The Calcium Factor
The findings of this study add to mounting research that suggests dietary calcium intake increases fat loss. Because all participants in the study reported low dairy intake before beginning the study, the high protein – high dairy group’s enhanced outcomes may be due to the increased dietary calcium intake. Some studies suggest dietary calcium, particularly from dairy products, may bind to dietary fat, lower its absorption in the digestive tract and/or decrease fat storage. With increased dietary calcium, lipolysis, the breakdown of lipids including fat, increases. However, not all calcium is created equal; a separate study found that calcium from supplements did not have the same effect as calcium from diet
