“Plasma vitamin D predicts subsequent weight loss, suggesting a potential role for vitamin D in promotion of weight loss, perhaps through effects on adipose metabolism,” the study’s authors conclude in their abstract about their findings.

Vitamin D can be obtained from sun exposure, foods (fatty fish such as salmon) and supplements.
