Hi,

I think that a lot of the good effects of a diet incorporating dairy is that full cream dairy products are already balanced with the macronutrients, being Fats, Protein and Carbohydrates. This enables the body to get a more even formation of energy, because the fats and proteins slow the digestion and this gives an even rise of blood sugar. Products like milk and yoghurt are also high in moisture – thus it fills you up without a lot of calories/kilojoules.
High-carbohydrate foods tend to cause a fast blood sugar increase and a fast drop – that’s why when you eat cookies or sweets you want more and more and…

By the way a litre of full cream milk has 620 calories; compare that to the 3000 calories that an average man needs for weight maintanance.

Hi,

The weekend is here, my political party won locally, and I’m giving a talk on diet and the role dairy plays in it tomorrow. I even see some research going round about the calcium and protein in dairy preserving muscle while burning off bodyfat. Will keep you updated with some more on this.

Wish me good luck with my talk – don’t want to break a leg though. 😉

Have a great weekend!

Leon
