How/why do dairy foods help you lose more weight and burn more fat?

The mix of nutrients found in dairy foods, especially calcium, may be responsible for helping the body break down and burn fat. Studies have reported that dairy foods exert a significantly greater effect on body weight and fat loss than calcium supplements. While more research is needed to fully understand the dairy and weight loss connection, the unique nutrient package in dairy may be a key contributor to dairy's superior effect. In particular, the distinctive proteins in dairy may explain the greater weight and fat loss when dairy is included in a reduced-calorie diet.
