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 I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
