I haven't been able to find any literature to support my assertions but I can describe my own personal experience. I have noticed that when I eat dairy products along with a normal (healthy) diet I do tend to lose weight. The effects are quantitatively noticeable even after a day as I would lose 1-2 pounds.

I think this is mainly due to the resultant diarrhoea, and consequently the loss of water and the body not absorbing as much of the nutrients as it normally would. Hence the weight loss.

If anyone does find any literature to support this, please post it.
