is it true that drinking milk helps you lose weight?

Calorie deficits lose weight.

The only way I know of that milk helps is that a cup of milk has protein, fat, calories, carbs, all that stuff. If you're hungry and you drink 8 oz of milk your body will recognize that it's been fed and shut off the desire for food.

well i dont eat a whole lot of calories anyways...

and ive been drinking milk almost like its water... not quite the same quantity as water... i drink about 400 oz. of water a day, but i do go through a gal. of milk every 3 days...

Some studies have shown recently that there is a correlation between high levels of caclcium in your system and losing weight. I don't know if this means that milk will make you lose weight, but (skim) milk is pretty good for you anyway, so why not drink it?

ive been drinking 2%
is skim 1%?

No, skim is non-fat 0%

uh...neon...a gallon of 2% milk is a lot of calories...a balanced diet...say 1800 calories or so per day plus some exercise to burn off the calories is your best bet

Milk is one of my fav things. I drink skim or 1%. Probably would drink it like water, if I didn't think of getting calcium overload, hah.

uh...neon...a gallon of 2% milk is a lot of calories...a balanced diet...say 1800 calories or so per day plus some exercise to burn off the calories is your best bet

...im anorexic and i eat about 500- 800 calories a day


and of course i am getting help for it, but you cant quite do it over night, nor jump from that few calories to 1800...

my stomach cant handle that...

NeonBlack, I'm glad to see you are getting help. My sister had a battle with anorexia a couple of years ago, so I know what kind of a toll it can take on a person. Just remember there is hope! Now my sis is doing great, she got married this year and just had a baby, and she couldn't be happier. And none of that good stuff would have happened if she hadn't gotten treatment.

Its the combo of calcium and magesium I believe that helps one loose weight. I drink milk some.. skim only but I be sure to take a suppliment with both Cal and mag in it. Calcium is healthy for your bones as well and as women, later in life, we need all the help we can get for our bones to help us fight off osteoperosis (sp)
