Milk: The Miracle Weight Loss Drink

Ah yes, milk. A good source of calcium, a good source of certain vitamins, and it is even a good source of protein. But, apparently, that's not all. Milk also happens to be the miracle weight loss drink.

Apparently.

I've been seeing lately this commercial for milk, or more specifically, the website 2424milk .com. maybe you have seen it? The 2424 "State" for "24 ounces of low fat or fat free milk every 24 hours."
Each commercial states pretty much the same thing that their website does. And that is that! Drinking milk, as part of a reduced calorie diet, you will lose weight.

Wait a minute. I repeat that....

The number of calories in your diet … reduce them and then drink 24 ounces of low fat/fat free milk a day ... it will lead to weight loss.

I do not know who is behind this entire ad campaign, but I'd put my money on the same geniuses who brought us Special K cereal: The miracle diet food. Their whole thing was that eating Special K cereal, as part of a reduced calorie diet, helps you lose weight.

Well, guess what? A McDonald's cheeseburger, as part of a reduced calorie diet, you lose weight.

Banging your head against a wall, as part of a reduced calorie diet, you will lose weight.

It is not the milk, it is not the Special K, it's not the cheeseburger, and it's not the head banging …, it is the part "reduced calorie diet". That's it. Consume fewer calories than your body needs and you lose weight.

Each food and drink on the planet could make the exact same claim that milk does here.

And just to clarify, I'm not anti-milk. Milk is far from bad. I'm just, ya ' know, anti-BS. And this 2424milk thing is pure BS. Actually, mention anything next to "exercise" and "reduced calorie diet" when discussing weight loss is BS pretty much every time.

Oh my God, you know what I realized? What if you eat your Special K cereal ...IN A BOWL OF MILK? Holy crap, you can immediately drop 50 pounds! There should really be a kind of warning about combining these products. "Can produce extreme amounts of weight loss … as part of a reduced calorie diet. "
