If you’re not familiar with CLA, a.k.a. conjugated linoleic acid, it’s a naturally occurring omega 6 fatty acid that is found in certain foods. It’s also gained popularity as a highly marketed “fat burning” supplement.

Foods high in CLA include:
- Grass fed beef
- Organic, whole fat, grass fed dairy including: butter, cheese, yogurt, milk, and cream

And yes, it’s important to buy meat and dairy that is pasture raised, since grass fed beef and dairy contains up to 2-3 times more CLA than grain fed beef and dairy.

How Does CLA help you lose weight?
CLA may help you lose weight via improving insulin sensitivity by making the cells more receptive to insulin, as well as stimulating thermogenesis, which helps the body burn more calories.

Based on research on animals, it was shown that the supplementation of CLA helped increase the production of enzymes and proteins to reduce body fat, and help prevent future fat gain.

This is why you see synthetic versions of CLA added to many weight loss and fat burner supplements.

If you’re a subscriber, you know the most important aspect of weight loss is eating the right types of foods, that fill you up, while moving your body more effectively, to create a healthy calorie deficit.

You also understand, weight loss is an ongoing process. Think of it this way.

You didn’t wake up one morning fat. The body fat accumulated over time.

Sustainable weight loss is accomplished by coaxing your body to burn body fat over time, not over night.

Sure our Live Lean message may not be as exciting as what some bullsh!t supplement companies will promise you, but here’s the difference.

We give you the truth about sustainable weight loss.

But, even if research shows CLA may help burn body fat in animals, is it significant in humans?

Is CLA bad for you or is it good for weight loss?
When tests were done on humans, they showed CLA supplementation had small and minimal effects on weight loss.

The type of CLA found in most supplements, is different than the CLA found naturally in pasture raised foods.

The CLA found in pasture raised foods, is far superior in fat burning compared to the CLA found in most supplements.

The CLA in many supplements tend to be derived from sunflower and safflower oil.

Plus they need to be taken in larger doses, just to have a minimal fat burning effect.

If you watched my video on the best cooking oils, you know vegetable oils like sunflower and safflower oil are high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids.

So higher doses of a CLA supplement may put you at a greater risk for increased inflammation.

Bottom line on CLA supplements:
The amount of fat burning via CLA supplementation is minimal, and in my opinion, not worth your hard earned money.

As I always say, you can’t out supplement a bad diet.

I’d rather see you invest your hard earned money into pasture raised, grass fed beef, that naturally contains CLA, and a whole bunch of other healthy fat burning and muscle building nutrients.
