Aren dairy products fattening?
According to the American Dietetic Association, eating for good health and eating for weight control are virtually the same – both should include a variety of foods from the Food Guide Pyramid. Managing weight is a matter of balancing activity level with total calories in the diet, and there is a wide range of milk, cheese and yogurt products available to help meet caloric targets. In fact, a growing body of research suggests that when coupled with a reduced calorie diet, higher dairy calcium intake is linked with lower body fat in various populations, possibly because higher calcium and dairy calcium intakes help adults burn more fat.
