Eating daily curd or yogurt (Dahi) can help you lose weight faster and burn belly fat faster - know how

New Delhi: if you've tried to lose weight - whether that annoying belly fat or total body fat - you may have been told that it may be useful to eat fermented foods such as yogurt or mash (Dahi in Hindi). It is a fact that making wise food choices along with a healthy lifestyle is the best strategy to revolve the fat-burning engine of your body and accelerate your weight loss this summer. Yogurt is such a food that contributes to good intestinal health, which is necessary to keep you healthy and fit.




Yogurt is an excellent source of probiotics, living micro-organisms that are good for your 'gut microbiome'. Researchers have found a link between gut microbiota and obesity. For example, a research review published in Nutrition and Metabolism in February 2016 showed that intestinal microflora can have a positive effect on energy metabolism and body weight regulation. In addition, the calories in yogurt are composed of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats - all that contribute to your daily calorie intake and that can help you prevent a fat loss in calorie deficit.



How yogurt can help you lose weight and burn belly fat

Research has shown that the protein and calcium derived from consuming low-fat dairy products can help to burn fat and encourage weight loss. A study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, found that obese adults who ate fat-free yogurt as part of a low-calorie diet for 12 weeks were able to shed more weight and body fat compared to those who simply cut and followed calories a diet low in calcium. The researchers discovered that the study participants who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt daily lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more body fat than those who only cut calories.



Interestingly, obese adults who had yogurt also lost 81 percent more fat in the stomach than non-yogurt eaters. The researchers also noted that these people were about twice as effective in maintaining lean muscle mass and that the average weight loss was 14 pounds (about 6.3 kg).



"This is a crucial problem when dieting - you want to lose fat, not muscles. Muscle helps burn calories, but it is often affected during weight loss," said researcher Michael Zemel, PhD, professor of nutrition at the University of Tennessee.



To promote weight loss, the study participants were divided into two groups and were forced to follow a controlled diet with 500 fewer calories than normal. Hence, both groups of obese adults lost weight as a result of calorie restriction. However, the study showed that the yogurt group had significant weight loss.



The study showed that ugurt can be an effective food to trim abdominal fat faster, and that participants also demonstrated that participants in the calcium-rich yogurt diet also lost more stomach fat, 81%, compared to those with a low calcium diet. Excessive fat in the abdomen has been associated with an increased risk of serious health problems - ranging from heart disease, diabetes and stroke to certain cancers.
