calcium and weight loss

22 years ago

I initiated a post on the Cooking forum regarding a yogourt I started to eat (Yoplait Source) a while back, and thought this info may be of interest here. A portion of one of my previous posts is included as a disclaimer.

"I've been researching what yogourt was all about and found the interesting article linked below. You can disregard any inference that it's only Yoplait that gives the benefit, but if the concept is factual, this is good to know for people working on weight control."

Here is a link that might be useful: calcium and weight control

Interesting article naturelle. Okay I confess, I have never been able to eat yogurt so is this Yoplait Souce much better? I would really like to find a yogurt I could eat.

Beverly, here's what I posted earlier. The words in parenthesis I just added. I was always aware that yogourt was supposed to be good for you, as I referenced the really old people in the Balkans or Siberia, and the digestive benefits in the thread.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have never been a big fan of yogourt, and I saw other people loading up on yogourt and have always thought I was missing something good. I have had various types previously from time to time, but the taste never appealed to me.
Out of impulse (and reading the packaging which suggested what I thought was good stuff), I bought Yoplait Source, but did not expect much. I figured this was my once every 5 years experiment with yogourt and would not even finish the package. It comes in a four pack, blueberry and peach at bottom. Well, it was really good.

I have never been on a diet, so I really don't know what all this means, or if it's all good, but here's the nutritional info:

Energy: 73 cal
Protein: 4.1 g
Fat: 0.1%
Carb: 13.9 g
Sucralose: 17.1 mg
Calcium: 13%
Vitamin A 6%
Vitamin D 17%

Splenda not Aspartame

Too much calories? carbs? anything else? The package says it's endorsed by The Diabetic Association. The one thing I do kind of watch for in my foods is fat, and particularly the saturated fats, and the 0.1% seems to be pretty good. I'm wondering if plain non-fat yogourt (which I can't stand)is totally non-fat, ie. 0%.

All I know is, this is better tasting than any yogourt I had before. It fills the bill for a quick snack and I now have one a day. I'm lactose intolerant, but yogourt never adversely affected me the few times I had it, or at least not to the degree to cause distress.

I will also add that the portions are a nice size to make for a light, but satisfying snack in the afternoon or evening. The fruit part is nice too.

Hello. Actually exercise has now been determined to be of little importance in weight loss. In toning, yes, absolutely, but not loss. I lost 50lbs last year from Christmas to May simply by following the WW online diet. I'm not able to exercise aside from walking a block or so, so exercise was not part of my diet. So for anyone who simply cannot exercise, or hates it, :), don't ever think you can't diet and lose weight simply by cutting calories. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/upshot/to-lose-weight-eating-less-is-far-more-important-than-exercising-more.html

Unbelievable! Moo had an ultrasound yesterday. I left him for the day and picked him up late, after work. My vet had the day off so I was told she'd call me first thing this morning. The phone call of doom in my mind. She finally called while I was sitting in traffic this morning. The Ultrasound came back FINE! No tumors, No cysts on the Kidneys, No Obstructions. The urinalysis also came back fine although with a little unexplained suger. I think its those darn Party Mix treats he loves so much, and I give him all the time. (I know, I know but I thought it was his last supper!) I can't believe what wonderful news this is. I cried anyway. So now I still have the problem. Why would he be loosing too much weight? Could it be from switching dry foods a lot this year? Purina one Chicken and rice, to Prescription allergy formula from the vet, to Nupro weight loss formula (I have a very fat cat too)and when Moo got sick, I went back to Purina Chicken and rice. And what caused him to have such a high fever on Saturday? I have to stay in my office all day before going home and giving him the biggest kiss and hug. (NO PARTY MIX!) I have to keep a close eye on him and make sure he gains and not looses the weight. The vet is going to give me another dry food to try to prevent any stomach upset.

my clothes were getting tighter and i just refused to 'give in' and buy a bigger size. TBH, i was not heavy but i just refused to fall into 'oh we are older, its just what happens' category. my friend introduced me to THM and it changed everything. basicallly, you do not mix your healthy carbs and fat in the same meal. eg.: eggs with bacon/sausage and 1/2 avocado OR egg whites with veggies on sprouted bread chicken thighs with buttered veggie (broccoli) OR white meat chicken over a bed of lettuce with cucumbers, toms peppers etc and a light dressing (not heavy oils) or on a low-carb wrap/pita it does take some thought, but once you get the hang of it, its easy and automatic. i eat no white anything. no sugar, i do use Truvia. i eat mostly berries as they are least amount of natural sugar. i eat every 3-4 hours, not in between, this is good for your digestion and metabolism. i do have Hashimoto's for about 25-30 years now, and actually my med dose has recently gone down and my thryoid is not as swollen. my Endo is very pleased. i do my best! to not eat after dinner. i walk 5 days a week (3-4 miles), Follow the THM plan and use their recipes which are fabulous. Even DH likes them! BP is perfect, Cholestrol is 180 although my LDL is a slightly above 100, always was since my 30's - genetics?? i am not saying everyone is the same, but this diet lifestyle really works for me. good luck to everyone!

All weight loss comes from eating less calories than you burn. That is it. HOW one goes about doing that doesn't matter. Weight loss meds suppress your appetite, often to the point of queasiness. in order to reduce food intake, creating a calorie deficit, and therefore weight loss. Weight loss surgery restricts how much one can cram down at one time temporarily, thus creating a calorie deficit, leading to weight loss. Traditional diets, no matter which one. are meant to reduce calorie intake, creating a calorie deficit, thus leading to weight loss. If you are not losing weight, you are eating too much. Doesn't really matter the number. If you are not losing weight, you need to reduce your intake. There is a terrible genetic condition that is called Prada-Willi Syndrome. This condition is doubly cruel. It causes the afflicted to always, and I mean always, feel starving. They go to extreme lengths to get food. They eat out of the trash, eat non food items, steal, whatever. There are a number of cases in which the person afflicted has literally eaten themselves to death, by eating and eating until their stomach burst. To add to the horror, these people usually only need half of the calories an average person without the condition needs. An adult woman with this syndrome only needs 800-900 calories a day to maintain their weight. You can see how a combination of these factors would cause these people to be overweight. There is a facility in the UK, called Haydock house, which is a residential home for people with Prada Willi syndrome. They have a REMARKABLE record of reducing and maintaining the weight of these people. You know how they do it? You're not gonna believe it........ They do it by monitoring their calorie intake and encouraging physical activity. I know, SHOCKING right?!?!? If the people saddled with this horrible condition are able to lose weight, anyone can. Sorry about it. While I understand there are some people who blame trauma or mental illness or whatever on their inability to control their food intake, it is my position that there comes a time to grow up and get help. If you are unwillingly to do that, its not a valid excuse. And yes, I take the same position for other harmful addictions. It is YOUR responsibility as an adult to handle your own problems. Obesity in particular is not just a personal problem. It is a burden on the healthcare system, a burden on society, a burden on the environment. Its a huge problem. I also think that in a decade or so, the adverse affects of using meds like Ozempic ones body does not need just in order to lose weight till rear their ugly heads. And I think that the people who chose to use them instead of just not eating as much, should not be able to seek legal ramifications for whatever consequences come from it. Just like I do not think that people should be able to sue fast food places or junk food companies for them getting diabetes or heart disease.

I have read about that study before. I'm not a big fan of yogurt either, but I do like frozen yogurt and it contains the active ingredient. I bought banana split yogurt today. I'll have to try it out in a little while. LOL

MaryAnn, I also like frozen yogourt. Have you tried the various Gelatos, they are very good. It's Italian style ice cream I believe, iced milk instead of cream. The Neopolitan is classic, and there's the one with pistachio, I forget the name off hand. The reason I sought out the yogourt and the Gelato types is I like the ice cream idea, but I am lactose intolerant and these do not affect me. It does not hurt also that they have less fat also. But other than that, they have a clean refreshing taste, the real ice creams are way too rich tasting for me.

The fat amount in the Yoplait Source sounds just right. Now if I can only find some to try it. I looked at Target last night but they did not have that particular Yoplait. I will try other stores this weekend. Thanks for all the particulars Naturelle!
