In order to lose weight, many people refuse to drink dairy products. They think dairy products are harmful to the effect of losing weight. In fact, the truth is opposite. The calcium inside your body can not help you burn the fat, until the content of calcium can reach an ideal amount. When the amount of calcium inside the human body is too low, a kind of hormone called “calcitriol” will be produced which can accelerate the formation and storage of fat. On the contrary, if the content of calcium inside the human body is abundant, the production of calcitriol will be restrained and the amount of fat can also be reduced. Therefore, dairy products can help people lose weight.

However, not all the dairy products can help you lose weight. Generally speaking, among all the dairy products, milk and yogurt are the most effective. Even soya-bean milk is not so effective in helping people lose weight. For example, milk contains abundant amino acids which can accelerate the growth of muscles. The content of calcium is also much higher in milk than that contained in other foods. Therefore, suitable dairy products like milk are very beneficial to help people lose fat.

According to the nutrition experts, people should absorb 1000 to 1200 milligrams of calcium every day. However, only 500 milligrams of calcium can be absorbed by the human body each time. Therefore, it is better to drink milk in a right amount in three times. It is easy to add dairy products into your everyday diet. You can collocate the foods containing high protein with dairy products. For example, in the morning, you can eat fried eggs and drink a cup of nonfat yogurt, or you can drink a cup of low-fat and high-fiber oatmeal porridge and a cup of milk. When you want to eat some snacks in the afternoon, a cup of yogurt or 30 to 60 grams of cheese is a good choice. A cup of low-fat milk is a perfect full stop of the whole day. Thus, dairy products are added into the diet to help people keep healthy and lose weight.

Except calcium, other compositions contained in dairy products also play an important role in helping people lose weight. For instance, leucine contained in amino acids can effectively stabilize the blood sugar and further reduce the appetite for people. Through reducing the amount of food for dinner, people can effectively lose weight.
