#8 Chocolate milk
This may not seem a good idea, but chocolate milk is an ideal weight-loss beverage. Why? The calcium can help melt belly fat; researchers in Nebraska found that people who consumed 1,000 mg more of calcium lost 18 pounds of flab, and the important nutrient gets absorbed better thanks to milk’s vitamin D. The protein content is filling, and it can be especially helpful if you’re an evening exerciser: research suggests that low-fat chocolate milk is a good beverage to help you recover after a sweat session.
