The high levels of Calcium and Vitamin D found in milk may help people who are dieting lose more weight. More than 300 participants were examined who were overweight or at risk of becoming overweight over a period of 2 years. The study results showed that after adjusting for age, gender, Body Mass Index, and total fat intake, participants with higher intake of milk-based calcium and serum vitamin D (about 12 oz per day) experienced greater weight loss than those who consumed a half-glass of milk per day. However, the role of dairy products in weight loss is not well understood and more research is needed.
