Weight Loss Benefits from Morning Milk
Results of a new study show that drinking fat-free milk, rather than juice for breakfast, can help cut calories at lunchtime and contribute to overall weight loss. Researchers recently studied 34 overweight individuals, finding the group consumed 50 fewer calories at lunchtime. They found that drinking fat free milk allowed the group to feel fuller and more satisfied longer, leading to less calorie consumption at lunch. Drinking fat free milk in the morning may help with weight loss.
The men and women in the study consumed either twenty ounces of fat-free milk or the same amount of juice for breakfast, each equaling about 250 calories.
