Question about dairy rich diets and green tea

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. I have been

reading alot lately about how increasing your dairy intake can help

you loose weight, my problem is that i am lactose intolerant so i have

to drink the Lactaid type milk. Also i only drink things that are

decaffinated, I drink about 4 cups of green tea everyday. So my

question is am I getting as good of benefits that others may get when

they drink the green tea or does the process of decaffinating the tea

also take the good nutrients and such with it. The same with the

Lactaid type milks, would i get the same health benefits from it as

oppose to regular milk. Thanks in advance, this has always been such a

helpful and wonderful group. I have learned so much from you all.

lactose is a very complex & complete product, and as such very difficult to digest, asian who don't take alot of dairy product stay slim without much effort. now the 2nd generation who grow up in the US ,who have been drilled into drinking milk because it is good for the body has become big & fat. this is only my own personal observation.

Kat,

 

My humble opinion is that if you are lactose intolerant your body doesn't

like milk, so listen to it instead of trying to fool it!

At least use milk products that are

predigested like yogurt and kefir.

Goat's milk is even better.

 

Do you mind sharing where you read that?

I find myself losing weight whenever

I take some time off cheese.

Alas, getting a Dutch girl to let go of

the cheese is pretty hard.

Kat,

 

For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. Isa 50:7

Hi Mary and all,

 

Actually, it's true, but it's the calcium not dairy products that

promotes weight loss.

 

Here's some good info on this for you...

Calcium Leads to Weight Loss

 

It might seem unlikely that something that makes your bones stronger

and less porous can help you lose weight. Yet, it appears that this

is true.

 

Are Calcium and Weight Loss Linked?

 

In the late 1980s, scientists were studying the effects of calcium

on high blood pressure. They were hoping to demonstrate that

increasing calcium intake would reduce people's blood pressure. In

the preliminary tests, it did reduce blood pressure, and the

scientists were also surprised to find that the average participant

in the study lost 11 pounds of weight, suggesting that calcium and

weight loss may be related. The calcium in this experiment was given

by feeding the participants 2 pounds of full fat yogurt a day, so it

was even more remarkable that the subjects lost weight.

 

Encouraged by these results, researchers started conducting other

studies to see if calcium and weight loss were linked. A recent

review of studies by the United States National Institutes of Health

showed some very interesting results in terms of calcium and weight

loss. The overall findings showed that people who were overweight

ate only small quantities of calcium, and people who lost a lot of

weight ate the most calcium.

 

The Mechanism Behind Calcium and Weight Loss

 

Much more research on calcium and weight loss is needed; yet the

research so far is promising. However, exactly how calcium affects

body weight and fat is not clear.

 

The reports indicate that a component of dairy products not analyzed

in the studies, such as conjugated linoleic acid, may be

responsible. Calcium from dairy and non-dairy sources may also

replace another nutrient.

 

Another theory is that not getting enough calcium in your diet puts

the body into something like the starvation mode that occurs when

insufficient food is eaten. Lack of calcium may produce changes in

hormones and the mechanism that stores fat, and thereby causing

weight gain. Getting enough calcium may reverse this process and

enable weight to be lost or healthy weigh maintained.

 

If you are trying to lose weight, it is advisable to talk to your

doctor first. Consuming dietary calcium in order to help weight loss

is probably not the best method as dairy products are generally high

in saturated fat. It may be better to use a calcium supplement that

has next-to-no calories or fat.

Research is science. I am a research technician with the University of Arizona.

 

There tend to be groups of people tested (if they test on humans, NOT ANIMALS,

which primary studies are ALWAY performed on animals BEFORE they are allowed to

be performed on human) who will not respond. If you have an n= (number of

persons tested) that is 100 or more, this is only a SLIGHT percentage of a

population. Within that testing criteria, it will show that the persons who

lost weight by adding calcium (did they also exercise?, eat less red meats, ate

more veggies, etc, there are a lot of criteria that has to be met to get an

accurate result) was only a percentage. Thus, this means that it didn't work

for everyone.

 

We are all individuals. If you are lactose intolerant, or like me, suseptible

to kidney stones, then calcium supplements won't help, either.

 

To lose weight....

eat more veggies (summer type, squash, beans, brascillicas, etc)

cut out red meat

eat more fish (sardines, herring, and salmon with the bones... canned, another

source of calcium)

exercise.

 

For me, its elliminating anything and everything with wheat, corn, or dairy.

Makes it simple, but really hard.
