Golden milk chia pudding

In a study on obese and overweight adults who typically didn’t eat much calcium, people who supplemented with calcium and vitamin D lost two more pounds—and more belly fat—than people who were not given the supplements, according to a 2013 study published in Nutrition Journal.

But you don't need to shovel a bunch of pills in your mouth to get calcium and vitamin D—milk contains healthy doses of both, and is a healthy addition to any weight loss plan.
