Eating and drinking

In the Lansing State Journal, they had an article called 'Cut the fat in 2012.'  Two examples:

Drink Chocolate Milk
McMaster University researchers compared the effects of downing low-fat chocolate milk, fat-free soy protein drink, and a traditional carbohydrate recovery drink after exercise.  Not only did the milk drinkers gain more muscle than those who drank the soy and carbohydrate beverages, but they also lost twice as much fat.

Say Yes to Yogurt
A study in the International Journal of Obesity found that eating yogurt as part of a low-calorie diet may help burn more fat.  People who tucked in three 1-cup servings a day lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more fat than those who dieted without including yogurt.  Even better, most of the fat was lost from the belly.

Yes, there are studies to support all sorts of eating ... but isn't it nice when they're in favor of things you already like?
