Staying Lean
Fat doesn’t make you fat. In fact, those who choose full-fat dairy, tend to be leaner than those who choose low-fat options. (2) If the fat is removed, other ingredients are added. This can result in higher amounts of sugar and fewer nutrients. Whole fat is packed with nutrients that help you stay fuller, longer. This slows down your body’s release of sugars and prevents overeating.
Health Benefits
New research also shows many health benefits of full-fat products. It can lower the risk of diabetes, calm the digestive tract, and decreases the chance of heart disease. (2)
