
Just omitted dairy from my keto life. I hadn't noticed how cheese,yoghurt and milk heavy my diet had become.(Because Im oxalate sensitive.) Leaning harder into meat and token low carb vegies and activated nuts. Going to experiment with hemp protein to make muffins and shakes and occasional yummies. Macadamia nut milk for coffee is bloody awesome. thank god!
Thank you 😊 I have a hard time getting my fat in if I try to move away from dairy. I use 33% sour cream, butter, cheese and whipping cream to get my fat in on carnivore. 4.5 months carnivore after a year of low carb high fat to keto. I know everyone recommends suet or duck fat, but that’s not readily available or in my budget. As for milk, I can’t drink regular skim of any sort. But I have discovered that I can thin out whipping cream to satisfy the craving for milk. I use ¼ cup whipping cream in a 2 cup glass and top it with tap water. Sometimes if I'm craving something sweet I add some stevia and vanilla.
Dairy is my crutch on keto as I lean towards carnivore and Im sure it is for many. Its the dopamine reaction even when other foods are more nutritionally dense and compensates for the cost. As much as watered down cream is milky, it has zero protein so its simulating an emotional response and heavy on calories for near zero protein. Duck fat has over 10g of fat per tbsp and hwc 5g so cost per fat gram is similar if not better for duck fat. I found if not actively eating the fatty cuts of meat and breaking down my own tallow and chewing on the fatty pieces, I'm always short. I feel I allow myself to do it as Im an addict. I've been at maintenance nearly 2 yrs and feel like dairy has become a bigger part of my life...making cheeses and trying new things but cant help but feel Ive just shifted my addictions :(
@@dana102083 I hear you! That is why I stick pretty much to ribeye and some eggs, a bit of cheese, cream in my coffee, stevia, a bit of avocado, some mayonnaise, water. I find I am happy if I don't look at recipes, or cook shows, or any images of the foods I crave. I don't have them in the house and I don't think about food, other than when I am hungry. Then I get up and I put two ribeye steaks in the air fryer, wait 10 minutes and eat. Have a glass of water and go back to what I was doing. By simplifying to the max what I eat, I reduce the stimulus that creates the craving.
Tina Thevarge Did you try lard? I understand in some places it's hard to get the pure stuff. Where I live (France) it's about the same cost as butter. There is goose fat but it's very expensive, probably like your duck fat. If you're not doing it already, keep the dripping from your cooking. My mum always had some dripping in the fridge ready for use. I tend not to have so much because I usually fry any veggies in it (I'm not carnivore), which gives taste - and fat - to them. My children actually like the veggies done that way :-)
Ekondig G i have tried lard. I have some in my fridge. I just reach for butter and sour cream more. The lard I have locally has a different texture that doesn’t blend well in recipes like butter. 6+ months carnivore now. I do keep drippings from bacon, but it’s not always in the budget either.
dana102083 I have to try to work around my husband who still eats SAD even after watching keto help me for 9 months and carnivore help me more for the last 6. Because he’s not willing to change, there’s not much room in the budget for extra meat or exotic fats for me. So others might have more of a budget to work with to buy more nutrient dense meat. I work on converting my husband to keto fats so that at least he's not eating so much vegetable oils in things like salad dressing and mayonnaise. Maybe one day he’ll drop the belief that you need to have a monstrous bowel movement everyday, but until then, I do what I can with the tiny budget I have.
My husband makes amazing Greek yogurt from whole milk. We live in the US. It's seems that would be okay from your explanation if it's raw and we add cream into it first. Of course it won't be raw after we make the yogurt.
I’m mostly carnivore only for a few months and great improvement in my health. I was already quite thin when I started and losing weight/fat. I did increase my meat/fat intake. I’m wondering if drinking milk on a regular basis would help?
thank you for this video! would you please share your perspective on starting babies on solids and also, feeding small children? off course it goes without saying that processed foods, grains and sugar are out of the question, but what about potatoes, lentils, etc ... that would be so amazing, thank you!
Must admit I love Cornish Clotted Cream (or Jersey) and different types of blue cheese + organic butters, not really into milk per se though I wouldn't run a mile from it. I agree, it is so hard to find yoghurt in shops that are not packed with sugars as well as 0% fat ... awful stuff, certain you used to be able to get full fat and no sugar yoghurts in the UK
I drink black coffee, so giving up milk wasn't a problem for me. I eat authentic Greek yogurt and lots of cheese. You said at the very end not to drink almond milk but didn't explain why. If it's unsweetened what's the problem?
I have had dairy goats for 20 years or more . Goat milk has a reputation for being safe for the lactose intolerant. I think that the thing that gives this impression is that most goat dairies are small and do not have pasturizers thus most goat milk is consumed raw. Cheese is low in lactose because most lactose is drawn off in the whey. Raw milk still has the enzymes that make it the perfect food for baby animals and is thus easier to digest than the denatured product we call milk. It also has probiotics. Raw goat milk is the redily available food that is closest to human brest milk. The saturated fats pass through our gut and don't cause high colesterol .
My folks were kids during the Great Depression. Because of that they felt it was important that our family had a milk cow. That cow provided our 7 member family with milk and butter. The cow also provided us with meat. Every year the cow had a calf. Our cow gave so much milk we bought a second calf from a local dairy. So this cow fed a family of 7, two calves and we also sold gallons of milk to 2 additional families. We did not pasteurize our milk. Our cow’s milk was consistently tested and was always good. We made cottage cheese sometimes but not consistently. There was 3 or 4 inches of cream on every gallon of milk. We only skimmed cream off when we needed to make butter. I really don’t know why I felt the need to tell anyone this except to say there are healthy ways to consume milk products. Our family cow was a significant contributor to the health and well being of 3 families. When my folks were broke we never went hungry directly related to owning a milk cow.
I would have loved to be a part of your family!
Nice 💕😚👌
@@pique-nique That's an odd thing to say to a complete stranger.
@@exwifeschewtoy5516 chill man
That was a very smart decision on your parents part! Creating healthy kids and fond memories. And keeping a resource for lean times. I have a pretty big backyard. You make me want to get a cow. We're not zoned for that so that's not going to happen. LOL.
My dad grew up on a dairy farm so was used to milk straight from the source. When I was growing up he would never ever drink any milk from the grocery store, he said it tastes like "sugar water"!!
I love milk, yogurt, cheese and whey. My grandmother lived to 102 and drank milk daily. I was raised on it and going strong at 66 years old! Thank you for clarifying.
😂
My 45 year old son was even a chronic vomiter from my breast milk. He would bring up curdled milk after every 2 hourly feed, till I gave up after 6 months trying, he was underweight till I gave him food to eat. Vegetables and bone broth , now he thrives without any dairy, but has goats cheese. Shame the doctors told me human babies are not allergic to human milk! He was. Thank you for all your valuable videos, I love your channel, you are very honest. From Perth West Australia.
No confusion, totally agree with everything you say. Your delivery is plain, simple and brilliant, very well laid out.
I eat several ounces of cheese (the high-quality French stuff) every morning, and I eat it with ... butter. This combo is delicious, full of nutrients, extremely filling - and you don't get constipated. With all this fat, I end up eating a lot less of everything else and I'm losing weight without even trying.
Anima Libera sounds amazing!
I tried butter on cheddar. Wow! Who knew it would taste so good!
I think I'll try that! sounds delish
Where do you get high-quality French cheese?
North American here. First trip to France, was served cheese sandwich on buttered bread. It was a new and delicious experience that I've remembered fondly all these years later!
I love the Gentleman, he says everything I want to hear ! 😊
I'm a milk drinking carnavore!
~ I use heavy cream in my coffee ... '☕😘👌
same here - no milk in my diet, just HWC. Rarely, I may have zero sugar yogurt, but restore fat by adding HWC.
@judymiller5154 ~ Coconut cream is nice, too 👌
And so what? ..u drink coffee to get high....its addictive...u r addicted ..coffee is not good for anyone ..its not a food its a drug!
Opinions! U know what they say about opinions...everybody has one !
Milk is for babies only !
Cabots Greek yogurt has 10% fat! Thick as frozen ice cream! Tastes great!
I love Greek yoghurt❤
Breastmilk content is also adjusted daily by the mothers system based on the content of the babies saliva that is absorbed and used by the body to recalibrate breast milk's content...it is always exactly what the baby needs!!
I remember the milkman delivering glass bottles of milk and there was a 2 inch layer of cream on the top 😍 Am I showing my age 😂 🇬🇧
We lived in Banbury, England for a year back in 1987 and waiting on that milk was one of my fave things! It was delish!
My dad was a milkman in England. I grew up hating the stuff! Don’t think the fridge collection of slightly gone sour milk helped!! 😆
Barb Drake I remember as well, but don't remember it was as much as 2" - maybe you were smaller then :-) But we had to bring it in fairly quickly or the blackbirds (or was it crows?) would peck a hole in the bottle-tops and drink the cream. Too bad it's mostly homogenised now...
@@carnivoregrandma1005 I grew up in New Jersey, USA. I remember the glass bottles with the cream on top. We had to wash the empty bottles and put them out in our insulated milk box the night before, and milk would be delivered the next morning.
Im old to, do you remember free milk at school, loved that
The most reasonable discussion of dairy
I've yet seen. One consideration: Beware
of emulsifiers such as Carrageenan. They
apparently can emulsify your mucus layer.
Some people think they are allergic or
sensitive to dairy, when it's actually the
additives added in that are causing problems.
Good point.
I know that in the States it is difficult to find pure cream. Here, I can get just cream in the market. I have to buy it because it takes forever for the cream in goat/sheep milk to separate. I still check the label every time I buy the cream, though, because you never know when the manufacturer is going to start using junk.
Great info, thanks.
Thank you for this insight about carrageenan gum. I cannot tolerate guar gum... it causes digestive issues and I had no idea why. All these gum additives are probably causing digestive issues even if on a more subtle level. I am disgusted that Horizon Organic started adding gum to their heavy cream. It has made the product lumpy and gross.
I’ve figured out that the carrageenan in heavy cream causes me joint pain! Now I use only natural cream.
We're lucky enough to have raw milk available to us from our local milking parlour.
It's even better because we need a ten minute walk to collect it. It's provided in glass bottles which can be taken back to be cleaned and re-used.
Thanks for this video. Answered a lot of questions.
Where are you?
Located where if you don't mind?
@@ianstuart5660 I live in a small village which has farms all around. One has a milk bar facility offering raw milk.
@@collettemcquaide1662 Thanks, you're very fortunate to have that. So many of us don't!
@user-rc4rm2km1k yes. It's an excellent place. They are now offering yoghurt and milk shakes too.
At last a doctor confirms what my gut (no pun intended) feeling had been saying all my life! I grew up on (South African) milk (2 to 4 cups full cream/day every day, long life from Spar) and ALL my blood levels were within normal ranges when I took part in a medical trial at age 43. Always weighed around 65 kg - moved to Canada in 2012 and ended up at 85kg in 2019 but since I started keto, lost 13kg so far. I luv cheese and eggs too. And ALL my blood levels are still fine! And, I weaned my babies at age 6 months from breast to cow's milk, and they have never been sick either. The rubbish that's in formula! Baie dankie en groete!
How tall did you grow to be as a woman? And how did your hip to waist ratio develop having all that cream and milk?
@@EriPages 1,7m (I think that's 5'7) and 0.74 ratio. Nice thing is, Canada's milk is hormone and antibiotic free! The land of milk and maple syrup haha. Oh, we now have 5, 10 and 11% plain unsweetened Greek Yoghurt here, too! I mix it up with frozen blueberries - yum yum. And I use butter, never margarine. In my 60's now and all my bloodworks are normal :)
@@lieweheksie2876 Great raw cheese from Quebec!
I'm old enough to remember the five pound blocks of government cheddar cheese given away free during the Reagan admin. We ate nachos with cheese for days....
I am scrupulously clean when it comes to milking my goats/sheep. Teats are cleaned before and after. Hands are super clean. Buckets are sterilized. Milk is strained and refrigerated straight away. No pasteurization because most is used for making cheese. I usually don't drink the excess milk because I don't like the taste of any milk. My neighbors love it though.
Man has survived thru centuries doing it this way. When you boil it (Pasteurization ), you kill all the good bacteria !
Long life milk is dead ( UHT stands for ultra high temperature), and it's the one that supermarkets want us to drink because they can ship it all over the world and store it for a year or so. They save money on refrigeration, and therefore are following the plan of Agenda 21 ( which is no refrigeration in shops, because they can't be run on solar ). This means no fresh meat / dairy products / frozen vegetables or prepare meals, and no fresh juices ( only the shelf ones that are also boiled to the shit house ). Well be living on a few choices of canned foods and Gmo vegetables.... just like they're doing now in Cuba !
@waybow 2018 that sounds scary
I love cheese. Its like having a dessert.
Ron Clark French Brie is delicious. It’s loaded with vitamin K too.
@@rumproast5159 ... thanks for mentioning this, I didn't know that!
I milk my housecow each morning, make cream, butter and cheese (hubs isn't keto so uses it in coffee). Always raw. Please note pasteurization alters protein/calcium matrix to the extent that you have to add extra calcium to the milk to get cheese curd to set properly.
Cassie Oz what is a housecow? as a kid I had Jersey and Gernsy milk 8 years. Then I went off to college and then get married. After I left the farm except for a short period of time about 7 yrs ago where I tried raw milk but location too far, had the store bought stuff. I’ve since learned there is the A1 casine ( Holstein cow which is store milk) and A2 casine which is from a cow like our Jersey. People who have problems with the A1 can sometimes drink A2 milk without any problems. The same goes for eating wheat product in Italy but then coming back to the states in those with gluten issues can’t eat bread and wheat products in the states. Because here we have hybridized wheat and over there they don’t
@@digimom82 housecow us just the general name for a cow milked for home use (ie not a 'herd' cow). I milk a Jersey and an Australian Illawarra Shorthorn girl. The A1/A2 thing is contentious. Some studies have suggested that if folks don't know what milk they're drinking, the symptoms are inconsistent. There are two genes for the 'A' proteins in milk and all cows express A2 proteins. Most holsteins are A1A2 and so are a lot of Jerseys. SOME Jersey's are A2A2 so the cow must be tested to confirm. The benefit comes from the absence if A1, not the presence of A2. Hybridised wheat is ubiquitous since about 1965 and the durum wheat used in pasta is a high protein (ie high gluten) wheat.
@@jackimoya Dairy practices vary enormously so SOME but not all commercial dairy cows. Some ethical dairies raise the calf with the cows. Of course the calf's fate depends on whether it's male or female. In my area male calves are castrated (intact dairy bulls are very aggressive) and sold as 'lawn mowers' to smallholders to raise as beef (not commercially viable as beef because of low yield). I dont understand what you mean by 'forced to be pregnant'. Cows with a herd bull will be pregnant again 1-3 months after calving (ie every year). This is the natural breeding cycle of cattle.
Your info is pure gold!!! Seriously you are the cream dela cream, your reasonings are very intelligent.
One thing you’ve missed off is kefir. I make homemade kefir with raw A2 grass fed full fat milk. I double ferment each batch over two days. I then semi freeze the kefir with some blackberries and sometimes strawberries with chia seeds before eating. This has incredible benefits. You get all the good fats, the sugars have been eaten away by the bacteria, it’s a probiotic and is an excellent source of vitamins including B12. You can also add a little bit of green stevia or monk fruit of the taste is a bit too sour. It’s superb.
The sour taste is superb too!!! Love keffir too.
I love homemade kefir.. However.. there are still ~12g of carbs per cup. Where do those carbs come from. SUGAR. True, some is converted during the ferment.. but not all.. at least from what I can understand from nutritional info on it.
@@idostuff-nf9pc not sure where you get 12g of carbs from.. Maybe in a store kefir. The bacteria eat the carbs. Some may still exist, but 12g / cup... I'm not so sure.
But if in doubt, don't eat it.
@@paulg687 Thanks Paul.. no, I make my own. I'm just looking at all the nutritional facts on kefir.. they all seem to say essentially the same for kefir.
@idostuff-nf9pc if you do a double ferment there won't be much sugar in there. It gets pretty tart. I wouldn't worry about sugar.
I.can see why people.want to reduce as much sugar as possible because their diets are high in sugar. But a small amounts not going to hurt.
Cabot makes a whole milk plain Greek yogurt with 10% milkfat and their products are sold at my local Walmart. You can go to their website, pick that product and see if it's sold near you.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, eating and drinking dairy straight from the farmer has given me such a great advantages. Reduced the intake of milk ( almost none) but still going for hard and good cheeses. Boogie
Love milk and all dairy but had been barely managing on 80 mg of Nexium a day for stomach burning and pain. Had given up wheat, corn and soy years ago but never could get off acid suppressing meds even though I tried weaning down for months each time (and trying Pepcid and other drugs, to no avail). After an endoscopy the dr. said I had autoimmune gastritis. I don't know what it was but I got off all dairy. I was desperate for relief from gastric pain. Within 2 weeks I was off Nexium and acid suppressing meds. What a HUGE relief. I miss my dairy but I don't miss the pain and the damage long-term Nexium use was doing to me.
Do you consume alcohol? Most of my friends(we're in our 40's) who have dairy issues consumed alcohol for years before having dairy issues.
They still drink alcohol though.
I believe Trader Joes used to have really good whole milk yogurt. But haven't checked recently. Your explanation about dairy has FINALLY cleared up the craziness for me! You didn't mention cottage cheese. But I SUSPECT it has the effect of making me feel "high" as you mentioned. Wish you had explained the mechanism of why it causes constipation? Great video!
I absolutely love dairy and eat a lot. Not milk, though. Can't eat fatty meats or sugary anything as they make me nauseous. Trying to figure out healthiest way to get my protein from dairy and stay healthy. I recently discovered Skyr yogurt, 27g of protein.
I like kefir. I make it myself from whole cow's milk using kefir grains so I know there is no added sugar. It is delicious.
Great video. Thank you Dr. Cywes.
I’m from 🇬🇧 and consume the following dairy products:
Kefir (unsweetened)
Full fat 🧀 (Stilton, Gorgonzola, Dolcelatte, Parmesan, Brie, Goats cheese, Feta, Halloumi, cream cheese, occasionally mozzarella, ricotta, marscapone and extra mature cheddars)
Full fat Greek yoghurt (unsweetened)
Extra thick double cream
Sour cream (cooking only)
I find normal cows milk gives me runny stools and upset stomach and so I avoid it.
I'm from Wisconsin. I love cheese and butter and tolerate it just fine🧀🧈
Good for you. Unfortunately, not all people can tolerate dairy.
The problem with most folks is caused by pasteurization destroying digestive enzymes naturally found in milk.
Wisconsin represent!
Wisconsin doesn’t understand the meaning of no cheese 🤣 I love it!! We were there and asked for something without cheese and I think they added double 😆
B.W.-- WI born cheese lover myself-- Norwegian/German/ Irish heritage-- we love our cheese😋
I noticed my weightloss stalled when i drank whole milk and ate cream cheese. I love them though , maybe i will indulge once at maintenance weight
Been consuming raw dairy for 30 years 3 generations still on the farm and zero allergies to dairy.
I've been binge watching your vids doc. Have an appointment with you in June of 2024 (I came to realize quickly you're an internet sensation and there's a ton of demand for a consult) and very much looking forward to it. I'm 6'3, 203 lbs., lean & muscular and physically active. 49 years old. I've been consuming a glass of non-pasteurized milk almost every day and I put non-pasteurized cream in my morning coffee for about a month now. Always from the same source that a friend of mine introduced me to where she's been getting hers for over a year now. She's never gotten sick from it and to date neither have I. It's a part of one of my 2 daily meals and always at the end of consuming my meat and light serving of veggies. Delicious and that final touch for satiety.
Probably the best video I've seen about milk, and I've looked into the issue.
Thank you.
The idea that removing cream from milk is healthier, stems from the fact that you can then sell that cream at even higher profit.
What is worse than adding cane sugar is adding high fructose corn syrup - the American standard for all food products, it seems.
I found a couple of quality yogurts at Whole Foods that are full fat, organic, grassfed products. I also use heavy whipping cream, and other full fat, organic dairy including butter, from Kalona. Great products. The Cornucopia Institute (access online) has a dairy scorecard that ranks many farms around the country using a wide range of criteria that can be used to help find quality and humanely raised dairy products. Most conventional grocery stores don't carry quality dairy.
Thank you!
Great! Thanks so much 🙏🏼
I'm glad you found full-fat yogurt. For the longest time it was mostly low-fat and non-fat. Especially snack sized cups. Fat is trying to make a comeback.
As long as their Raw milk, here's why they're good for you (GcMAF is in Raw Milk) ua-cam.com/video/c2xLq8VQ6mA/v-deo.html
Great info! Thank you for sharing this!
I have avoided milk since I got Covid last year. I was already lactose intolerant past a certain point (forget drinking a big glass of milk unless I want to be a blimp), but since covid I can't even have enough milk to eat with cereal.
Now that I'm a ketogenarian 😉 I have heavy cream and cheeses, but I avoid milk. And for the first time in my life, I'm not plagued by gas half the day.
I also have less pain. I have fibromyalgia, but now my baseline pain is gone. I still have pain, but it comes and goes instead of sticking around the whole day like before.
I've been on a ketogenic diet for a month now, and I've lost five pounds. Sometimes I'm tempted to have carbs, but I know the pain will come back and it's just not worth it.
Hey Doc, I've significantly reduced carbs even before seeing your videos, but started a keto diet / lifestyle about a week ago and I'm feeling pretty good.
It's easy to get 14-16 hours without even thinking of food when the fat is adjusted correctly.
Just wanted to say you are making a real and important change in people! Thank you!
Just such smart advice. By the way, Dr Cywes: look for Brown Cow Plain Cream on the top yogurt. Take a hand mixer w only 1 beater in it and blend thoroughly once opened. It will be and stay a super silky, fluid texture. This is as close to a good European Bulgarian-style yogurt as I have found.
I eat about 4 ounces of cheese with every meal , twice a day. I have gotten into the habit of shopping at whole foods and trader Joe's, alot higher quality stuff than you get at Walmart or kroger
Kroger is the only higher quality store for us here; I can't stand much of what Wally sells in the food section, and prefer Kroger or Aldi. Mid MO isn't a place full of health foods stores, nor good places to get quality foods in any way, shape or form, I'm finding.
I am happy to have found this video to share with my husband who shared a couple others by Doc Rob. We are fortunate to have a local dairy, cows are all grass-fed, babies get their milk first and the cows are only milked once a day. The milk I buy from them is raw, full fat with a thick layer of cream on the top. Their yogurt is made with this same milk and has a thick layer of cream I have to stir into the yogurt. Zero sugar added, nothing extra added except the necessary cultures. I sometimes make my own yogurt using beef gelatin from this raw milk so I do not have to pasteurize it at all and it sets up nice and thick. I am not a milk drinker but hubby is so I make sure he has this. I do buy a low-temp pasteurized A2/A2 milk, full fat out of southern CO for my hot mocha again with a thick layer of cream on the top. I also use their A2/A2 heavy cream when I make butter chicken.
You are drinking milk the healthiest way possible. GcMAF is found in raw milk, and it's a natural wonder cure... if you've never heard of it, look at this. Then you'll understand why they don't want us to drink it... because it strengthens our immune system, and wards off many common ailments..even cancer and autism !

100gr a day?
It is a lot!
I barely get 5gr. And still think it is a lot.
Your so right about the facts. It gets so confusing at times
It's worth pointing out that human genetic adaptation to allow lactase production to digest milk lactose as adults has occurred several times, independently of each other. That's indicative of strong evolutionary pressure. It shows that dairy was important for survival to our ancestors.
Also, if someone ceases all dairy for a significant amount of time (varies, according to the person), maybe for a year or more, then the body will cease to produce lactase - permanently. In order to continue to produce lactase as adults, the stimulus of ingesting at least some lactose is needed. This has been known for decades, but among keto guys, it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.
What happens then. Allergic reaction or discomfort?
@@ianstuart5660 Discomfort due to the inability to digest lactose. It's not an allergic reaction.
yogurt and milk are awesome. makes carnivore a lot more pleasant and sustainable in my opinion. butter too
Cheese is a slippery slope for me. Especially if I combine a good piece of cheese with macadamia nuts. Eaten together it’s like cheese popcorn to me.
how about lard and tallow, I've read saturated fat is very protective for your body
I am trying to eliminate psoriasis and dairy flares my psoriasis. I sure wish I could include dairy in the list of foods I can eat.
Making your own yogurt is the way to go, it is so easy, even I can do it! Full fat, zero sugar, great taste. I use a probiotic that includes l. Ruteri as a starter.

FAGE whole milk yogurt..... awesome
If you want yogurt in the US, "Two Good" is a great pick. 2 carbs listed. Sweetened with erythritol. Nowhere near as sweet as regular yogurt, but it's relatively thick, and It hits a real spot for me.
I am sensitive to A1 casein & only recently discovered I could find A2 milk at Whole Foods, but A2 yogurt is not available.
I have been eating goats milk kefir instead, however, and find it preferable anyway. It's not only safe for those w an A1 casein allergy, but due to the fact that it comes out of the goat naturally homogenous, the fat can't be skimmed off, so it is always full fat. There is also no sugar added, so it is not sweet at all, & only has 10 total carbs per cup, so doesn't trigger cravings in me, whereas goat cheeses do, for some reason. So it's a great substitute for cows milk yogurt, IMHO. .
@@cherylh4688 I recently found A2 unsweetened organic yogurt at Costco! The brand is called Bellwether Farms. It has only 5g carbs per 3/4 cup, too! Not sure if all the Costco's carry it, but I found it here in Southern CA Costco.
@christinelamb1167 Thank you so much for sharing that, Christine, but actually, altho' I haven't seen it at my Costco in NC yet (or that brand either), A2 yogurt has been available at my local Whole Foods now for some time, and it's even from 100% grass-fed cows! I don't remember when it arrived, but my first comment on here was written 2 yrs ago, so it was sometime in the last 2 yrs.
Also, A2 half&half has also been available for quite a while and even A2 sour cream showed up recently at a Sprouts near me!
So little by little, it seems to be finding its way here, which I am thrilled about! What I'm really waiting for, however, is cream and cream cheese, which have both been available in California for a long time because the grass-fed brand (Alexandra, I think) is located there.
But I'm very encouraged by what has become available so far, and now even more after reading that it is even showing up in Costco! So thank you again for letting me know; that is indeed good news!
@@cherylh4688 I'm so glad to hear you've been able to find A2 yogurt and other A2 dairy readily availiable where you are!
It is very encouraging that these foods are becoming easier to find (at least in some larger cities).
I recently became a member of Costco. Since starting keto I have been happy to be able to find so many foods I can buy in bulk that are good for my keto diet. I'm saving a lot of money on meat and dairy, for sure!
Loved this. Part of the biggest issue I see in the US is that we use the wrong cow for milking here. Frankly, we use goat milk at our home. We can get raw and or whole milk that has been lightly pasteurized. No sugars added to our dairy. 😊
Just added raw milk with cream this week. Having one glass after dinner...will be watching the scale.
What’s bizarre is that I JUST started eating a small amount of Greek yogurt and somehow..it actually IMPROVED my gastritis and gastroparesis and actually made me more regular with less heartburn and diarrhea! I don’t know if it’s the amounts of probiotics in it but it’s working and I’ll stick with a little at a time!😮
ive been keto for 2 years and was given milk in a coffee shop by mistake, I couldnt believe how sweet it was
I was given sugar one time by accident and I was high, like I could fly lol
There are a number of good yogurt brands available in the US if you look for them--Fage, Wallaby, Siggis, Skyr, Nancy's... and more. But a lot of them are produced out of the country. You can also easily make your own, especially with an Instant Pot with whole milk and 2 T of plain yogurt per gallon of milk. You can also make ice cream and not put any sweeteners in (or if it works for you, honey or 100% maple).
I'm in the USA & we can easily buy "whole" milk plain yogurt and whole milk low-temp pasteurized non-homogenized grass fed cow milk, so I make my own yogurt with the glass bottled milk. The milk is about $11/gallon so we don't get as much milk as we used to and I have the homemade yogurt with keto toppings or occasionally raw honey from my bees & cinnamon. Keto granola with the dried strawberries was amazing as a mug of "cereal" and yogurt topping.
Sometimes when I have cravings, I do enjoy some full fat mature cheddar cheese. Delicious.
I make my own kefir with cream so i get pure milk fat and probiotics. I use it in my coffee make horseradish sauce for my steaks with it.
I enjoyed making full cream raw milk kefir with live kefir grains. The microbes of the kefir grains consume lactose for their nutrients, sigificantly reducing the lactose content. Ive learned to enjoy it plain, adding a few Tablespoons of chia seeds per quart to sit for a few hours or overnight. The acidic medium neutralizes the lectins in the chia seeds as well. Lovely.
I like "Half & Half" instead of whole milk in my coffee. And real Greek yogurt - lots of protein and fat. Helped me overcome insulin resistance, along with replacing Weetabix and with eggs/cheese cooked in butter every morning.
I also eat Greek Yogurt... whole fat... luscious!
What is "Weetabix?"
@@jazthing1 Weetabix is a boxed cereal - google it.
The oestrogen is a concern too. I wish you addressed this.
Similar to the decision of whether a person should get the Covid jab or not, is the point of making a science based decision as opposed to a fear based decision. Better to have the facts than to linger in doubt and take the wrong decision.
Dividing nutrition from hydration is positively genius. I would just feel so dried up at night first thing I grab is milk I hadn't noticed how much of it I can drink, my goshness. I used to go for water more but it keeps feeling like I need something that milk has, maybe the thickness to feel better or something and then I got a kid (the kids a boy) I think he takes it in too but I had been kind of winded yesterday and I just needed to get back home asap I did experience nausea. I think I don't eat much of fruits or meats and I don't do a lot of grains either. Just like fruits don't fill and veggies really don't. Meat, nuts those are more filling for me than anything else. I just like milk though especially whole milk.
Thank you for addressing casein,I only buy Jersey A2 milk for my family.
I eat plain yogurt here in the u.s. but you cannot get it from the "regular" markets. Whole foods, trader joes, and aldi sells plain organic whole milk yogurt with no added anything. the price is great, its cheaper than the sugary yogurts. you can get the big container for around 3.99usd. I never enjoyed yogurt, always thought milk products smelled, but i make sure to have some because i cannot digest veggies without!!!! I enjoy my broccoli and beans but if i don't have plain yogurt the veggies will produce gas and discomfort.
We have more than one brand of whole milk, no sugar added yogurt at my local grocery store here in the US. Most of it is as you described, but it's not as if it not available everywhere. Even Walmart carries, no sugar added, whole milk yogurt. Are the milk fat percentages different for full fat and double fat yogurt?
I have a reaction where I get sinus issues with post nasal drip and then I get chronic sinus infections. I only discovered this when I went vegan. I finally changed over to Keto and then started adding some cheese back into my diet and my sinuses were affected again so I obviously have a reaction to it. I never went back to milk or cream and stuck with almond milk in my coffee. I’ve heard other people have sinus issues as well from dairy.
Have heard that too!
That provided a lot of clarity. I drink a little full cream milk in my coffee (about 3 cups a day). I eat cheese, especially Feta in salads. Full fat plain yoghurt perhaps once a week. I mix the flesh of one passion fruit into the yoghurt to give it a nice tangy taste.
I love Balkan style yoghurt, 6% fat. I add flavour like vanilla, or berries, frozen berries are awesome as they juice when thawing.
Whole milk is only about 3.5% fat, hardly as fat as many people think. I make yogurt from either goats milk or raw cream; extremely easy to make.
Perfect
For me its Full Cream, Butter for cooking/frying and Cheeses that are low in carbs.Skim milk is essentially a coke with 10gm of sugars per 100ml not much better than coke other than possibly some vitamins/minerals if they're not stolen as well...Lost nearly 40kg since beginning of the year had a plateau for sometime and cutting back on dairy has helped. Cant do black coffee though.....
I'm in the States (Texas, specifically). I'm eating unsweetened, full-fat yogurt (whole milk & cultures, that's it,) as I am watching this. Perhaps other parts of the country are different, but I have no problem finding a few different brands of unsweetened, full-fat yogurt.
Really interesting. First time watching. I started going Keto phasing in from January and strict (trying to) from about March. I struggled with terrible carb addiction. I find like the addiction never really goes so I find for myself that it is so true that I have to avoid triggering it. I have been doing well but couldn't get a proper answer about milk. I think I get why I am struggling with it. I only allowed myself one cup of coffee late afternoon with milk. With my carb addiction problems (cravings) it is probably best to avoid milk then. This was an answer for me
I love Fairlife whole milk. It is lower carb, like 6 compared to 11 or 12. I dont drink a lot of it, but when i really want a bit of milk, that's my go to.
I have a very bad relationship with milk: lactose intolerance every time I have some since childhood; I stick to cheese, cream and yoghurt and I love it!
Great discussion. As you know here in South Africa “long life milk” is a popular choice. That can’t be good for you.
Here in Chile too! Erg!
Long life milk is BS.... i've been drinking it for 40 years, and I'm still getting older !
Woolworths Ayrshire double cream joghurt has no preservative, sugar or stabilisers
I’m switching from skim milk to full cream milk
I always wake up stuffy if I have any dairy the night before. I only ever wake up with clear nasal passages if I ate zero-carb, carnivore the day before.
Loved this vid. Thx
Greetings form Brazil :-)
I love my yogurt, but since I'm in the US and can't find full fat non sweetened yogurt, I make a point to stir in a large glug of heavy whipping cream each time I have it. Makes it taste a lot better too!
Trader Joe's carries a European-style plain yogurt with the live cultures in it. I buy it, and for me, it's my "icecream".
Fage Greek full date plain yogurt
Adding water to whiskey doesn't stop one from being an alcoholic
I like Fage 5% plain yogurt.
Thank you for this great information!
I’m fat adapted. 3 years keto. Dairy (cheese, cream, etc) no problem now….I eat loads of it.
I have 100% found the opposite to be true with myself and nearly every single one of my keto and carnivore clients. Butter is the only dairy the majority of people can have without an insulin response
Myself and many of my clients wear a CGM
Do your clients have a history of carb-addiction, diabetes or similar issues? Might explain it, as he said in the video.
@@maximiliankuhn4531 also - what kind of diary do you consume? Most of the cheeses and milk product in the US I encountered are far from being just that. Do you have access to low processed diary?
stop talking shit max
Excellent video! You have supported every single point of my theories. I shared on all my social media.
In America you can get full fat yogurt. It's called Ratio KETO friendly and it has 15g fat, 2g carbs, 1g sugar and 15g protein. It's very good but use in moderation.
Just omitted dairy from my keto life. I hadn't noticed how cheese,yoghurt and milk heavy my diet had become.(Because Im oxalate sensitive.) Leaning harder into meat and token low carb vegies and activated nuts. Going to experiment with hemp protein to make muffins and shakes and occasional yummies.
Macadamia nut milk for coffee is bloody awesome. thank god!
ps Im high reactive to dairy DR rob lol.
Even sheep and goat. ugh!
Thank you 😊 I have a hard time getting my fat in if I try to move away from dairy. I use 33% sour cream, butter, cheese and whipping cream to get my fat in on carnivore. 4.5 months carnivore after a year of low carb high fat to keto. I know everyone recommends suet or duck fat, but that’s not readily available or in my budget. As for milk, I can’t drink regular skim of any sort. But I have discovered that I can thin out whipping cream to satisfy the craving for milk. I use ¼ cup whipping cream in a 2 cup glass and top it with tap water. Sometimes if I'm craving something sweet I add some stevia and vanilla.
Dairy is my crutch on keto as I lean towards carnivore and Im sure it is for many. Its the dopamine reaction even when other foods are more nutritionally dense and compensates for the cost. As much as watered down cream is milky, it has zero protein so its simulating an emotional response and heavy on calories for near zero protein. Duck fat has over 10g of fat per tbsp and hwc 5g so cost per fat gram is similar if not better for duck fat. I found if not actively eating the fatty cuts of meat and breaking down my own tallow and chewing on the fatty pieces, I'm always short. I feel I allow myself to do it as Im an addict. I've been at maintenance nearly 2 yrs and feel like dairy has become a bigger part of my life...making cheeses and trying new things but cant help but feel Ive just shifted my addictions :(
@@dana102083 I hear you! That is why I stick pretty much to ribeye and some eggs, a bit of cheese, cream in my coffee, stevia, a bit of avocado, some mayonnaise, water. I find I am happy if I don't look at recipes, or cook shows, or any images of the foods I crave. I don't have them in the house and I don't think about food, other than when I am hungry. Then I get up and I put two ribeye steaks in the air fryer, wait 10 minutes and eat. Have a glass of water and go back to what I was doing. By simplifying to the max what I eat, I reduce the stimulus that creates the craving.
Tina Thevarge Did you try lard? I understand in some places it's hard to get the pure stuff. Where I live (France) it's about the same cost as butter. There is goose fat but it's very expensive, probably like your duck fat. If you're not doing it already, keep the dripping from your cooking. My mum always had some dripping in the fridge ready for use. I tend not to have so much because I usually fry any veggies in it (I'm not carnivore), which gives taste - and fat - to them. My children actually like the veggies done that way :-)
Ekondig G i have tried lard. I have some in my fridge. I just reach for butter and sour cream more. The lard I have locally has a different texture that doesn’t blend well in recipes like butter. 6+ months carnivore now. I do keep drippings from bacon, but it’s not always in the budget either.
dana102083 I have to try to work around my husband who still eats SAD even after watching keto help me for 9 months and carnivore help me more for the last 6. Because he’s not willing to change, there’s not much room in the budget for extra meat or exotic fats for me. So others might have more of a budget to work with to buy more nutrient dense meat. I work on converting my husband to keto fats so that at least he's not eating so much vegetable oils in things like salad dressing and mayonnaise. Maybe one day he’ll drop the belief that you need to have a monstrous bowel movement everyday, but until then, I do what I can with the tiny budget I have.
My husband makes amazing Greek yogurt from whole milk. We live in the US. It's seems that would be okay from your explanation if it's raw and we add cream into it first. Of course it won't be raw after we make the yogurt.
If you make your yogurt yourself from milk , the bacteria eat the sugar totally. Right ?
I’m mostly carnivore only for a few months and great improvement in my health. I was already quite thin when I started and losing weight/fat. I did increase my meat/fat intake. I’m wondering if drinking milk on a regular basis would help?
I like gouda cheese with saerkraut
thank you for this video! would you please share your perspective on starting babies on solids and also, feeding small children? off course it goes without saying that processed foods, grains and sugar are out of the question, but what about potatoes, lentils, etc ... that would be so amazing, thank you!
Must admit I love Cornish Clotted Cream (or Jersey) and different types of blue cheese + organic butters, not really into milk per se though I wouldn't run a mile from it. I agree, it is so hard to find yoghurt in shops that are not packed with sugars as well as 0% fat ... awful stuff, certain you used to be able to get full fat and no sugar yoghurts in the UK
I drink black coffee, so giving up milk wasn't a problem for me. I eat authentic Greek yogurt and lots of cheese. You said at the very end not to drink almond milk but didn't explain why. If it's unsweetened what's the problem?
I have had dairy goats for 20 years or more . Goat milk has a reputation for being safe for the lactose intolerant. I think that the thing that gives this impression is that most goat dairies are small and do not have pasturizers thus most goat milk is consumed raw. Cheese is low in lactose because most lactose is drawn off in the whey. Raw milk still has the enzymes that make it the perfect food for baby animals and is thus easier to digest than the denatured product we call milk. It also has probiotics. Raw goat milk is the redily available food that is closest to human brest milk. The saturated fats pass through our gut and don't cause high colesterol
