I watched the part of the programme where they explored the pros and cons of different types of milk. I drink goats milk which wasn’t mentioned. What do the presenters think of this milk?

I would like to know if goats milk is allowed also 🙂

I don’t know what the presenters think but I love it, and used it intermittently throughout my weightloss period, along with cows milk and nut ‘milks’ for various uses. I love goats cheese as well. I think it is supposed to be lower in lactose and easier to digest than cows milk, but haven’t looked into benefits in any depth.

At far as calories and carbs go, there is little to give between whole cow’s milk (61cals/4.8g carbs per 100ml) and goat’s milk (69cals & 4.5g carbs per 100ml), but some people find goat’s milk more easily digested – some prefer the taste too. If you like goat’s milk, there is no reason to give it up but keep and eye on the carb intake.

Personally, I use unsweetened almond milk a lot, as the brand I use is both low in calories (13 cals per 100ml) and has 0g carbs. I love goats cheese as well and I’m planning to start making kefir again and thinking I might try using goat’s milk for that.

My advice – keep enjoying your goat’s milk, as long as it fits in with your daily calorie and carb allowance.
