Calcium Key: The Revolutionary Diet Discovery That Will Help You Lose Weight Faster - Softcover
A breakthrough diet book from the discoverer of the calcium–weight loss connection as seen on CNN and in Reader s Digest
Many people cut back on or stop eating dairy products when they try to lose weight. That s a mistake. As Michael Zemel s pioneering, peer–reviewed clinical research has proved, consuming low–fat dairy products actually helps people lose weight 70% more weight (and 64% more fat) than calorie restriction alone. The key is calcium, which causes fat cells to produce less fat and helps the body break down existing fat. Now, in the year s most innovative diet book, Dr. Zemel translates his research into an amazingly effective weight–loss program. According to Dr. Zemel, consuming low–fat dairy foods milk, yogurt, and cheese is the easiest way to boost calcium intake, though he also discusses calcium supplements and other sources of calcium. Complete with tasty, nutritional low–fat menu plans that help people get the 1,200 to 1,600 milligrams of calcium they need daily to stimulate weight loss, The Calcium Key is just what people need to shed pounds fast and stay slim.
