Dairy and weight loss

Maybe you've heard that dairy is a way to lose weight. Some time ago I read a lot articles about this. Research on dairy as a weight loss tool is still new and the researchers still need a lot of data to reach a definitive conclusion. But I hope this is true and can give us more healthy choices in dealing with the problem of obesity.

Research has been done shows that people who go on a diet rich in dairy will lose more fat in their body and a little muscle. Where usually happen people will lose some muscle along with the fat. This research was conducted by Michael Zemel, Ph.D., professor of nutrition and medicine at the University of Tennessee. I believe this is a new important breakthrough because all people do not want to lose their muscle.

I'm sure at this moment you must be thinking how could dairy, which usually contains fat, can even help people lose weight. The reason is because the calcium contained in dairy helps our body release fat-burning hormones and other compounds in dairy help you hold on to muscle tissue often sacrificed during a weight loss program.

This effect is more obvious to people who initially only consume calcium approximately 500 milligrams per day (one serving of dairy). Because in general a lot of people who do not drink enough dairy (about 3 servings a day), then maybe this will help many people, including me. I myself do not get enough servings as needed. And may also help you too.

Even though we still need more research on this, dairy is very important to our overall health and the key to building strong bones.

Lower the calorie intake and increase dairy consumption. Do you have suggestions or opinions?
