Dairy Free With Low Bodyfat Benefits From Dairy?

I know this is more a "dairy free" topic, but it seems a large number of us are also dairy free, especially during the first stages of healing from intestinal damage.

My issue is this: I keep reading articles that talk about how dairy is linked with low body fat. I don't remember all the specifics, but it is something i have read from a number of different healthy sources/newsletters.

Is there any way to get this benefit without consuming the dairy? I don't think it's the calcium [some amino acid in dairy?]

If anyone has more info on this [the benefits of dairy and body fat more specifically] and also if it is possible to obtain them dairy free [or not!] I'd love to hear more...

For clarification, here's an example of the type of information I am referring to:

Open Original Shared Link

"Zemel looked at 34 obese black women and men who did not eat any more or less food during the 24-week study. Half ate three daily servings of dairy foods in place of lean meat. These people did not lose weight. But they lost nearly five pounds of body fat, gained muscle, had lower blood pressure, and lost an inch and a half around their waists."

Anyone know why this is and if it's possible to replicate without dairy?

I've exercised a lot over the years and have been an advocate of using low fat milk after a workout to help promote muscle growth. Read a article a few sundays back by one of the medical docs who writes for the paper and they backed up what I have been doing. They said to stay away from the so called power energy drinks, drink regular water while you are exercising and drink a large glass of low fat milk after you exercise. They also backed up what Spunky007 said about losing fat and building muscle. However, I haven't found any non-dairy substitutes. Sorry.

A calcium rich diet is what they mean. They say dairy for the norm because that is easy for people to understand.

Are you sure? I thought I read one of these articles in specific reference to soy vs. cow milk [saying that it was the cows milk that has been linked to promoting lean body mass]...and both of these are sources of calcium...?

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
