Is it too good to be true?
You’ve heard, again and again I’m sure, how trans fats are not good for us and that we should stay away from foods that contain them as much as possible; Especially the artificial ones. They can cause all kinds of diseases.
But very few people know that there is a natural trans fat which can actually help us. It is known to encourage fat loss and help build lean muscle.
Where does this trans fat come from? It is found in meat and milk of ruminant animals like sheep, cattle, goat etc. And what is this wonderful natural trans fat called? Conjugated Linoleic Acid, commonly known as CLA. Grass-fed animals have a higher percentage of CLA in their milk than those fed grain and silage; In fact, research shows that milk from pasture-raised animals has up to 500% more CLA.
CLA has been linked to fighting cancer, improving insulin levels in diabetics, and preserving muscle tissue and reducing body fat. Research from placebo studies showed that the group that was given CLA decreased an average of six pounds of body fat; It also found the estimated daily intake needed to achieve gains on body fat is 3.4 grams.
CLA works by keeping fat cells smaller; It does not reduce the size of large fat cells. It was also found that people who were abstinent and stayed; When losing weight, you are more likely to grow muscle as opposed to fat.
This information does not apply to CLA supplements as they are not natural; They are synthetically made and do not contain the health benefits found in the natural source. But now you know there is a natural trans fat that will help burn belly fat and increase your metabolism, making your path to weight loss even easier!
