• A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Tennessee suggests that eating youghurt helps fat loss in the body.
• The researchers found that obese adults who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt a day as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost 22 percent more weight and 61percent more body fat than those who simply cut calories and didn't bone up on calcium.
• Yogurt eaters also lost 81percent more fat in the stomach area than non-yogurt eaters.
• "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.
• This is a critical issue when dieting -- you want to lose fat, not muscle.
• Muscle helps burn calories, but it is often compromised during weight loss," lead researcher Michael Zemel said.
• In the study, researchers compared the effects of adding yogurt to a reduced-calorie diet on weight loss in 34 healthy obese adults who were divided into two groups.
• For 12 weeks, the first group ate three 6-ounce servings of fat- free yogurt providing about 1,100 milligrams of calcium per day; the other group ate only one serving of dairy providing 400-500 milligrams of calcium per day.
• Both groups ate a controlled diet that contained 500 fewer calories than normal to stimulate weight loss.
