Weight Loss Tips The French Secret You Should Know

Want to know what the French secret is to weight loss? Then read this article to find out.
Yogurt is big business. That yogurt is both nutritious, and beginning to be appreciated as one of the solutions to the current US obesity crisis account for great deal of its marketability.
Fat-free; sugar-free; low-fat; full fat; fruit-sweetened; unsweetened; with additives ranging from extra cultures to chocolate, yogurt can be eaten, drunk, or frozen on a stick and licked like a popsicle.

And now, this food has been shown in studies to help with fat loss, when combined with a calorie reduced diet. Studies at the University of Tennessee have shown that three servings of yogurt a daycan help you to lose 22% more weight, 60% more body fat, than a restricted-calorie diet . In addition, 80% more abdominal fat was lost in the group with yogurt.
What you may not know is that eating three 6 ounce (the standard single size container) servings of yogurt per day will provide you with about 1100 milligrams of dietary calcium. It will also give you high quality protein without loading up the calorie count. French women have long known that adding one or two servings of yogurt each day to their diets helps them keep their famously slim French profiles.
Abdominal fat has been linked to a number of serious conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. When three 6-ounce servings of low-fat yogurt are included in a calorie-reduced diet, abdominal fat loss is shown to increase an average of 81% over the amount lost with a calorie-restricted diet alone.
How can you add yogurt to your weight loss diet?
Begin your day with a trio of super foods: prepare a half a cup of oatmeal (rolled oats, not instant), add a half a cup of wild blueberries, and mix in six ounces a cup of low-fat yogurt.
If you brown bag it to school or work, toss in a carton of yogurt along with your sandwich. Look for low-fat frozen yogurt instead of ice. Substitute plain yogurt for sour cream on your potato or in your vegetable dips.
