Is Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
the magic bullet for weight loss?

If we are to believe some of the ads out there, you might be inclined to think so.
Keep in mind that supplements are just that. They are supplements NOT replacements for a healthy regimen. And a healthy regimen for weight loss consists of 2 main components: Fuel and Exercise.
1. Eating the right FUEL for your body is critical because you want to make sure you don’t store unneeded fat. And the way to do that is to eat fruits, vegetables, lean protein, legumes and whole grains.
2. Once you are preventing new fat from being stored, you want to burn the fat stores you already have. The best way to do that is though EXERCISE which mixes both cardio and resistance work.

When you combine exercise with a healthy eating regimen then you can insure that you are losing weight from your fat stores and NOT from your muscle mass. This is critical for the long term and for a healthy lifestyle that can last a lifetime.

So what about CLA? If you are following a healthy regimen regarding fuel and exercise then CLA can accelerate your weight loss. Not only does CLA help you burn fat from your fat stores, especially that stubborn belly fat, but it also helps you develop lean muscle mass. As I’ve noted before in this Blog “Muscle Dictates Metabolism”, so developing lean muscle is a very good thing and something that will serve you well in the long run.
