Yogurt helps you lose weight faster
• Researchers found that obese adults who ate three servings of fat-free 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 bone up on calcium. Yogurt eaters also lost 81% more fat in the stomach area than non-yogurt eaters.• Researchers also found that yogurt helped the study participants
maintain muscle mass as they lost weight. They were about twice as effective
at maintaining lean muscle mass – a critical issue when dieting.
