Fairly recently I accidentally had 3 week stretch of not drinking milk after having 2-4l daily for the past decade.
I got shredded, much sharper cognitively, irritable and stress/cold intolerant lol. I also experienced more energy but in erratic way. I would say overall I was much more active engaging socially. Ever since I restarted milk my attitude change to one of doing only what is neccessary and situationally requiring only. My creativity took a dive also. Yet I am much more relaxed but I wonder is it due calcium or opiates.
I though I would share this and maybe somebody would offer hormonal explanation for these changes.
TL;DR Quit milk, felt younger but less stress resilient.
