Dairy products that are rich in calcium can help increase fat loss particularly around your abs and should be included in your healthy diet plans.
Researchers believe this may be due to the fact that calcium regulates the hormone calcitriol, which causes the body to produce fat and inhibit fat-burning.
When your calcium levels are adequate, calcitriol and fat production are suppressed and your fat-burning is enhanced.
You can add low fat cottage cheese, milk and greek yogurt or plain yogurt to your healthy diet plans.
These foods will not only aid fat loss, but also boost your protein intake which also helps to speed up fat loss.
Yours in good health,

Hi there.
I have heard before about low fat dairy being the only low fat product that is healthy for you as well as the possiblity of assistance in reducing abdominal. I maintain a healthy lifestyle (about 20% body fat) and workout (alternating cardio and strength/circuit training) at least four days a week, I purchased your carb rotation diet a month or so ago and I use it as a guide and reminder of what food groups to eat together and when. That said here is my question… You hear plenty about reducing ab fat but I need help reducing and lifting my glutes and thighs. Are there foods that target these areas or is it just workout and hope for the best (because I am totally not happy with my results in these areas)?
Thanks.
It is exercise and burning calories that are going to help you reduce the fat on your body and tone your muscles and your glutes.

Hi Jayson,
Unfortunately I am intolerant to milk. So far I have been replacing milk and yoghurt by organic unsweetened soya alternatives, like soya milk, soya yoghurt and a vegetable based nonhydroginated ‘margarnine’. Is this a good idea in my healthy diet plan? Or are there better alternatives available?
Thanks for your help! Your information really got me motivated!

Yes, those are a good alternative for those who are intolerant to milk.
