Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2005Yogurt Promotes Fat Loss
Could this be true? I eat yogurt simply because it's tasty, low in calories & a good substitue for things like cream or custard. I guess die-hard LCers will probably disagree since they prefer cream but I count calories. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050316/165221_1.html <quote> individuals who included Yoplait Light as part of their weight loss plan lost significantly more weight compared to others who simply reduced calories. The yogurt eaters lost 22 percent more weight--an average of 14 pounds, 66 percent more body fat and 81 percent more trunkal (stomach) fat during the 12-week study. </unquote> <quote> "Not only did yogurt help the study participants lose more weight--the average weight loss was 14 pounds--they were about twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass," </quote> It all sounds very good except for the mention of a specifc brand, which sounds like a marketing effort. What do you guys think? Milk and yogurt has been found to improve weight loss. However, yes, it is a marketing ploy. A couple small research studies have been done that look good, and the milk companies are running with it. Can't blame them though. Personally, I'd suggest getting the milk as skim milk instead. I'm using non-fat dry milk, adding it to cold water in a blender, add some fruit, ice, vanilla flavoring, or any flavor I have, blend, and have a nice drink when I first get home so I don't eat everything in sight. Decreases my appetite. Decreasing the appetite isn't why it works though. However, I was doing it to decrease appetite, it just happens that there are other benefits. I read an article on this and was going to re-read it so I could understand the finer points better, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Susie > Could this be true?

SignatureDiva ***** The Best Man For The Job Is A Woman >I make my own yogurt but recenly started having an allergic response to >it whether using cow or goat's milk. I got that way with kefir. milk allergies are pretty common anymore. I can handle hard cheese but nothing with milk in it. I am told you can make kefir with cream. I know you can make yogurt with it. you just can't eat a lot of it (G) SignatureKnight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. One cup of milk has 12 grams of carbohydrate. One slice of bread has 15 grams. One apple, medium sized, has 15 grams of carbohydrate. So, milk has no more sugar then other exchanges of carbohydrates which includes starchy foods such as bread, starchy vegetables such as winter squash, and fruits. Even low calorie vegetables such as green beans have a little carbohydrate. However, yes, a lot of the yogurts are high in carbohydrate. Some are not bad. The mechanism for weight loss, however, has something to do with the calcium going in to the cells I believe. I'll have to read the article over again. Personally, I'd use skim milk if I was doing it just for the weight loss. A serving of yoplait 99% fat free yogurt has 15 grams of carbohydrate. (I just happen to have one in the refrigerator).

No offense taken at all, I was just thinking of the large numbers of people who have been led to believe meat (especially red meat) is bad for you and that dairy products are little better. These ideas do date back quite a long time. The isoflavones the article describes as being harmful are being advertised as a healthy addition to fruit juices that have been 'enriched' with the addition of soy derivates. Surely if they are really as bad as the article puts it (sounds like it's a lot healthier to have a glass of vodka ;-) ) something should be done to stop all these products being promoted as 'good for you' on so many counts. At least if you eat at McDonalds you do so *knowing* it's not the best for you.

It's been widely documented that calcium helps one lose more weight, though I don't think anyone is sure of the mechanism. (I believe tests have just demonstrated this with dietary calcium -- specifically in dairy products -- not with supplements.) I assume cream is a source of calcium, so LCers should be fine with that. So is milk, regardless of fat content. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 >>Could this be true?

I heard yogurt being associated with slimming all my life but I'd just assumed it was because it's a low cal source of protein & other nutrients that makes a good replacement for higher cal stuff like desserts, cream or ice cream, I didn't know calcium aids weight loss. Strange that it should only be dietary calcium, isn't it the same element you find in supplements? Or maybe it only works this way when combined with another substance that's also present in dairy products. I didn't like the branding though, seems to detract from what could otherwise be a serious study. > Chris > 262/130s/130s > started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 I read that there is a dietitian that has come out with a book advocating calcium supplements instead for weight loss..

Bowen J, Noakes M, Clifton PM. 1Department of Physiology, JB University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. OBJECTIVE:: To compare the effects two high-protein (HP) diets that differ in dietary calcium and protein source on weight loss, body composition, glucose and lipid metabolism, markers of liver function, fibrinolysis and endothelial function and blood pressure. DESIGN:: Randomized, parallel study (12 wk of energy restriction, 4 wk of energy balance) of high dairy protein/high-calcium (DP, 2400 mg Ca/d) and high mixed protein/moderate calcium (MP, 500 mg Ca/d) diets (5.5 MJ/d, 34% protein, 41% carbohydrate, 24% fat). SUBJECTS:: In all, 50 healthy, overweight (age 25-64 y; body mass index 25-35 kg/m(2);) males (n=20) and females (n=30). RESULTS:: Loss of total weight (-9.7+/-3.8 kg), fat mass (-8.3+/-0.4 kg) and lean mass (-1.6+/-0.3 kg) were independent of dietary group. Improvements in fasting insulin, lipids, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, and markers of liver function, fibrinolysis and endothelial function were independent of dietary intervention. CONCLUSIONS:: Increased dietary calcium/dairy foods in an energy-restricted, HP diet does not affect weight loss or body composition. Weight reduction following increased protein diets is associated with beneficial metabolic outcomes that are not affected by protein source.International Journal of Obesity advance online publication, 15 February 2005; doi:10.1038/sj.ijo.0802895.

Jacobsen R, Lorenzen JK, Toubro S, Krog-Mikkelsen I, Astrup A. Department of Human Nutrition, Centre for Advanced Food Studies, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DK-1958 Frederiksberg C, Denmark. BACKGROUND: Observational studies have shown an inverse association between dietary calcium intake and body weight, and a causal relation is likely. However, the underlying mechanisms are not understood. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether high and low calcium intakes from mainly low-fat dairy products, in diets high or normal in protein content, have effects on 24-h energy expenditure (EE) and substrate oxidation, fecal energy and fat excretion, and concentrations of substrates and hormones involved in energy metabolism and appetite. DESIGN: In all, 10 subjects participated in a randomized crossover study of three isocaloric 1-week diets with: low calcium and normal protein (LC/NP: 500 mg calcium, 15% of energy (E%) from protein), high calcium and normal protein (HC/NP: 1800 mg calcium, 15E% protein), and high calcium and high protein (HC/HP: 1800 mg calcium, 23E% protein). RESULTS: The calcium intake had no effect on 24-h EE or fat oxidation, but fecal fat excretion increased approximately 2.5-fold during the HC/NP diet compared with the LC/NP and the HC/HP diets (14.2 vs 6.0 and 5.9 g/day; P < 0.05). The HC/NP diet also increased fecal energy excretion as compared with the LC/NP and the HC/HP diets (1045 vs 684 and 668 kJ/day; P < 0.05). There were no effects on blood cholesterol, free fatty acids, triacylglycerol, insulin, leptin, or thyroid hormones. CONCLUSIONS: A short-term increase in dietary calcium intake, together with a normal protein intake, increased fecal fat and energy excretion by approximately 350 kJ/day. This observation may contribute to explain why a high-calcium diet produces weight loss, and it suggests that an interaction with dietary protein level may be important.

Calcium needs Vitamin D for absorbtion in the body. So, if you are eating Tums as a calcium suppliment, most of the calcium there will pass thru the body and not be absorbed because tums does not have vit D. But, Dairy - like milk, contains calcium and Vit D, which is why it is able to be absorbed in the body and works better. Now, many times you can find suppliments that include Calcium and Vit D together, in order for absorbtion to work. I have not read the studies to know for sure if taking this as a suppliment will also aid in weight loss or not, if its actually been studied or not. This is why those "food combinine" type diets do work to an extent. In many cases they are combining foods that work well together for the vitamin and mineral absorbtion. I'm sorry, but no, cream is not high in calcium. It is simply fat. Susie >>Could this be true?

This is one of the latest marketing ploys I've been observing. As others have pointed out, studies show that dietary calcium can help improve weight loss. So, it now appears that many dairy products are jumping on the calcium band wagon. Many are even adding calcium suppliments to their foods in order to say they have "more calcium" (but as Chris pointed out, the studies related to calcium already in foods, not suppliments). Its like that "Danactive" commercial that has Dad reading a health article in the newspaper ... whild daughter is drinking her dan active. Dad's article appears to be a valid health article, but mentions "dan active" by brand name. ANything that mentions a product by brand name is usually marketing, and most of what is in the article has been doctored up to make their product sound best and the only way to get the health benefit. I like very basic commercials: Got Milk? (Dairy council, no specific brand) > This is one of the latest marketing ploys I've been observing. It's not a ploy if it is true. You neglected to address this aspect of it. >> This is one of the latest marketing ploys I've been observing. > > It's not a ploy if it is true. You neglected to address this aspect of it. Isn't it a ploy if they twist true facts and medical studies on a generic issue (calcium found in dairy products, or dietary calcium found in food, or those people who consume higher calcium diets from food sources, had more success in losing weight than their counterparts) and relating it to a specific product. Consuming dietary calcium can help aid in weight loss. But that doesn't mean consuming Yoplait yogurt will aid in weight loss any more than consuming Danon yogurt or drinking milk or eating cheese. Oh, but Yoplait now adds calcium supplimentation so they now claim they have "more calcium" than other brands. BUT - the studies do not show any success w/ supplimentation of calcium. It specifies dietary calcium - or that found naturally in food. I'll take broccoli and its calcium. :) Fewer calories and less fat than yogurt >>> This is one of the latest marketing ploys I've been observing. >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > mean consuming Yoplait yogurt will aid in weight loss any more than > consuming Danon yogurt or drinking milk or eating cheese. I figured the studies would obviously refer to *ANY* yogurt even though they were trying to plug Yoplait, however, it wasn't that clear that any other dairy product would have the same effect. I wouldn't think about chesse in terms of weight loss since it's so high in calories (cottage cheese & other very low fat soft cheeses excepted). > Oh, but Yoplait > now adds calcium supplimentation so they now claim they have "more > calcium" > than other brands.
