What Makes Yogurt Support Weight Loss

Teeming with probiotics, yogurts can elevate your metabolic rate. You and I know increased metabolism promotes weight loss. Probiotics can also reduce your hunger and increase feelings of satiety. When you have your ghrelin and leptin in balance, you are less likely to eat more calories. This positively affects weight loss. Yogurts are also rich in protein. Like probiotics, proteins suppress your appetite and increase feelings of satiety.
