Hello, Just wanted to share what i read on First magazine.
IF you want to get it it's the Feb one .. Kelly Rippa's on the cover. I read Calcium pills stop cravings so I started to take them.. and omg it works. I got the Spring valley one from walmart..
It says here 1200mg helps not get hungry.
Our body can only absorb 600mg of it at a time so it's best to take it not at once.
taking 1200mg of Cacium Supplements can make u lose weight! it says if you're taking the calcium supplements and not losing weight, there's 2 things to know. All supplements are not the same. some dissove quickly than others and to see if you have the right one, soak a pill in vingar for 30min. and stir gently. if it doesn't dissovle complety it's time to swich. the ones that pass the test are.. it says here the walmart brand.. sping valley natural calcium 600+vitamin D and ZInc.
and also CVS's Calcium600+ D

I got the reg spring Valley 600mg. Let me say after i take it it makes me full!
I never known this.
Also it helps
71% reductionn in the risk of insulin resistance syndrome( pre diabetes)

54% Decrease in PMS symptoms, also bloat, Food cravings, mood swings amd migraines.

35% Ruduction in risk of osteoprosis!

This magazine had TONS of info about the kind of food u should eat if you're bloaty and all.

Anyway just wanted to share what i read.

Thanks for the info - I saw that magazine when I was in the checkout line and have been wondering what would stop cravings. I've got a bottle of calcium pills and I'll be taking them religiously.

If out of any of those vitamin/minerals, Zinc is probably the only one doing anything to help control your weight. Calcium is not an appetite suppressant. However, calcium intake of 1,300mg a day for postmenopausal woman is recommended to prevent osteoporosis. Calcium helps strengthen the bone-forming cells(osteoblasts) so that the bone-eating cells(osteoclasts) are prevented of ever being created.

Hi... i just stated them and I didn't lose any weight yet. Some times I forget to take them.
I started to take reg Vitamins and that has 200mg of Calcium so I'm going to only taking 600mg. I don't know about others but it made me feel full. U know when u go to a new Dr's office for the first time and they ask u what meds you're taking? So I wrote that down, and he said I'm still young( I'm 30) to think about taking them But I Never said why I was taking them ..lol he said I don't have to worry about Calcium much.
But yeah I'm going to try one pill aday.
U can get the magazine and read it through.. I just thuoght it some info I can give out.
