What about drinking milk makes you lose weight?

Question:

I'm pretty sure we've all seen the adds on TV that tells us that drinking 24 ounces of milk a day and exercising will help us lose weight. Does anyone know what about milk helps us lose weight? I like to know how things work, and why they do what they do, without just following the new fad.

Answers:
Milk will actually slow your motabolism due to the high quantity of fat which is why many people drink it prior to bedtime, it slows them down and helps them get sleep.

When milk digests it forms a layer of mucus throughout your body giving you a slightly bloated look and the added fat is not desirable.

I suspect the adds were a bit misleading at best. In the works of Arnold Schwartznager, "Milk is for baby cows not for adult humans".

Other Answers:
It's a good source of protein. Protein increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more calories.

ya if you drink only milk and not eat anything else . exercise could help

Sad to say that was hype by the milk companies to gain sales of their product. BUYER BEWARE! The study showed people drank milk, but that was not the deciding factor in loosing the weight. In fact, if you drink a lot of high fat milk, you gain weight. Best to have low fat, not much and get calcium from other things. Many people have milk allergies.

Milk is fattening.

eat nonfat yogurt and drink nonfat milk that will help alot better.also calcium is a fat burner that helps your body burn it off easier.

its not true. in fact for people who are lactose intolerant you will most likely slow your metabolism which can make you gain weight.

What you have to do is make your weight loss part of just having a healthier lifestyle.

Diet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.

The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.

There will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.
They are:

1. Your Eating
2. Your Water Intake
3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise
4. Smart supplementation
5. Sleeping the best amount of time.

I could give you a long detailed explanation but you can find each one of those aspects detailed in the source link.
