Since last December, I've lost 30 pounds... and recently, I've been reading about the importance of calcium and magnesium in women's diets. According to certain dieticians featured in O Magazine, greater levels of calcium and magnesium help a woman to loose weight more effectively. Can anyone back this up with other articles or personal experience?

I hadn't heard about the magnesium, but I read about the calcium in a Curves publication. It said that the calcium causes us to produce less of a fat storing hormone.
I also found these sources on the internet:

The last one is skeptical about the connection. The first 2 believe it.

I never really needed to lose weight but i do know alot about the body
Try eating low-fat cheese, and eat smartstart cereal with skim milk for breakfast.
Also drink alot of water, it contains magnesium.
by the way, bcut down on red meats, eat fish and sometimes chicken
