Weight Loss News From Byron J. Richards
Calcium and Vitamin D for Fat BurningThursday, July 03, 2008 - Byron J. Richards, CCNA new study in overweight women shows that 900 mg per day of supplemental calcium increases their ability to burn fat for fuel. This ability is enhanced by vitamin D status. Increased calcium intake has already been shown to have a favorable affect on reducing the cravings for carbohydrates, information I have covered in earlier writing. This study is interesting because it shows that supplemental calcium directly boosts fat burning whether you are craving carbohydrates or not. Vitamin D is gaining status as a wonder nutrient. Proper vitamin D status was directly linked to better fat burning and a smaller waistline. It is quite likely that as winter months wear on and vitamin D levels drop individuals pack on extra pounds in January, February, and March. It is likely that weight gain over the winter could be a key sign of a lack of vitamin D, requiring anywhere from 2000 to 5000 IU per day to correct the problem. One way to judge vitamin D adequacy in the winter may be a lack of weight gain or losing weight when the dose is increased. Now that it is summer, just get some sun to help replenish your vitamin D levels that were depleted from the long winter. Nutrients like Daily Bone Xcel (5 per day) and Bone Helper (3 per day) will ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D for basic fat burning needs, as well as significantly supporting bone health. If you really have carbohydrate cravings then try 2-4 capsules of Calcium AEP when they happen, it can make a big difference.
