Have you ever wondered if you’re getting enough calcium in your diet?
If you’re like me, you just look at the label on your milk carton or your container of yogurt to find out.
But you may be misled by that information if you’re in one of these groups:
Does the delicious smell of a bakery force you to stop and have some doughnuts?
Does the sight of dessert spark an irresistible desire to eat even when you’re already stuffed from dinner?
If you think about food all the time and feel the urge to eat constantly…
If you can’t say no, even when you want to…
If you suffer actual withdrawal symptoms when you try to change your eating habits…
Then you may be experiencing “hedonic hunger.”
A calcium deficiency may raise the likelihood of advanced breast cancer spreading to your bones.

University of Virginia professor Glenn Gaesser has found that high-carb diets are almost always associated with slimmer bodies.
I know that’s not a politically popular line of thought right now.
But I have to say I agree that weight loss is about calories. Period.
Gaesser did the research, however, and wrote it up in an article for the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
