Yogurt For Weight Loss
Yogurt is one of those versatile foods that is not only delicious to eat, but easy to work into your daily snacks and meals. Now we have found out that it also can help with your weight loss.
Yogurt provides essential nutrients including the calcium that needed to build healthy bones. If you eat 3 servings of low-fat dairy products, including yogurt, it helps with losing weight instead of just cutting calories without dairy. It has been shown in studies that people who add dairy into their daily regimen lost an average of 22% more body weight than people who just dropped their calories without adding dairy. They also lost 61% more body fat. Most importantly they lost a whopping 81% more fat from their middle sections - the fat that has been known to cause serious health problems. Honestly, it isn't quite known how dairy calcium helps to promote weight loss, but one theory is that dairy plays a role in mobilizing stored fat.
Yogurt also is a good source for protein which is perfect for people with Diabetes. When eating moderate carbohydrates combined with yogurt it helps you to build muscle mass when you add in daily exercise. When you have higher muscle mass you burn more calories and more effectively.
Here are some ways to add yogurt into your daily diet:
Yogurt is a perfectly portioned snack to grab as you walk out the door for breakfast
Turn it into a parfait by alternating layers of vanilla yogurt, strawberries, fresh berries, and granola
Use it for dip for vegetables when adding in a vegetable soup mix
Use it for a smoothie
Add plain yogurt to mayonnaise or cream cheese for a low-calorie sandwich spread
Eat it on top of potatoes, burritos, or bean soup in lieu of sour cream
