According to research in Université Laval in Canada, the sufficient amount of calcium intake may make obese people loss weight. But the is one condition that you are deficient.
In detail; Tremblay and his co-workers recruited 63 overweight and obese women (average age 43, average BMI 32 kg/m2) and assigned them to a 15-week weight-reducing programme supplemented with either a daily calcium plus vitamin D supplement (1200 mg calcium and 10 micrograms vitamin D), or placebo. All the women had daily calcium intakes of less than 800 mg.
At the end of the study, the researchers reported that the calcium plus vitamin D supplements had no statistically significant improvement in fat loss, relative to placebo.
However, when the researchers limited their analysis to women with very low-calcium intakes, defined as less that 600 milligrams, they found that weight loss was almost 6 kg, compared to 1 kg for women in the control group.
According to researches change in lipid intake could be influenced by a calcium-specific appetite control.
