Can you make butter by shaking skim milk?
You'll need to purchase heavy cream if you want to make homemade butter. You don't have to shake it, you can easily make it in your food processor by adding the cream and turning it on until you see the cream solidify into butter. You'll see that as butter is created, there is liquid left over - this liquid is buttermilk, and is great for making scones and pancakes. :)
Can you use non-fat, 1% or 2% milk instead of whole milk to make crepes?
Will using either non-fat, 1% or 2% milk create any problems when making crepes? In our house we use non-fat only, my daughter is making crepes with a fruit filling for her French culture points for high school & I was just curious if we could use something other than whole milk as I would hate to buy whole milk for the crepes and then waste whatever milk is left over. If you've used something other than whole milk, I would appreciate hearing your experience & which milk you used, if the taste was different, consistancy, etc. Thanks!
Does milk make you fat?
There is no food (or drink) that makes you fat. Eating more calories than you burn makes you fat. And it doesn't matter which foods those calories come from; if you eat more of them than you use, you get fatter. If you burn them, you stay the same or lose weight.The nutritional content of milk varies a bit depending on what type it is, but most consumer fluid milk varies between 0% and 4% fat, with somewhat different ratios of fat to carbohydrates and protein in each version. None of the versions is off the charts in any respect compared to many other foods you might include in a reasonable diet. So it would be inaccurate, unscientific, and irresponsible to suggest that milk should be singled out as a food that makes you fat. It's a perfectly reasonable thing to include in your diet, in amounts that are healthy.
Can you make Jello instant pudding with fat-free milk?
You can make Jello instant pudding with fat-free or skimmed milk. It isn’t the milk fat that makes it set. You can even make it with powdered milk. That said, much of the fullness and flavor comes from the milk fat, so if you make it this way, the suggestion would be made to add something to the pudding to add flavor. For instance, for chocolate pudding, you could add bananas, strawberries, cherries, raisins or other fruits that go well with chocolate. That should help make the missing milk fat less noticeable. As an added benefit, it should also make the pudding healthier.
Does powdered milk make you fat?
The only think you changed was drinking powdered milk? I doubt that. Have you been tracking nutrients such as this --> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/c... ? Have you been tracking your energy output? Can you tell me the difference between your energy in and out in joules? Wandering around in a qualitative state of mind while developing beliefs, not from actual facts but, from ideas that pop into your head for this or that reason is no way to understand what's happening with your body. Consider this. Your weight varies all the time. You drink a pint or water, you gain a pound. You pee a pint, you lose a pound. And for that reason you never know your weight because your weight is only accurate when you measure it. If you lose a pound a minute later, that's not fat loss. Now combine those ups and down with water retention due to salt intake, hormonal influences such as PMS, caffiene, etc. and your weight can vary several pounds in water and waste in a weeks time. So, if you weight heavy week and than weight light the next, you'll see a weight difference of several pounds simply because of variables that have nothing to do with fat. Subtract those errors from your 10 pounds and what have you got? Maybe a few pounds of fat...if any? And, based on that very unscientific process, you decide, "gee, powdered milk is making me fat"? It's possible you consumed so much powered milk that you added body fat. Milk does have the same caloric value as pure sugar (4 cals/gm). However, it more likely your sloppy analysis is just plain wrong and either you didn't gain that much fat or other things changed which you don't realize or both. It's important to be careful about drawing conclusion which exceed your intellectual capacity for doing so. You will learn, grow, develop, mature, etc. in the years ahead. You didn't provide your age - which happens to be important to your question/answer - but you're probably in your teens. Your brain will not be fully developed until your 20s and you can only become increasingly knowledgeable with the passage of time. So, study hard and ask good questions. Good question get good answers. Poor questions get poor answers. Good luck and good health!! ♠
Should I drink Milk before i go to bed?
Anyone who tells you the you shouldn't eat before bed because it will make you fat is simply perpetuating a myth. Your body will process your food very well whether or not you're awake or asleep. Here's what the experts, the people your doctor gets information from, at the US National Institute of Health have to say in their publication of myths. "Myth: Eating after 8 p.m. causes weight gain. Fact: It does not matter what time of day you eat. It is what and how much you eat and how much physical activity you do during the whole day that determines whether you gain, lose, or maintain your weight. No matter when you eat, your body will store extra calories as fat." Ref: http://win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/my... If you want the burn fat and build muscle at the same time, train hard, train right, and mind your macronutrient ratios. Don't take any supplements. Watch this video ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961#p... Drinking milk before bed is absolutely okay. Good luck and good health!! ♠
Does drinking a lot of milk make you gain weight?
Think about it for a second: Cows' milk is designed to bring a 90-pound calf to a 2,000-pound cow in a matter of a couple of years. It is full of fat and calories. Now, to make matters worse, many dairy cows are pumped up with hormones and antibiotics. Those hormones no doubt have a lot to do with your weight gain. The dairy industry is LYING to you, honey. I'm sure that those studies showing low-fat dairy causes weight loss were funded by the dairy industry. Heck, most advertising is lying. Unless you're using skim, roughly half the calories in milk come from FAT (the 2 percent is by weight, not calories). And those eat-two-bowls of cereal are nothing more than calorie-reducing, meal-replacing plans. Ditch the milk, eat sensibly--lots of fruits, veggies, grains, and beans, with nuts in moderation--exercise, and you should be fine. And try putting soy milk, rice milk, or almond milk on your cereal instead.
