Yes, you read that right… there is a type of healthy Trans fat that will help you burn belly fat.
It sounds too good to be true?
You’ve heard, over and over again, I’m sure trans fats are not good for us and we should, as far as possible, stay away from foods that contain them; especially the artificial ones. They can cause all kinds of diseases.
But not many people know that there is a natural trans fat that can really help us. It is known to stimulate fat loss and help with building lean muscle.
Where does this trans fat come from? It is found in the meat and milk of ruminant animals such as sheep, cows, goats, etc. And what is this wonderfully natural trans fat called? Conjugated Linoleic Acid, commonly known as CLA. Animals that have been fed grass have a higher percentage of CLA in their milk than those that have been fed grains and silage; in fact, research shows that 500% more CLA is found in the milk of animals that graze on pastures.
CLA is associated with the fight against cancer, the improvement of insulin levels in diabetics and the preservation of muscle tissue and the reduction of body fat; research from a placebo study showed an average loss of six pounds of body fat in the group receiving CLA; also found the approximate daily use required to reap the benefits in body fat, which is 3.4 grams.
CLA works by keeping fat cells small; it does not appear to decrease the size of larger fat cells. It was also found that those who had been on a diet and stopped; by regaining weight, they were more likely to gain muscle rather than fat.
This information does not apply to CLA supplements as they are not natural; they have been artificially created and do not contain the health benefits found in the natural source. But now you know that there is a natural trans fat that will help you burn belly fat and boost your metabolism, making your weight loss journey that much easier!
