Oh no that actually helps you..... boosts your metabolism ...don't stop drinking milk ive never gained weight because of milk....your body needs it!


Unfortunately, I seem to have developed a little bit of lactose intolerance. I had a cough that would not go away and milk, icecream, etc. aggravated it. My doctor suggested I stop drinking milk.

I am using rice milk for my breakfast cereal.

I know many other ways to boost my metabolism.


I have lactose intolerance and take Lactaids when I have diary products. My mom has increased phlegm when she has ice cream. Have you thought about soy milk? Keep taking those calcium pills with Vitamin D!



I've tried almond milk and soy milk. Almond milk is too rich, soy milk gives me gas. I settled for rice milk to put on my cereal and mix with protein powder.

I really like the rice milk.


I have the same problem with soy milk. lol Does rice milk have a fair amount of calcium in it? Myself - I have to keep up on my Vitamin D intake. Doc said it was on the low side.

I don't think rice milk has much of anything in it, but it tastes good on cereal. I'm taking a vitamins and mineral suppliments.

Maybe I need some D also

i water down whole milk to 2% by adding half water

half the carbs too

get you vitamin d from the sun

15 min a day full dose

if you get unpasteurized milk you should be ok

frozen spinach is best

or fresh from a farmers market

grow some sprouts

kale has the most vitamins

and herbs are even better

i think a real bike is the best form of exercise

and some light weight lifting and stretching

unless you have a pool lol

did you find any licorice root?

Lately I have been feeling sluggish. I'm doing my exercises and walking every day, but I'm still dragging.

I've lowered my blood pressure. I just need more energy.

Any suggestions?
sure buy pure Pomegranate juice is really good ,also Fiber content in the oatmeal helps you to get a steady stream of energy. Oats also contain Vitamin B which helps transform carbohydrates into usable energy.watermelon A refreshing fruit- contains fatigue fighters like, Vitamin C, lycopene, iron, and potassium. Great source of water that keeps you hydrated for a long time.Spinach: Good source of Vitamin B and folic acid. It’s a high energy food along with sprouts, broccoli, and asparagus. Sweet potatoes are also very energy-boosting. Rich with copper, dietary fibre, iron, potassium, manganese. But that’s not all sweet potatoes are also good sources of Vitamin A, B6 and C. An excellent energy food rich with a lot of valuable nutrients....now if you have that you will be full of energy flowerforyou :banana: :thumbsup:
