Increased dairy consumption associated with body weight reduction

20-week study

During the study, 117 women and men, aged 36 years and over, were enrolled in a lifestyle change program during 20 weeks. This program included in particular dietary advice based on dairy products and physical activity.

0.4 portions more of a dairy product per day

The authors reveal that in the group with the greatest weight loss, there was an increase in the consumption of dairy products, fruits and vegetables. A closer analysis shows that an increase of 0.4 portions of a dairy product per day has an impact of 9.6% on the loss of one kg/m2 of BMI.
