It’s now my third day off dairy and I feel less bloated, am going to the toilet a lot less, and my stomach is flatter. Apparently, there is this thought that milk is good for people but cow’s milk was made for a cow not a human.

I have changed to Soya Milk, Rice Milk, and Almond Milk. The only thing I can state about these milks is that they are expensive, taste nothing like normal milk, and they’re watery. I suppose it’s a taste I will gradually get used to. The sad fact with drinking coffee with these alternative milks is that I don’t want to drink coffee too much. I’ve had three cups today. On milk I would have been on my eighth or ninth cup now. That could be a good thing.

I am going to have cheese once a week though. There is no way in the world I can give up cheese. I will allow it on my cheat day.

Dairy free diets can improve the body’s digestion and prevent mucus building up in the body. Milk or dairy products can also cause allergies and these can be tiresome for those who suffer.

Whether I can keep this up I do not know. I do miss a cup of coffee with sterilized milk so badly but if it’s helping my body then it’s worth it. So I can’t really say I’m on a dairy free diet if I have cheese once a week but that is my choice. Before deciding to opt for dairy free I was having cheese almost every day, just a little bit but it is full of saturated fat and calorific too.

Two people have stated they thought I had lost weight. Whether it’s this simple change or whether I have added muscle and shed fat I do not know, but it’s put me on a buzz.
