In this issue of the International Journal of Obesity , proved that consumption of yogurt can turn on the body's fat-burning machine. In addition, add yogurt in our daily consumption can also accelerate weight loss and shrink the stomach.
Researchers compared the effects of adding yogurt in a low-calorie diet on weight loss. A total of 34 healthy adults who were obese were divided into two groups to undergo a 12-week trial.
The first group ate three servings of low-fat yogurt each measuring 170 grams. Yogurt gives about 1,100 mg of calcium per day. Meanwhile, the other group consumed a serving of dairy products containing 400-500 mg of calcium per day.
Second group ate a controlled diet to stimulate weight loss. Calories 500 kcal lower than normal. Hence, all participants weight down. However, it appears that the weight loss and fat more common in the group who ate yogurt.
If the group who consumed dairy products reduced by an average of five kg of weight, participants who ate yogurt decline reaching more than 6.3 kg. Body fat yogurt group also fell 61% more, while 81% reduced fat belly more.
Belly fat is the most dangerous type of fat. Excess fat in this area is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.
In addition to losing weight and burning fat, yogurt is also twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass. It is important when dieting. We want to lose fat, not muscle. Muscle helps burn calories, but it is often compromised when losing weight.
However, researchers have not identified the assessed scientific reason behind the fat-burning effect. For many people in the scientific community, it is hard to believe the efficacy of calcium and dairy protein without understanding the mechanisms that play a role in decreasing body fat.
To benefit optimally weight loss, choose low-fat yogurt. You can add low-calorie toppings such as fresh fruit pieces, nuts, or chocolate chips.
