Calcium for Weight Loss?
A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed taht in a group of obese women, those that doubled their intake of calcium (600 mg to 12,00 mg) lost weight compared to control. They didn't modify calorie intake at all, and lose an average of 11 lbs. compared to the other group, which was not getting enough calcium. My favorite form of calcium is unsweetened, organic yogurt.
