Milk, Milk Products, & Milk Subsititutes
|
Dairy products are an excellent source of calcium and protein and make for great snacks. But whole-milk dairy products, such as butter, cheese, milk, cream, and ice cream contain high amounts of saturated fat. When selecting dairy products, look for non-fat or low-fat varieties of milk or plain yogurt or yogurt sweetened with aspartame. These products contain the milk sugar lactose, which has a moderated glycemic index lower than other simple sugars. Also look for low-fat soy milk and soy drinks, which contain more protein and less fat than cow's milk.
