How can CLA help your weight loss?

CLA, which is conjugated linoleic acid, is something you may or may not have heard of before. It is a slightly altered form of linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid. CLA is naturally occurring in dairy products, beef, and eggs.
Why am I mentioning it? CLA has been shown to help you lose a little bit more body fat that you would without it. Here is an article from Prevention magazine talking about a study done on CLA. I don’t like the fact that it refers to it as a “diet pill” because it isn’t, but the study is interesting. Read here.
I have been a CLA user for a few years now. I really recommend it because I’ve seen the results. Alongside a healthy diet and some exercise, CLA did help me lose more body fat with it than without it. It won’t be as much extra fat loss as you will get taking crazy heart racing diet pills, but this is actually something that is natural! It just provides that extra help to keep you motivated and keep you fitting in those skinny jeans (or whatever the man equivalent might be.)
If you do decide to use it, be patient. It will not make you lose weight in 2 weeks, but rather over a number of months.
To your health,
