The Minnesota-based researchers recruited 38 overweight men and women and followed assigned them to a calorie-restricted diet, which provided 750 calories a day fewer than their estimated total needs, for 11 weeks. Blood levels of Vitamin D were measured before and after the 11 week period.
On average, many of the subjects were Vitamin D insufficient. Additionally, higher baseline vitamin D levels were linked to increased loss of abdominal fat.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the University of Minnesota, and the Pennock Family Endowment at the University of Minnesota.

While our bodies do manufacture Vitamin D on exposure to sunshine, the levels in some northern countries are so
