Yogurt and Weight Loss, Burning Fat, Bad Breath and Gingivitis

Eat light yogurt daily as part of your weight loss plan, and you could lose an average of 14 pounds in just 12 weeks. That's the word from researchers at the University of Tennessee who have found that people who included Yoplait Light as part of their weight loss plan lost significantly more weight compared to others who simply reduced the number of calories.

Specifically, this is what the yogurt eaters lost during the 12-week study:
--22 percent more weight for an average weight loss of 14 pounds.
--66 percent more body fat.
--81 percent more stomach fat.

How does yogurt do this? It appears to fuel the body's fat-burning ability, which in turn makes it easier to lose fat and maintain lean muscle.

Here’s a Tip to Freshen your Breath in the Middle of Day - Try Yogurt

Try 6 ounces of yogurt (3 ounces twice a day) per day.

Bad breath is not caused by the onions you had for lunch, but rather by anaerobic bacteria that breed on the back of the tongue. These bacteria produce volatile sulfur compounds. One of those compounds, hydrogen sulfide, is what causes your breath to smell like rotten eggs.

A Japanese study showed that regular yogurt consumption not only prevented gastrointestinal problems, but also reduced the risk of dental decay.

The results showed that after six weeks of eating yogurt daily, the hydrogen sulfide levels decreased in 80 percent of the volunteers who had bad breath. The yogurt also significantly reduced plaque and gingivitis in people who had bad breath, compared with the initial phase when they did not eat yogurt.

The study, which was funded in part by a major Japanese yogurt maker, was presented to a meeting of the International Association for Dental Research in Baltimore, Md.
