A glass a day

Helps keep the weight at bay

A glass a day

Bring on that skinny cino! New research shows that drinking skim milk could be the key to permanent weight maintenance.

A study at the University of Western Australia confirms that drinking a glass of skim milk with breakfast can help you feel full for longer. The researchers compared people who drank skim milk with those who drank fruit juice in the morning and found that the milk drinkers ate ten per cent less throughout the day. It's thought that the protein in milk helps you feel full.

"While it might not help you lose weight, it seems definitely to suppress the appetite enough to help you keep it off," said lead researcher Dr Emma Dove.

I don't know why magazines say that anyone should drink milk to loose weight! Milk takes a baby calf and makes it four times the size it originally was in a matter or four-five months... so should you really be drinking milk (which contains pus by the way)? Meh, If I wanted to lose weight I wouldnt drink something that makes a baby grow to massive sizes in a matter of months. Common sense women! dont believe everything you read, use your brains and logic....   Report thisReport this

I'm going to use my common sense and not believe what I read in the above comment by April. I love my milk. Babies loves their mum's milk, we love the baby cow's mum's milk. Mmmmm Milk. And once you get used to skinny milk it tastes pretty good too- wish I could lose weight and go back to full cream though!   Report thisReport this

SAD "Milk takes a baby calf and makes it four times the size it originally was in a matter or four-five months" I MEAN SERIOUSLY??? Babies need milk to grow-true, but they don't really have much choice do they? If we were all born with teeth, we would be having our steak with veg the minute we got out of the womb. My grandpa has been drinking a bowl of milk every morning for his 85 years of existance and has the bone density of a 45 year old.. so drink up!!! OH AND HE IS NOT FAT!  Report thisReport this
