Whether it came in a bottle, packet, or straight from the farm, it was usually from a cow, or in some cases, a goat or camel, depending on where you lived. It wasn\u2019t from a plant, seed, or nuts. However, today, when you walk through your local grocery store aisles, you may find multiple dairy alternatives that claim to be the secret to weight loss. Trying to figure out which type of milk is best for weight loss can be quite daunting if you don\u2019t know the health benefits of these alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=which_milk_is_best_for_weight_loss&quot;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;video autoplay=&quot;autoplay&quot; loop=&quot;loop&quot; muted=&quot;muted&quot; playsinline=&quot;playsinline&quot; width=&quot;777&quot;&gt;&lt;source src=&quot;&quot;https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4&quot;&quot; type=&quot;video\/mp4&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/video&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:256,&quot;11&quot;:3}\" data-sheets-formula=\"=replace(R[-12]C[0],SEARCH(&quot;LINK TO QUIZ&quot;,R[-12]C[0]),LEN(&quot;LINK TO QUIZ&quot;),R8C[0])\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=which_milk_is_best_for_weight_loss\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Best_Milk_Alternative_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>What Is the Best Milk Alternative for Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Milk alternative options appear limitless, and they\u2019re often made from plants, nuts, or seeds. These alternatives are made by grinding a bean or nut, then adding water, flavors, vitamins, and minerals. The nutrients and amount of sugar in each plant-based alternative vary considerably based on how they are produced and what has been added.

For faster weight loss results, choose the unsweetened version as it doesn\u2019t have any unhealthy added sugars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the best milk alternative for weight loss, our pick is unsweetened almond milk as it is readily available wherever you are, has a better taste than some other kinds of milk, and is relatively low in calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe is your fast-track ticket to a long-lasting weight loss! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=which_milk_is_best_for_weight_loss\">Tailor your fitness journey and maximize your results <\/a> with just a couple of swipes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oat_Milk_vs_Almond_Milk_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Oat Milk vs. Almond Milk for Weight Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine which of these two milks is the best for weight loss, we must first compare the nutritional value a cup of each provides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">244g of unsweetened almond milk has: calories: 36.6, fats: 3 g, proteins: 1 g, carbohydrates: 1 g, calcium: 481 mg, and dietary fiber 0 g (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/2479376\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), while 244 g of oat milk contains: calories: 120, fats: 5 g, proteins: 3 g, carbohydrates: 16 g, calcium: 350 mg, and dietary fiber 2 g (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/oat-milk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The almond derivative is low in calories, but it is also low in all other nutrients compared to oat milk. In terms of calories alone, the almond option appears to be the best milk for weight loss as its competition has almost 3.3 times more calories per cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, when you take a look at the nutrient count, there is little difference in the amount of protein and fats, but there is a significant difference in terms of carbohydrates. While the carbs found in oats are complex carbs that are essential to your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fasting-diet-for-men-2\/\">diet<\/a> and health, anyone who\u2019s following a low-carb diet weight loss journey may want to keep an eye on their carb intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these facts in mind, we suggest almond milk due to its very low number of calories per serving when it comes to oat milk vs. almond milk for weight loss. You can make either of these two options at home if they\u2019re too expensive at the grocery store. However, it\u2019s important to remember that the pre-packaged options are usually fortified with nutrients and minerals that will not be present in your homemade version.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Almond_Milk_vs_Whole_Milk_for_Weight_Loss_Which_Is_Better\"><\/span><b>Almond Milk vs. Whole Milk for Weight Loss: Which Is Better?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone who is looking to cut their calorie intake for weight loss, choosing plant-based milk for their diet can be a step in the right direction. This is because when you compare the calories in these two options, whole milk has 4 times more (149 calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1097512\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)) the amount of energy that is found in almond milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that whole milk has more protein, which is essential in weight loss, appetite suppression, and muscle growth. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/746782\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) However, depending on how many calories you consume and how much exercise you do each day, it may be a good idea to stick to the plant-based option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor to note is that not all almond milk is made the same; some brands have added sugars for shelf-life longevity and flavor. Make sure to always stop and read the ingredient label on your packet for nutrition facts to make sure you pick the healthiest version available. The easiest way to do this is to opt for an unsweetened almond drink instead of tastier options such as those with chocolate or vanilla flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Choose_Low-Fat_Milk\"><\/span><b>Should You Choose Low-Fat Milk?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you choose low-fat milk over whole milk and plant-based alternatives? If you\u2019re looking to shed some extra weight and aren\u2019t willing to go for plant-based alternatives, then low-fat milk could be the next best thing. Giving up full-fat milk for a low-fat option could help you lose weight and it may lower the risk of heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason behind this is that whole milk and whole-fat dairy options primarily contain saturated fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/is-low-fat-or-full-fat-the-better-choice-for-dairy-products\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Saturated fats are fats that have all single bonds between their molecules. These bonds are \u201csaturated\u201d with hydrogen molecules, which tend to solidify at room temperature. They can be found in other foods such as <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cheese-on-keto\/\">cheese<\/a>, butter, icecream, and high-fat cuts of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cauliflower-steak\/\">meat<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/fats\/saturated-fats\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). A high intake of saturated fats is associated with risk factors for heart disease, such as increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is sometimes known as \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-fat milk is also a great way to get all the minerals and nutrients found in whole milk without extra calories. One cup of low-fat 1% milk has 102 cals, carbs: 12.2 g, fats: 2.37 g, proteins: 8.22 g, and calcium: 305 g (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1097520\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Low-fat milk is still higher in calories than most plant, nut, and seed options, but it\u2019s also higher in protein.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Read more: <\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/raw-milk-benefits\/\"><i>Raw Milk Benefits: Will the Advantages Outweigh the Potential Risks?<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Oat_Milk_Good_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Is Oat Milk Good for Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to its high number of calories, it may not be the best option for weight loss. Instead of oat milk, it\u2019s best to opt for other plant-based options with a lower calorie count. Despite its high-calorie count, oat milk has many other benefits, including (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/oat-milk-nutrition-facts-4771939\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It tastes better than other plant, nut, and seed-based alternatives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has a smaller environmental impact than almond milk<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may help combat cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps lower levels of LDL \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol in your body<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s an excellent alternative for anyone who has a casein allergy or is lactose intolerant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s higher in protein than many milk alternatives, which helps in muscle growth and repair while keeping your hair and nails healthy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has calcium, which is essential for bone health and macronutrients such as folate, which make red and white blood cells in the bone marrow<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to which milk is best for weight loss, despite its many other health benefits, oat milk falls short due to its high calorie content.

That being said, this doesn\u2019t mean you should ignore dairy and never drink it again. Unless you have lactose intolerance or a casein allergy, this option is perfectly okay. The trick is to watch your intake. Instead of drinking whole milk every day of the week, you can alternate it with plant-based or low-fat milk options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cow&#8217;s milk is incredibly nutritious for both children and adults as it\u2019s naturally rich in calcium and B vitamins (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/746782\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). It\u2019s also important to note that while almond milk is great for our bodies and is a fantastic low-calorie option, it isn\u2019t considered an environmentally sustainable crop. Its production requires a great deal of water and pesticide use, which is quickly causing long-lasting and devastating effects on the environment in drought-stricken California, which is where over 80% of the world\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/almond-oil-for-hair\/\">almonds<\/a> are grown (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ucsf.edu\/1.713\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=which_milk_is_best_for_weight_loss\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/101.png\" alt=\"which milk is best for weight loss\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Plant-based_Milk_Healthier\"><\/span><b>Is Plant-based Milk Healthier?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of nutrients, it depends on what choice you make. Some alternatives contain virtually the same amount of vitamins and minerals as cow&#8217;s milk, while others fall far shorter (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/plant-milk-or-cows-milk-which-is-better-for-you\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). If your desired option doesn\u2019t provide you with the necessary nutrients, i.e. calcium and vitamin D, you can always get them from fruits and vegetables, and in the case of Vitamin D, from exposure to the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Read more: <\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/whey-vs-casein\/\"><i>Whey Vs Casein: Your Ultimate Guide to Milk-Derived Protein Powders<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><b>FAQs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_should_you_drink_milk_for_weight_loss\"><\/span><strong>How often should you drink milk for weight loss?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to plant-based options, there\u2019s no specific recommendation regarding how much or how often you should drink these alternatives. As most of these options are relatively low in calories and have little to no saturated fats, you can safely drink several cups (possibly up to 3 cups) a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the most important factor to note is whether your intake of calories from milk fits into your total caloric requirement for the day. You should always use a reputable calorie-counting app to keep track of your calorie, carb, fat, and protein intake for the day. In this way, you can safely drink your plant, nut, or seed milk without jeopardizing your energy intake and weight loss goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_drink_milk_for_weight_loss\"><\/span><strong>When is the best time to drink milk for weight loss?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can generally be consumed at any time of the day and even at night to help lull you to sleep. However, in order to see the maximum benefits, it\u2019s best to drink a glass after a workout to help replenish your body with protein, which helps with muscle repair and growth (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30379113\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_drinking_milk_for_weight_loss\"><\/span><strong>What are the benefits of drinking milk for weight loss?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most kinds of milk, plant-based or otherwise, contain protein. When consumed, protein-rich foods affect the hunger hormone ghrelin by reducing it. When this hormone is suppressed, you\u2019re less likely to snack or overeat, thereby keeping your calorie intake low.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein supports muscle growth, which boosts your metabolism. A pound of muscle burns six to seven calories a day at rest, which is three times more than that which is burned by a pound of fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/how-many-calories-does-muscle-really-burn-1231074\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This means that the more muscle you have, the more calories you expend, even when you\u2019re not working out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-fat and plant-based milk options are also low in calories, which may help you stay in a daily calorie deficit.

Many brands and companies add sugars to their products to ensure they have a longer shelf life, but added sugars will only serve to promote weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what option you choose to help you with your weight loss journey, make sure you always track your calories to make sure you remain within your recommended caloric intake for the day. In addition, milk alone will not help you shed unwanted pounds. An overall healthy diet that provides a slight <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/caloric-deficit\/\">caloric deficit<\/a> every day is far more important than your choice of milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also exercise for at least 30 minutes, five to six times a week.
