Drinking milk will not make you fat. Some people seldom or even don't drink milk at ordinary times, because they think milk is rich in fat and calories, and they are worried that drinking it will make them fat, or it will be bad for losing weight. In fact, drinking milk will not only make people fat, but also help to control and lose weight.

In recent years, many foreign studies have shown that drinking milk will not lead to obesity mainly based on the following points:

First, calcium in milk can indirectly inhibit weight. Medical research has confirmed that the human body needs quantitative calcium. Without a steady supply of calcium in the blood, the body will release a hormone, which will make the body produce more fat and will not decompose the existing fat, so the body will easily get fat. Milk is rich in calcium and is easily absorbed by the human body. Getting enough calcium from it every day can inhibit the release of hormones that make people fat and help to inhibit fat accumulation. A study by Boston University School of Medicine shows that drinking two cups of milk (225ml each) every day can effectively reduce the incidence of obesity among adolescents.

Secondly, milk is not a high-fat food. The fat content in milk is not high, generally accounting for about 3.4%, which can provide a certain amount of heat for the human body. It is estimated that 1 g fat can be completely absorbed by human body, releasing 9 kilocalories. If each person drinks 250 grams of whole milk every day, it can provide about 70 kilocalories for the human body. In fact, most mental workers need about 2000 kilocalories a day, and manual workers need 2000 ~ 3000 kilocalories. This shows that drinking milk gets very little calories. Some experts believe that the elderly drinking 250 grams of whole milk every day will not lead to obesity; Teenagers can drink 500 grams of milk every day because of their growth and development needs, without worrying about getting fat.

Thirdly, milk contains heat-resistant low molecular compounds, which can inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol; Calcium in milk can also reduce the absorption of cholesterol. Therefore, drinking milk will not increase blood lipids, but also has a certain lipid-lowering effect. In addition, drinking milk is easy to produce satiety, which helps to suppress appetite and control food intake, and is also conducive to weight loss. Therefore, it is beneficial for obese people with hyperlipidemia to drink milk in moderation.

In short, there is no need to worry about the threat of drinking milk to your weight. And simple calorie intake is not the root cause of obesity. Bad living habits, such as overeating and lack of exercise, lead to the inability to consume fat, which is the key to the problem.
