Q: Is there a link between milk and weight loss

A: It’s unclear if increasing the amount of dairy products you eat and drink will help you lose weight. Some studies indicate that people who add dairy products into a reduced-calorie diet lose more weight than those who cut back on their calories but consume little or no dairy. Other studies have concluded there’s no effect on weight loss.

 

Some research suggests that drinking more milk may help some people lose weight because dairy products contain certain substances — including calcium — that may help regulate weight loss. But much more research is needed to determine what role, if any, milk and other dairy products may play in weight loss.
