Nutraceutical: Dairy foods/protein
 
Indication: Abdominal fat
 
Source: J Nutrition, July 20, 2011 [Epub ahead of print].
 
Research: Ninety otherwise healthy, premenopausal, overweight and obese women who were habitually low dairy consumers were randomized into one of three groups: high protein/high dairy, adequate protein/adequate dairy and adequate protein/low dairy. The dairy foods consumed included low-fat milk and yogurt and full-fat cheese. All participants achieved a net reduction of 750 calories per day through a combination of reducing food intake and increasing exercise.
 
Results: All groups lost similar amounts of body weight and total body fat over the 16-week study. However, the high protein/high dairy group, which obtained half their protein intake through dairy foods, lost more abdominal fat compared with the adequate protein/low dairy group. This is important to note, researchers say, as there is a strong association between abdominal or centrally located body fat and the risk for cardiovascular disease. The high protein/high dairy group also experienced an increase in lean body mass, while the adequate protein/low dairy group experienced a decrease in lean body mass.
