  A liter of milk (just under 1/3 of a gallon) contains 32 grams of protein coming from two primary sources: casein and whey. The two of these are hands down the best kind of protein your body can get.

You can get it at any store and it’s relatively cheap considering the amount of protein you get. It’s great for drinking at night to keep the body out of a catabolic state and can even benefit your sleeping pattern!

So don’t buy a protein shake, save your money and drink milk. It is the best!

Check out this study:
At the study start, the researchers measured each participant’s body composition, noting the amount of lean mass and fat mass. They repeated the measurements at the end of the study.

The milk drinkers gained the most muscle. “The gains of muscle in the milk group were 8.8 pounds, vs. 6 pounds for the soy group, vs. 5.3 pounds for the control group [drinking the carbohydrate drink],” says Phillips. “The group that drank the milk gained 60% more muscle than the carbohydrate group and 40% more than the soy group,” Phillips says.

Those who drank milk also had more strength gains than the other two groups in two kinds of individual exercises: knee extensions and hamstring curls.

The milk drinkers also lost more body fat. “They lost almost 2 pounds of body fat,” he says. “The soy group barely changed in terms of body fat. It was about a third of a pound. In the control group (the carbohydrate drinkers) it was about a pound of body fat lost.”

Isn’t it great? Lets drink more milk, we will loose weight plus it may improve our health.
