Losing Weight the Lifeway Way
 
Losing weight with dairy is becoming an even hotter diet phenomenon than the no fat diet of the 90’s and today’s low carb craze. Move over low carb and fat free to achieve a healthy weight with dairy!
 
Emerging research from the University of Tennessee determined that consuming three to four servings of dairy products a day like milk, cheese, yogurt, and kefir might aid people to effectively lose more weight than eliminating dairy. In fact these studies find that cutting dairy foods from your diet may actually hurt weight loss plans and boosting dairy intake to an adequate level is more important than cutting calories alone.
 
Successful weight loss begins with a reduced calorie diet combined with foods rich in calcium and exercise. In this diet plan not only would you be maintaining bone strength, but according to recent research you may also increase the breakdown of fat in your body. The mix of essential nutrients in dairy foods, including calcium and protein, appears to speed up the metabolism and improve the body’s ability to burn fat. One serving of dairy rich Lifeway Kefir has a 30% daily value of calcium and a 28% daily value of protein plus all those live and active cultures that keep your digestive and immune systems intact.
 
The probiotics in Lifeway Kefir are good bacteria that have an ability to promote healthy gastrointestinal functions, increase immunity and combat factors that can offset your bacterial balance like travel, antibiotics, and alcohol consumption. Kefir is also a great way to maintain strong bones especially in women, children and adolescents when bone health is particularly important. Calcium rich kefir combined with regular exercise helps bones stay strong and reduces the likelihood of breakage.
 
Consuming the recommended three to four servings of dairy a day is a great way to maintain a fit lifestyle especially when Lifeway Kefir is included in that plan. Many people start exercising to lose weight or keep it down and women in particular tend to cut out dairy for fear of gaining weight, however this new research helps prove that dairy is a perfect complement to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Exercise combined with an adequate amount of dairy helps maintain a healthy weight over the long term without the negative affects of yoyo dieting.
 
Lifeway Kefir is the whole dairy package with a high amount of calcium and protein that contribute to weight loss and bone health and probiotics that aid the body. One of the great benefits of drinking Lifeway Kefir is that the good bacteria may reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance by digesting the lactose in the intestinal tract. Even people who fear dairy will have no qualms about consuming this delicious drinkable smoothie in their battle against weight gain.
