If you could only eat one dairy product for the rest of your life, Greek yogurt should be it. While all dairy products have protein, few have the versatility or wide plethora of health benefits that yogurt carries. It can literally transform from a morning staple to a marinade in a matter of minutes it's pretty amazing! It's also one of the few sources of probiotics you'll find in the dairy section of the supermarket. Probiotics help create an environment where the good bacteria can flourish. Why's that matter? When your good gut bugs get taken down by antibiotics and junk food, you're more susceptible to inflammation that can lead to weight gain.

And yogurt-specific studies strengthen these findings. One group of researchers found that dieters who consume yogurt retain more of their lean muscle mass than those who don't include the tangy treat in their diets. That's major news because the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn at rest and the easier it will be to lose weight and keep it off.
