Reduce Belly Fat With Tonalin CLA Supplements

By Jane Moore

Can Tonalin CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) help you reduce belly fat? The answer is a very encouraging yes. Millions of Americans struggle with their weight. Being overweight causes significant health problems and is damaging to one's self esteem. Recent studies are giving hope to the idea that a simple natural supplement may give people a boost in their weight loss struggles.

Recent research done out of the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, found that overweight adults who took a daily supplement of CLA managed to lose weight prior to Christmas holidays. More importantly, the subjects taking the CLA supplement were able to maintain their weights while simultaneously reducing the amount of their daily exercise and indulging in typical holiday fare.

The remarkable results of this holiday study were repeated by researchers at the University of Wisconsin which is located in Madison, Wisconsin. This second study had a sample size of 40 overweight adults. In this second study researchers gave half of their study subjects a daily supplement of Tonalin CLA while the other half took a placebo pill. The subjects were studied over a period of six months

The nutritionists from Wisconsin found that the experimental group that took the CLA supplement lost weight before the holiday season and did not gain any weight over the holiday season. They also found that the experimental group who took the placebo had Christmas holiday weight gain that much more than what was gained in the pre-holiday period. Throughout the entire study, there were no differences between the control group and the CLA supplement group with respect to exercise or amount of calories consumed.

At the end of the 24 week study, the group taking the CLA supplement lost a total of 2.2 pounds of fat. Also during the critical pre-holiday season period (November and December), the CLA group lost weight while the control group gained a total of 1.5 pounds of fat mass. Just over two pounds of fat might sound minimal. However, this loss was strictly ?fat? and not water loss or muscle loss. The subjects who took the CLA supplement also found that they seemed to lose re belly fat. Belly fat is associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

There are a few different types of CLA supplements. Research showed that a mixture of two common forms held the most promise for fat loss. Happily, this mixed form is easy to find. Tonalin CLA is the only easily available and clinically proven form of CLA. It was used in the above described studies.

The studies and research seem to indicate that that there are very few risks in taking the mixed-form Conjugated Linoleic Acid or Tonalin CLA supplements. If considering whether CLA supplements would be an appropriate inclusion in your weight loss program you should talk to your doctor. - 17269
