I recently read reports on two separate weight loss studies involving vitamins and nutrition. Both of them show that there is a direct correlation between taking vitamins and being thinner (not to mention healthier). Here they are:
1) The British Journal of Nutrition reported results of a study involving multivitamins in both men and women. The results showed that for both men and women, those who took a multivitamin had lower bodyweight and fat mass. The women in the study additionally reported that when taking a multivitamin, they noticed reduced hunger levels as well.
2) When in combination, vitamin C and calcium just might reduce the body’s fat absorption and storage. The Public Health Nutrition Journal reported results of a study performed on 900 Iranian women whose daily consumption of vitamin C and calcium were monitored. The results showed a correlation between women who had LESS abdominal fat and MORE of these two nutrients. There was also a potential trend that women who had the potential for being obese (particularly in the central area of the body) also had low dairy consumption (the main source of calcium) and low vitamin C consumption throughout the course of the study.
