Milk: An Athlete's Dream

Fat Free milk is often forgot about in most diets but can be a great source for any person interested in weight loss and having toned muscles. Not only is it rich in calcium did you know that 1 cup of milk has about 8.7 grams of protein. Also diary is a natural fat burner and triggers the most stubborn fat(that around the midsection).

There is a popular add campaign brought about from "Got Milk" called "milk your diet" where sources claim that 27 oz of milk a day could help you lose weight as opposed to the the recommended 8 oz a day. Milk has so much protein that it is no guess why it is a dieters favorite.

Milk also is great for rebuilding muscles after exercise which makes it a great post-exercise drink. For additional details on this study see "Got Milk?" .
