gyms I've not read through the entire thread but thought I'd throw my 2 cents. I pretty much went dairy free about 9 months ago and don't regret it at all. I use almond milk for things like protein shakes etc. Very rarely do I eat any cheese but on occassion I will. I really love ice cream but have found some great alternatives such as coconut ice cream. I have really noticed a big difference in my overall health partially attributed to this change no doubt.
