The Critical Role of Calcium
Do you get enough dairy? You should! Research is piling up that shows what a critical role dairy's calcium plays in weight control (your best choice: organic low-fat plain yogurt). Even small deficiencies of calcium change fat-burning signals in the cells and have a dampening effect on metabolism.

Grass-fed dairy products have saturated and trans fats, but they also
include the best kind: conjugated linoleic acids, or CLAs. Shown to
improve body composition, CLAs help to drive fat out of fatty tissues,
where it can be burned up more easily. The combination of these healthy
fats with dairy's high protein also stimulates the appetite-suppressing
hormone CCK (cholecystokinin). Organic free-range dairy tastes better
and has no antibiotics or hormones and more omega-3s. Bonus: The zinc in
dairy also helps to support healthy levels of appetite-suppressing
leptin.
