Results from a study published in the July issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggest that drinking a glass of skim milk with breakfast may help you stay full longer. The 34 overweight study participants consumed a fixed calorie breakfast and either a glass of skim milk for two weeks, and then a week apart, two weeks with a glass of fruit juice. Study participants rated their satiety or “fullness” throughout the morning. Four hours after breakfast, they ate whatever they wanted for lunch, and calorie intake was measured. Participants consumed about eight percent fewer calories at lunch after drinking skim milk versus following fruit juice. Ratings of fullness following milk consumption were higher throughout the morning. Findings suggest that drinking skim milk with breakfast may help stave off hunger longer, and lead to more success while trying to control weight.
