I watched that all access on randy couture and it said no dairy for his diet. Is there any legitamate reason for this?? Is dairy bad for you?

A lot of people hold extra weight when they consume dairy. i notice my weight goes up 5 or so lbs if i eat a decent amount of cheese. i definitely get bloated if i eat too much dairy. only thing i can think of.

milk, while having a very low glycemic index, has a ridiculously high insulin index. That could be why. I still drink it, but I have cut pretty far back.

no fucking way I'm giving up cottage cheese though. also plain nonfat yogurt is supposed to be legit

The bloating factor is a big reason. Then again, a lot of people also have an intolerance for it. I quit dairy, and dropped some weight. Then again, I was vegetarian before dropping dairy, then lost more weight.

If you're lactose intollerant, that's a good reason. I can't think of another.

Dairy is bad because of lactose. Milk contains lactose which is a sugar - it is not digestible for most humans AFTER infancy. Bloating, heartburn, and weightgain all come with excessive dairy consumption.

Some people, like myself, develop an allergy to it with age.

You can have my milk....but you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead, hands.


Damn dirty apes.

I have no idea, I love milk.

I was wondering the same thing. I read an article recently where another fighter (other than Couture) had given up dairy, which got me wondering why. I get a lot of my protein from dairy sources (whey protein, cottage cheese) so this would be a big thing for me to let go of.
