OK. I don't know if anyone will even see this since it is so far back, but I was reading through all the pages ( I'm new here), and saw this and yes Grace, you are right. I've heard a lot about calcium helping you lose weight. And you dont have to eat fatty stuff to get it either. 1 cup of skim milk has 90 calories in it, no fat, and 30% calcium (D.V.). Lots of things I have read say to get 3 cups of milk a day and this will help, as long as you count those (less than 300) calories toward your total limit for the day. (:
