Full fat or cream. Anything with as little carbs as possible.

The difference in the carbohydrate in Whole milk and Semi-Skimmed milk is marginal. According to the Tesco website Whole milk is 4.7g carbs per 100ml, Semi-Skimmed milk is 4.8g carbs per 100ml. So if you were to drink a whole litre of milk that would only make 1 gram difference.

I use whole milk as I need the fats to make up for the reduced carbs in my general diet. And I like the taste : )

For me it’s just the principle more than anything. Fat is my main source of fuel so I prefer not to consume foods that have had it artificially removed. It’s a moot point for me anyway, as I don’t really use it.

When I looked up lactofree it said they add lactase to break down the lactose to glucose and galactose. It doesn't say they remove anything - any idea why it is lower carb?

I buy a 568ml container and pour at least 3/4 of it away every week, so not an issue for me.
If you consume a lot of Milk then certainly, 45% less Carb is certainly a factor to think about.
Does it cost more ?, I am a tight wad
..............the wife bought me organic the other week........60p instead of 50p..........

Like a couple of other folk have said, I use skimmed milk in my tea, just a dash. My cuppas are non-negotiable.

I’m a black coffee guy but my wife uses cream.
Full fat, grass fed.
She didn’t need to lose weight but did—body fat - and her ketone level is always 2.0 and above.
She was raised on a farm but in college was told she’d die from her farm diet.
Now she lathers everything in butter.
She adds the cream to my scrambled eggs, adds butter on top of that and sneaks in cheese.

To be honest no.. but I thought by removing the lactose that part of the carb/sugar content has gone hence the lower carb values.. it just happened ot be the lowest carb proper milk (rather than an alternative "drink" type thing) I found in the early days when I read all the packaging in the supermarket!

Usually £1.40 a litre but can be on offer 2 for £2... and anyway I'm worth it!

A2 or protein-enriched soy milk in full fat plain (non-flavoured) variety.
I am intolerant of the A1 protein in cow's milk so I can avoid that protein but still maintain a reasonable protein level
without to high a carb content with these two milks. My understanding is that whilst nut milks are not too bad carb content-wise they are low in protein compared to cow or other animal milk or soy.
