Milk Weight Loss Diets

The Milk Weight Loss Diet isn't for everyone. There are, however, many benefits in following the Milk Diet. It has helped many individuals lose stubborn weight. Describing this diet as a milk diet is somewhat misleading, but milk can be used to aid the dieter in losing weight.

  1. Following a Calcium-Rich Diet Plan

    • According to the American Diabetic Association, getting at least three servings of milk a day can help provide nutritional support needed for healthy and effective weight loss. New research suggests that drinking milk may help promote loss of body fat. It can also help in promoting healthy muscle gain. Experts agree that lowering dairy food intake as a method of lowering caloric intake is a terrible idea, because it is not only bad for your bones, but it may make it more difficult for dieters to lose weight all together.

      It is recommended that people who wish to lose weight drink three 8-ounce glasses of milk a day. Some people suggest drinking more than 24 ounces of milk a day, but this can actually be detrimental to your health.

    Calcium and Weight Loss

    • Milk is, of course, a great source of calcium, so if you're trying to increase your calcium intake, milk is an excellent way to do it. According to the Science Daily News website, boosting calcium consumption can boost weight loss. It seems that when the body realizes that it has a calcium deficiency, it naturally compensates by increasing food cravings. Experts agree that consuming enough calcium is important for weight loss success.

    Calcium Lowers Cardiovascular Risk in Dieters

    • According to a study published in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 63 women were enrolled in the study, each with a body mass index of 30 or more. Each women participated in a 15-week low-calorie diet. In the beginning of the study, each woman's calcium intake was 700 mg a day. At the end of the study, researchers saw that cholesterol levels were lowered, which suggests that the cardiovascular risk may be lowered with increased calcium intake. Experts agree that implementing a calcium and a vitamin D supplement into a weight loss program can help with overall weight loss.
