When I ate cottage cheese for breakfast - trying to up my protein level consumption - I inadvertently lost weight. Now I know why!

PS> Apparently Richard Nixon would eat cottage cheese when HE needed to lose weight my friend shares with me in the comment section! I guess it all makes sense now.

Studies* have shown that including dairy calcium in your diet increases weight loss, sometimes dramatically. It also reduces body fat percentage. Dieters who cannot digest lactose may still benefit by including other forms of calcium in their diet or use supplementation, although with less spectacular results.

Calcium is found in salmon, sardines, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, figs, almonds, dark leafy vegetables -- and of course dairy products. However, if you are dairy intolerant, drinking milk will produce allergic reactions that increase mucus, which make it difficult to lose weight. Dieters may still be able to eat low lactose foods like hard cheeses or cottage cheese.

Adults need roughly 800-1500 mg of calcium per day. We would be hard pressed to consume as much as our Stone Age forebears -- 2000-3000 mg per day (Heaney and Barger-Lux, 1994).
