Eat Yogurt, Burn Fat
Eating calcium-rich fat-free yogurt as part of a reduced calorie diet may boost our bodies’ fat-burning mechanism, leading to faster weight loss and a reduction in STOMACH FAT.
Excess abdominal fat is thought to increase our risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. In a 12-week study of 34 obese adults, researchers from the University of Tennessee studied the effect of adding yogurt to a reduced-calorie diet. The group that consumed 1,100mg of calcium a day, which included three servings of fat-free yogurt, lost 22% more weight, 61% more body fat and 81% more stomach fat than those who followed the low calorie diet without the yogurt.
The study, supported by General Mills, makers of Yoplait yogurt, appears in April’s International Journal of Obesity.
One good way to eat yogurt, apart from straight from the pot, is to make a refreshing smoothie. Try a Banana Mango Smoothie or a Berry Smoothie or make up your own.
