Reduce abdominal fat with CLA
If you want to reduce abdominal fat then try CLA( Conjugated linoleic acid).Cla is a fatty acid, that has been shown to reduce abdominal obesity.
Studies have shown that CLA fatty acid reduces body fat while increasing lean muscle mass. In a study ,participants,took 3000 mg of CLA a day for 3 months. The results showed a 20 percent loss in body fat and a five percent increase in lean muscle.
In another long study , 25 men who were on CLA have seen their abdominal diameter (waist measurement) significantly reduced. The decrease in waist measurement was an average of 1.4 cm. Still better none of the men changed their eating habits or exercise routine during the month long study.
Mice fed CLA had a 60 percent lower body fat compared to the control group. CLA has consistently shown an ability to reduce body fat while maintaining lean muscle mass. When CLA is combined with gaurana (an herb) f at burning effects are greatly enhanced and appetite reduced so as to reduce abdominal fat .
It has been proven that CLA prevents fat from entering the cells and reduces the amount of food that is stored as fat.
And, the list CLA supplementation benefit is long. It may lower LDL cholesterol and improves insulin sensitivity. It also helps maintain healthy cell membranes. CLA has also shown some cancer protection properties.
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) can be found in meat such as lamb ,beef and in dairy products like yogurt, and butter. Because, most cows are fattened in feedlots on grains and not on grasses there is less CLA in food today. To be sure that you are getting enough CLA from your food eat meat from cattle that are fed grass.
Many people have decreased their dairy and meat consumption so as to lose weight. They are therefore not getting enough CLA from their food. As a result supplements are necessary. CLA capsules can be found at most health food and vitamin stores.
It is worth noting that it has been suggested that a deficiency of CLA in our diet may be the reason for the present day obesity epidemic. Previous generations included much more dietary CLA.
Research has proven that CLA can reduce abdominal fat, improve insulin sensitivity and increase your fat metabolism. Most studies involved taking six 500 mg. capsules of CLA each day on an empty stomach. It is very important to include CLA in all weight loss programs. You should ,however, consult you doctor before starting a supplement program.
