People who consume more low-fat dairy products have less body fat than the general population. The calcium intake from dairy products is twice as effective as that from other sources, as milk contains amino acids that promote muscle growth. Usually, one-third of the weight loss is muscle. Amino acids help in muscle formation, and after consuming dairy products, more fat can be lost rather than muscle.
