Drink That Dairy!

Calcium can help you lose weight, even without cutting calories – especially if you’re not getting enough now. Over 15 weeks, obese women who doubled their daily intake from 600 milligrams to 1,200 lost an average of 11 pounds more than those who didn’t boost their quota. The brain could be detecting a calcium deficiency and then telling the body to eat more to make up for it. So chow down on low-fat dairy products – like yoghurt, string cheese, and milk everyday.
