Full-Fat Dairy vs. Low-Fat Dairy…Is One Better than the Other? Which Should You Choose?

When shopping for cheese, milk, and yogurt, which is better for you?

Full-fat dairy?

Or low-fat or non-fat dairy?

These are questions I get from my clients, who often feel totally overwhelmed with making the “best” choices when they’re at the grocery store.

If you haven’t read my article, “Is Dairy Healthy? And Should You Switch to a Plant-Based Milk?” then read that first and then come back here. It will give you a thorough understanding of the science behind why you should (or shoudn’t?) be consuming dairy…

But once you decide to have milk, cheese, and yogurt, which type do you choose?

Fat-free? Skim?

1%? 2%?

4 %? Whole milk?

And why?

Let’s take a look at what the research is currently showing so that you can make the best decision for you 😊

You hear the word “balance” all the time:

  • Work-life balance

  • Balanced eating

  • “How do I balance all of this?”

  • “I just want balance!”

  • “It’s all about balance”

And it got me thinking…how do I define balance? And how can my definition of balance help YOU enjoy a sustainable way of eating?

To me, balance has FIVE distinct meanings, and these meanings can help you enjoy a sustainable way of eating that is realistic, doable, and leads to lasting results.
