When we posted the study a few days ago about how eating protein is necessary for weight loss (or even maintaining muscle mass if you’re not dieting) the question came up – does it matter where the protein comes from?

Having trouble losing weight? Might want to check your calcium intake.
Researchers from Laval University in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, point to evidence suggesting that low calcium intake is a risk factor for obesity.
“Taken together, these observations suggest that insufficient calcium intake can be part of the obesity problem in some individuals and that an increase in calcium/dairy intake is part of the solution,” they say.
The latest study was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Researchers state that when overweight or obese people who have insufficient calcium intake increased the amount of calcium they consumed, they lost more weight and more fat.
They suggest that the reson for this is that calcium may increase fat metabolism (burning of fat for energy), cause fat to be expelled in feces, and possibly curb appetite.
The following “key teaching points” are copied directly from the abstract:

Yet more studies are showing that the ingredients in Calciology™ can aid in weight loss.
This study found that calcium plus vitamin D supplementation was NECESSARY to achieve “significant fat mass loss” in overweight women who weren’t already consuming enough calcium. (Which, according to the Surgeon General is nearly all of us.)
But that was only the beginning: Read more
The internet is full of weight loss fads. Just last week, Dr. Oz did a show on HCG and declared it a risky idea. One thing he said struck me: There was no science supporting the idea that HCG can help you lose weight. Yet there were people who were willing to pay $800 for a 12 week treatment with it.
I’ve been overweight and I totally understand that desire. But what those people don’t understand is there is something with much more science behind it, that costs a LOT less money. Read more
