The dairy industry touts the claim that dairy products promote weight loss. According to Tufts Health Nutrition Letter, " The National Dairy Council's web site lists eight pages of research along those lines but, most of the studies were not controlled clinical trials......The jury's still out on whether dairy consumption actually helps control weight in the absence of a significant reduction in calorie intake....That doesn't mean there aren't other good reasons to eat low or non-fat dairy products. But, remember that consuming whole dairy products can undo possible weight loss benefits. Drinking 3 glasses of whole milk daily, instead of skim, adds more than 200 calories, causing one to put on more than 20 pounds a year."

So, drink low or non-fat milk , Its calories are few. Have your cake and eat it, a small piece will do. Moderation is the key for me as well as you!
