Is weight loss treatment right for you? Take the assessment

Most people who think about losing weight aren’t starting from zero. They’re starting from a history of trying. Maybe you’ve counted calories, cut carbs, or stripped the joy out of food altogether. Maybe one of those worked for a while, or maybe none of them did. Before you jump into another plan, it’s worth asking a different question: Not “how do I lose weight fastest?” but “what do I actually need?”

The ultimate guide to protein in milk: choosing the best option for weight loss and muscle

Milk isn’t just “white liquid with calcium.” It’s one of the most complete protein sources in a typical diet and can play a real role in weight loss, muscle maintenance, and overall health.1 A typical 250ml glass of cow’s milk gives you around 8-9g of high-quality protein, mostly from casein and whey.

Is muscle heavier than fat?

A kilo of muscle and a kilo of fat weigh exactly the same. One kilo is one kilo. The real difference is density. Muscle is denser than fat, which means it takes up less space in your body for the same weight. Roughly speaking, human muscle has a density of around 1.06 kg per litre, while fat tissue is closer to 0.9 kg per litre. So a kilo of muscle looks smaller, tighter, and more compact than a kilo of fat.1
