Milk Can Help with Weight Loss

The calcium content and the body’s ability to absorb this calcium is the key to using milk for weight loss. When the body does not get enough calcium, it begins conserving it. This mechanism prompts your body to produce higher levels of a hormone called calcitriol, which prompts the production of fat cells. Without milk and other dairy products, we send the body a signal to make more fat.

Calcitriol in high levels triggers fat cells to store themselves in the body and to expand. When we increase our calcium levels, calcitriol is suppressed and the opposite happens. Fat cells get broken down and digested and those remaining become smaller. A high-dairy diet can boost weight loss by about 70%.

Hartzler’s milk contains more of the enzyme phosphatase, which assimilates calcium into our bodies and therefore provides the best milk option for weight loss. Our milk has a higher enzyme content due to our unique Low-Temperature Vat Pasteurization method.

We are the only dairy in Ohio to pasteurize milk this way!

While skim milk is commonly thought to be healthier and better for weight loss, the milkfat needed to properly digest enzymes and nutrients has been “skimmed” from it. Whole and 2% milk is a better choice not only for weight loss, but because it carries far more health benefits.

The science behind milk and weight loss makes sense. However, milk cannot do the job alone. Calorie restriction, exercise and proper high-nutrition food choices should lead your weight loss efforts. Thankfully you don’t need to eliminate milk from your diet anymore!
