Reduce Belly Fat With Tonalin CLA Supplements
Can Tonalin CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) really help you lose weight? Recent studies are giving hope to the idea that a simple natural supplement may give people a boost in their weight loss struggles. Millions of Canadians struggle with weight problems. Being overweight causes significant health problems and is damaging to one’s self esteem.
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 results of Christmas period study were replicated the next year by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In this second study nutritionists gave half of their 40 overweight study subjects a daily supplement of Tonalin CLA pills and the other half took a placebo pill. This study lasted a period of six months
Throughout the period of the study, there were no differences between the control group and the CLA supplement group with respect to the amount of physical activity or the amount of calorie intake. The researchers found that the group that took the CLA supplement lost weight prior to the Christmas holiday season and did not gain any weight over the holidays. They also found that the control group had Christmas holiday weight gain that was significantly more than compared to that gained in the pre-holiday period.
During the pre-holiday period, which for the purposes of this study included November and December, the group taking the CLA supplements lost weight while the control group gained a total of 1.5 pounds of fat mass. As is to be expected, both experimental groups did less physical activity over the holidays. However, the CLA supplement group still managed to reduce their total body fat mass. Over the course of the 6 month study period, the CLA group lost a total of 2.2 pounds of fat. The subjects who took the CLA supplement found that there was also a tendency to lose belly fat. Losing belly fat is great for your health as that is the type of body fat that increase the risk of heart disease. Just over two pounds of fat might not sound like much but this loss was strictly ?fat? and not muscle loss or water loss. The researchers were able to measure the exact ?fat? loss by using highly accurate and sophisticated tools including under-water weighing.
Tonalin CLA is the only patented and clinically proven form of CLA that the majority of research studies have been done with. There are different types of CLA supplements. Research studies that mixed the two most common forms together showed the greatest promise of measurable weight loss. These specific types of CLA supplement capsules are commonly found at health food stores and drug stores.
In determining whether CLA supplements would be an appropriate inclusion in your weight loss program you should speak to your pharmacist. Studies have shown that that there are minimal to no risks associated with mixed-form Conjugated Linoleic Acid or Tonalin CLA supplements.
