Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

Yogurt may help

"An isocaloric diet that incorporates yogurt promotes greater weight loss, according to the results of a 12-week trial published in the April issue of the International Journal of Obesity. The investigators speculate that the increased amount of calcium (Ca) and suppression of calcitriol make this diet more effective." Story at Medscape.

Int J Obes. 2005;29:388-390, 391-397 is the citation.

    Huh. How about that. I keep seeing this low-fat dairy connection to successful weight loss. This is one more reason for me to investigate further. Thanks for the post!

    I don't know what "isocaloric" means, but I have to eat a yogurt every day now I'm on this superduper antibiotic. As I'll be eating (or trying to eat) the same number of calories as before, it will be a good test of the yogurt connection.
