What is dairy in portion control for weight loss?

-

Definition of Dairy:

It is any food made of milk products of animals, most commonly from cows. The products includes: creams, cheeses and desserts. They are a source of calcium and other vital vitamins, therefore, dairy free weight loss means deficiency in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. so please do not go for dairy free diets and should include dairy in our daily diet.

However, in portion control for weight loss milk that helps you lose weight is low fat milk, similarly low fat yogurt and cheese etc.  There are some people who cannot drink milk or eat dairy products they may go for milk substitutes with added calcium for example taking soya milk.

    Interesting. I don't eat a whole lot of dairy. I guess cheese is my biggest weakness when it comes to dairy.

    I'm sure some vegans would have an opinion on the "need" for diary products. I love cheese and milk, don't think I over do it. Think sugar is more of my problem. Interesting post.

    I do not agree that we should include dairy in every meal. I don't believe that dairy has any benefits that vegetables don't. Better to eat vegetables.
