I stopped drinking milk (whole milk) about 2 months ago and have since steadily gained weight since.

If I don't have a glass of whole milk in the morning, I spend the whole rest of the day feeling like I haven't eaten, no matter what else I eat. If I go 2 or 3 days without milk, I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

Everybody's different, but some of us need the milk and some don't. Maybe not drinking milk is making you feel hungrier than usual, and you're eating more than you realize to try and fill the hunger?

Good advice. I’m not sure if it’s because I am 40, life stresses or the recent loss of a baby in the second trimester and ensuing hormonal changes. My weight should be going down from the pregnancy, but instead is creeping up. Weird. I cut out milk after losing the baby just to save it for the kids and cut calories out for me but it hasn’t worked.
