Calcium for Weight Loss

According to a study published by the British Journal of Nutrition, boosting calcium consumption spurs weight loss in people if they are calcium deficient. The researchers theory behind this is that the brain can detect their lack of calcium and seeks to compensate by spurring food intake.

This same research team also discovered in an earlier study that women who consumed diets low in calcium had more body fat, bigger waistlines and higher cholesterol levels than those who consumed the recommended amount of calcium each day. If that’s not a reason to drink milk I don’t know what is…. just remember if you’re looking for weight loss pick up the SKIM milk!
