YOGURT PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS

Adding yogurt to your diet may rev up your body''s fat-burning engines, speed weight loss, and trim your tummy, according to new research.  Researchers found that obese adults who ate three servings of low-fat, low sugar (less than 20 grams) yogurt a day as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost 22% more weight and 61% more body fat than those who simply cut calories and didn''t increase their calcium intake.  Yogurt eaters also lost 81% more fat in the midsection area than non-yogurt eaters.  Not only did yogurt help the study participants lose more weight, they were about twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass.  In other words, the weight lost was mostly fat instead of lean muscle compared to the non-yogurt group. Researchers say the results add to a growing body of evidence that the calcium and protein derived from eating low-fat dairy products may help burn fat and promote weight loss.
