I'm on a fat‑loss journey and following a low‑carb diet. I try to get my proteins and other nutrients from whole foods, but I'm not sure about including milk. Can anyone suggest a good low‑fat milk for my routine? Is regular low‑fat milk available in the market? Any recommendations would help.

Soya milk is lower in calories and has some protein – you can have it with high‑protein, high‑fiber oats.

You don't need to cut carbs for fat loss. If you prefer low carbs that's fine, but the key is an overall calorie deficit. No need to forcefully eliminate carbs.

I just drink a 500 ml packet for about 30 rupees, giving me 15 g protein – I can't afford fancy milk gimmicks.

You can get Mother Dairy (1.5 % fat), Prabhat (about 1.3 % fat, mainly in Maharashtra), Govardhan Lite (1.5 % fat) and Amul Slim‑n‑Trim packets (1.5 % fat). I use any of these, but I usually pick Prabhat because it's cheap – around Rs 42 per litre.

Milk fats are actually healthy; even the saturated part is being shown to benefit the heart. Milk also provides fat‑soluble vitamins like D and K2, which many Indians lack. It adds fullness, richness and energy. You need enough fats for hormone production, and a glass of milk at night helps with that. The healthy fats in milk also improve your sat‑unsat ratio, so consider these points when comparing full‑fat and 1.5 % milk.
