Is there negatives for getting a lot of dairy in your diet?

Here is one suggestion I'll make, as I get a lot of my protein from dairy also.
I buy plain, fat-free yogurt in the large tubs because it is the cheapest. I add half a scoop of vanilla protein powder and some cinnamon and sweetener (honey or whatever you like). Now that I've moved onto eating this way, the presweetened packages taste too *fake*.
I also eat the Breakstone 2% cottage cheese in the individual serving size tubs. There is no other cottage cheese for me, I've tried about every kind out there and this is what I like. The individual tubs make it even better.
Pair your dairy protein with a fruit and/or veggies. I eat a banana with one dairy protein and an apple or orange with the other. Then I add a serving of celery (with the cottage cheese) and a serving of baby carrots. I pack the same snacks every single day. Boring, but I like it and it makes shopping easy.
You could throw in a handful of almonds or walnuts to one of these snacks and it would really help with the healthy fats you need, too.
