The Dairy Group is absolutely moovelous for anyone attempting to drop unwanted weight.

By now, everyone on the planet is aware that milk drinkers tend to weigh less than non-milk drinkers AND that drinking 3 cups of milk per day can actually assist in dropping those unwanted pounds.

The key is opting for skim dairy products which can save you tons of fat and calories. For example, a slice of good old cheddar cheese contains about 100 calories.

A slice of skim mozzarella contains 60 calories. Another example - milk. One cup of skim milk contains 80 calories while 1 cup of whole milk contains double the calories - 160 to be exacto.

 

What is a Serving Size in the Dairy Group?

Dairy - Milk, Yogurt, Cheese:

1 cup milk

1 cup yogurt

1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese

2 ounces of processed cheese

2 cups cottage cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup frozen yogurt

1 1/2 cups ice cream

Weight Loss Tip: While on a weight loss plan, it's a great idea to find a hot and a cold drinking container that you can use throughout the day. Measure how much the container holds by using a measuring cup and water. That way, when you pour drinks from larger containers, then you will automatically know how high to pour the beverage to meet the recommended serving size.

In addition, you'll be assuring that you aren't using a container that holds two to three times the recommended serving size; a glass and a cup do not equal the same measurements as a glass may be of any size.
