Drinking two large glasses of milk a day after a weight-lifting training contributes to losing more fat and gaining more muscle according to a McMaster University study.

“Resistance training is not a typical choice of exercise for women,” says Stu Phillips, professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University. “But the health benefits of resistance training are enormous: It boosts strength, bone, muscular and metabolic health in a way that other types of exercise cannot.”

“We expected the gains in muscle mass to be greater, but the size of the fat loss surprised us,” continues Phillips. “We’re still not sure what causes this but we’re investigating that now. It could be the combination of calcium, high-quality protein, and vitamin D may be the key, and. conveniently, all of these nutrients are in milk.”
