The effect of milk consumption on weight loss, body composition, lipids profile and blood pressure was evaluated in a randomized, double‐blind, controlled longitudinal study. 139 women (34 ± 6 y) were assigned to one of the following groups: a) 250mL of low‐fat milk (LFM) 3‐times/day and a calorie restricted diet (‐500 kcal); b) 250mL of low‐fat milk added with micronutrients (LFM+M) 3‐times/day and a calorie restricted diet (‐500 kcal); c) calorie restricted diet (CRD)(‐500 kcal). All treatments were administered for 16 weeks. Weight, height, hip and waist circumferences were measured at 0,4,8,12 and 16 weeks. Body composition and blood pressure were evaluated at 0 and 16 weeks. A fasting blood sample was taken at 0 and 16 weeks to determine lipids profile. 107 women finished the study. ANOVA adjusted for age, initial value and community was used to evaluate the treatment effect. After 16 weeks, LFM+M had significantly more weight loss (‐5.81±3.24 Kg) compared to LFM (‐4.06±3.27 Kg) and CRD (‐4.06±3.25 Kg) (p<0.05). BMI change in LFM+M (‐2.61±1.40 Kg/m2) was significantly different to LFM (‐1.75±1.40 Kg/m2) and CRD (‐1.67±1.39 Kg/m2)(p<0.05). % body fat changes in LFM+M (‐2.67±1.66%) was significantly different to LFM (‐1.79±1.68%) and CRD (‐1.63±1.66%)(p<0.05). No differences were found between groups in waist circumference, blood pressure, and lipids profile. In conclusion, three daily servings of LFM+M together with a calorie restricted diet could be an effective strategy for the treatment of obesity in adult women.
