61. Three Different Approaches
63. Weight Loss per Week (pounds)
65. The Latest Industry Myth “Dairy products promote weight loss.”
Evidence based solely on mouse studies or experiments using calorie-restricted diets.
Randomized trials adding dairy products to normal diets either have no effect on weight or cause weight gain.
Non-fat milk derives 55% of calories from sugar (lactose.)
Typical cheeses derive approximately 70% of calories from fat, mostly saturated fat.

Legumes (beans, peas, lentils)
Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, spinach, squash, etc.)
Fruits (apples, bananas, pears, cherries, etc.)
