Breakthrough Study: Yogert Aids Weight-Loss

(THE ARTICLE IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST)

Remember how I was saying that my weight loss skyrocketed when I started eating Yogen Fruz daily? Suddenly I was seeing the scale go down a few pounds more than I was expecting everytime I weighed myself.

I did some research, and it turns out that a new study PROVES that non-fat yogurt increases the amount of fat-loss, particularly in the stomach area.

For 12 weeks, two groups were put on a calorie-restricted diet (which means they ate 500 fewer calories/day than usual.) and one of those groups had to eat non-fat yogurt 3 times a day. All of them lost weight, as expected, since they were eating fewer calories, but the Yogurt group lost more weight.

Here are the stats:

The Non-Yogurt group lost an average of 11 pounds.
The Yogurt group lost an average of 14 pounds.
The Yogurt group also lost 81% more fat in the stomach area than the non-yogurt group.

Although BOTH the groups consumed dairy, the Non-Yogurt group was only fed 400-500 milligrams of calcium/day, while the Yogurt group was fed 1100 milligrams of calcium/day.

Aaaannnd guess how many milligrams of calcium there are in a cup of Yogen Fruz...

1000!

Perfect. So people, if you can afford super expensive Yogen Fruz, go for it. It's $3.66 for a small cup, and $4.92 for a large cup. Pricey, I know. The only way I can afford to eat it everyday is because I get a discount. I only have to pay 2 bucks for a large.

If Yogen Fruz is out of your budget, then buy non-fat yogurt cups from the grocery store. They have a HUGE array of flavours. I see their ads on tv like 10 times a day.

So this is something nice to help boost our weight-loss. Fun and guilt free yogurt :)

Try it!
