Without actually getting into more detail, not all dairy has fat. Skim milk, for example.

And, seriously, you should not need to take a multi-vitamin with a healthy, well-balanced diet.

But good for you, making a change.

True. And fat-free yogurt with live & active cultures seems to have some interesting health benefits.

you should not need to take a multi-vitamin with a healthy, well-balanced diet

Well, this would be true if (A) crops weren't so often grown in mineral-depleted ground and (B) pollution didn't increase our bodies' need for certain nutrients to deal with it. A good multivitamin/multimineral is probably a good idea, though supplements should be an addition to, rather than a replacement for, good nutrition.

But good for you, making a change.

Ditto!

All the contradictory advice can be confusing and it's terribly easy to fall back into unhealthy patterns (says the woman who ate waaay too much pizza last night). But you will find a healthier way to live. I've got faith in you, Skye!

I know low fat dairy is a good thing, but I rarely drink milk and hate yogurt so I tend to eat lots of cheese. About this time last year I gave up all dairy for a week or so and I didn't feel so congested, so I think that cutting back on dairy would be a good thing.

I don't takea multivitamin now and I know I should. I buy them and then forget to take them. This is something else I talk to the dr about at my physical.

See, but my point is that you shouldn't have to take a multi-vitamin with a proper diet.

And if you go no dairy (which, hey, lots of people don't like it) you really should take a calcium supplement. Too many women don't get enough and you are in prime bone building years.
