Had same problem, til friend gave me decaf tea to try. Don’t need any milk with that! I was totally amazed. Hope this helps.Trying to follow the 800 cal BS diet, but I cannot live without milk in my tea. Ordinary proper real milk, not almond or oat or any of that. How much milk can I allow per day without starving myself? Is half a pint ok and how many cals is that? TY!
If it’s not strong enough to stand a spoon upright in then it ain’t teaI stretch cups of tea by topping up after each sip with hot water from a vacuum flask. It does eventually get too diluted and then I stop topping up, but it makes one cup of tea (with one cup of tea's worth of milk) last a lot longer than it would otherwise.

Skimmed doesn’t help, if anything it’s worse because it fills you up less and has slightly more carbs.Have you thought about buying Bob milk? It’s skimmed but tastes like semi.
Hi. I've recently become lactose intolerant, I thought it would be a real nuisance, but no, most places do a version of lactofree milk.
It's really nice, use as standard milk, no lactose obviously, so doesn't affect your blood glucose reading, and fewer calories. Sorry don't know the amount as I don't calorie count. Arla make the brand Lactofree milk and in Asda in their free from chilled section they do a 1 & 2 (not far short of 4 pint bottle) litre carton of lactofree milk.
I suggest you avoid Oat milk as that tastes like a very runny unsweetened porridge. Hope this info helps you. Lactofree milk is regular dairy milk but lactose free & has Lactase Enzyme in it, which your body uses to allow you to tolerate lactose. Arla lactofree milk is available in full fat and semi skimmed varieties.
Good Luck
I was just over 70 when I was diagnosed with T2, and my taste buds have positively rejoiced at some of the changes I needed to make (others definitelyThe thing is, it's hard enough to cope with a change in diet without doing away with the one or two things you desperately need and in my early 70s, it woukld be impossible to revamp my taste buds! I think I'll have to factor in a milk allowance - can drink less tea but still real rea.
Thanks for all help!

The maximum time period is 12 weeks, but there are lots of different 800 calorie diets - Dr Michael Mosely had 2 of them, one of those was also Low Carb.It's very low cal, yes, but it's not intended to be a long-term thing, from what I understand. Off the top of my head 6 to 8 weeks or something. Beyond that it would indeed lead to malnourishment, but as a crash diet, it works. After that you have to find something that's sustainable in the long run though.
