If you want a quick way to eliminate unnecessary calories and push your physique towards a leaner appearance, you should greatly reduce or eliminate altogether most dairy products.

While you can drink some milk (1 percent or skim) in the winter months, and indulge in an occasional cheese pizza, try to stay away from virtually all dairy products in the Summer to help develop a leaner, more vascular look. Remember that even with 1 percent milk, 70 percent of the calories come from fat. You see, milk is mostly water, but the bulk of its actual calories still come from fat.

While for aesthetic reasons it’s generally preferred that you avoid dairy products in the Summer, it is important to keep your bones strong by supplementing with a high-quality calcium product.
