Yes, you can actually lose weight by drinking full fat milk. A new Swedish study, contrary to the popular beliefs, claims that fat encourages calcium intake. The study says:
The startling result was based on interviews with almost 20,000 women whose dietary habits have been tracked since 1987.
When the study began, the women had an average body mass index (BMI) of 23.7. Ten years later, the women who had regularly consumed full fat milk or cheese had a lower BMI than the rest of the group.
A glass of full fat milk every day will, according to the researchers, result in 15 percent less weight gain. But full fat cheese was an even more effective slimming product: one portion a day resulted in 30 percent less weight gain.
