/ TOTAL HEALTH MAKEOVER / The 10 Steps / Eliminate Dairy!

Eliminate Dairy!
Like red meat, cow's milk is filled with drugs and hormones. Whatever the cow (or goat or sheep) consumes will pass through the mother's milk. Many humans have a dairy allergy to different substances in cow's milk (lactose intolerance) because cow's milk is not easily digested by a human. Even the calcium in cow's milk is not easily absorbed by humans, and the casein in cheese acts like glue in the human intestines.

Dairy is more than milk – it includes butter, ice cream, cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, whipped cream and more. Fortunately there are tasty non-dairy substitutes for all of these. The Total Health Makeover will teach you which substitutes are healthy and tasty. Most substitutes are vegan, containing no animal derivatives.

Eliminating dairy from your diet will help you lose weight, reduce acne, show your cheekbones and help your digestive system work more efficiently. Try it for 2-3 weeks and see how much better you look – and feel!

Find out more about living dairy-free in the Living Dairy-Free Lesson. This lesson includes some basic information on why you want to eliminate or reduce dairy in your menus, as well as some dairy substitutions to try.


“Milk is nature’s food for a baby calf, which has four stomachs, and will double its weight in forty-seven days.”
