Recipe for Losing Weight: White Cheese and Tomato Salad

It's one of my favorite recipes, and it applies the combination of Calcium and linoleic acid for weight loss.

White Cheese and Tomato Recipe

Mix the following together:

3-4 medium sized tomatoes, cut in cubes;
white cheese (not feta thought; if uncertain, try the Eastern European white cheese cut in small cubes (Romanian, Bulgarian) or the Turkish one)
2 spoons sunflower oil
black light olives (the ones with less salt and fat, usually found in cans)
dry oregano
dry basil
a dash of grounded white pepper
salt, if necessary

I am not giving the exact quantities of cheese and olives because it is a matter of taste.

It makes 2-3 servings. You don't need an additional dish, you can have this salad by itself, for dinner.

I bet you will love the recipe. I sometimes even use other kinds of cheese if I don't have the white one.

Calcium to Help Lose Weight

These studies are not new: Calcium does help you lose weight.

Natural dietary supplements combined with linoleic acid reduce body fat. The study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition had investigated people for two years and showed that the individuals who ate more dietary products lost weight faster than those who didn't.

According to Dr. Michael Pariza from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, "what [linoleic acid] rather does is keep a little fat cell from getting big."

I am not going to suggest you take Calcium supplements by themselves, unless prescribed. Why? Because taking too much of a mineral of any kind reduces the quantity of other minerals in your body. The idea that works best is to take multivitamins and multiminerals already combined.

Or, you can try getting your calcium from:

sardines with bones;
yogurt;
milk;
cheese;
salmon;
nuts and peanuts;
dry beans;
broccoli;
cauliflower;
oranges.

If you want to have some healthy cheese, try white cheese - cow and goat. Goat cheese has a particular lovely taste.
