While I visited my gym yesterday I met one of my friends who asked me something which he read somewhere. He read that if you drink 24oz of fat free milk a day it will help you loose weight. Have you read something like this too?

Here is the answer what I told him.

There are several things about milk that people do not know. When FDA passed the law that said all foods and beverages must list their nutrition breakdown in labels on the outside of packages, they gave the diary industry an exemption on how they list their fat content. The diary industry was allowed to list their fat content based on the fats weight in water versus what is actually in the carton. Well, fat weighs next to nothing in water, so what does that mean?

It means that 2% milk isn't actually 2% at all. If calculated like every other product has to, would be closer to 32% fat. Whole milk is scarier, and can go up to around 60%!? 60% of what you are drinking is pure fat.

Even skim or fat free milk is not actually fat free and can range anywhere from 5-15% fat.

There's nothing magical about the milk that increases your likelihood of weight loss. It's just a way to get what you need.

skimmed milk has virtualy no fat. powdered milk like marvel is virtualy fat free. you dont get powdered fat. same with red top. as far as i no. ive been drinkin at least 3 pints of red top a day for years

I drink blue top all the time!
im really not that worried about the fat in it tbh as i think red top doesnt taste of anything and green tops a bit lacking in the taste department too!

i drink about two pints off green top a day and i was on red top for a while, just takes a bit of getting used to. i just look at it as a little extra protein. the fat content never bothers me either

bad idea drinking blue top. its just liquid fat mate. mess loads of fat in blue top and if your trying to get lean thats no good. red top is good just drink it lol. put some protien powder in it to flavior it. also its saturated fats. aint milk brilliant

That is just a load of rubbish mate.

Can I eat 24000 calories a day and b obese but by simply drinking 24 oz milk a day, and thus increasing my cals further, lose weight?

I am consuming say 3000 cals a day and my bodyweight is stable, by drinking 24 oz milk a day, and thus increasing my cals further, lose weight?


Erm in a word NO!
