Study Shows Calcium Helps Weight Loss

Monday, June 8th, 2009

A new study has shown calcium consumption helped participants lose weight, but only in people whose diets were low in calcium to begin with. The participants (obese women) consumed 600 mg of calcium per day before the study. When the women upped their daily intake to 1,200 mg per day, they lost nearly 13 lbs, while those who did not only lost 2 lbs. (The daily recommended dose of calcium is 1,000 mg.)
Researchers suspect the brain knows when there is a lack of calcium in the body and increases food intake to try and compensate. Whatever the reason, it looks like everyone should make sure they are getting the recommended daily allowance of calcium.
