You may have read in the news and magazines, articles regarding healthy diets and what we should be doing to improve our general health and fitness. You have probably noticed in these articles that many of these stories suggest you should keep your daily intake to the lowest level possible in order to maintain a low fat, healthy lifestyle. Some stories even suggest the removal of dairy from your diet altogether.
A recent study contradicts this popular belief and suggests women who drink two large glasses of milk a day, albeit after a weight-lifting routine, actually gained more muscle and lost additional body fat when compared to those women that drank the more popular sugar based energy drinks
A previous study that showed milk had a similar effect in increasing muscle mass and fat loss in men after weight training was different as the majority of women avoid weight training and are likely to keep away from dairy products based on the idea that dairy foods are high in calories and aid weight gain.
The size of the weight loss throughout the study was surprising. However the cause of this weight loss is still unexplained. The initial findings suggest that it could be the natural ingredients including the combination of calcium, high-quality protein, and vitamin D which are aiding the weight loss.
The study also monitored women that avoided a weight training course. These women only consumed water before their exercise programme and one hour after completing their routine, one group consumed 500ml of fat free milk, the other group consumed 500ml of a sugar-based energy drink.
