Lately there have been times where we have been talking about the various benefits we can offer the CLA or conjugated linoleic acid in our body. This has been making the kinds of fatty acids distributed in the form of nutritional supplements to be added to foods to lose weight.

Conjugated linoleic acid occurs naturally in very small quantities in humans and other mammals, as well as vegetable oil. But in ruminants that produce much, then it is in the fat of these animals, and especially in their milk, where we can find them more abundant.

Note that the name refers to the fatty acid conjugated isomers depending on the variety of their structures, such as cis, -9, 11, the most abundant in nature and trans-10, cis-12, which are most commonly found in nutritional supplements.

So far, CLA caused a number of benefits for our bodies, such as decreased appetite and an increase in the regulation of energy metabolism. This will translate into an increase in diseases such as type II diabetes, overweight and obesity, arteriosclerosis and heart disease, as well as anti-cancer action.

But it has been shown that dietary supplements enriched with CLA isomers trans causing significant damage in the kidneys of mice studied. Research conducted by a team from the Center for Cardiovascular Research Superior Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Institute of Catalan Studies Cardiovasculares. Results have been published in Frontiers in Bioscience.

This study shows that this type of trans fatty acids can cause various negative effects such as inflammation, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, increased oxidative stress, atherosclerosis, and excessive accumulation of fat in the liver.

Knowing this, the best advice is to not overuse this product in a prolonged and uncontrolled as the method to lose weight, because, though not yet shown a negative effect on humans (because of lack of study because they all have a period of more than one year) , is highly unlikely that the consumption benefit. Another recommendation is to know the type of isomer is the product that we consume, be careful not to consume any type of trans isomers of CLA.

Want to lose weight through exercise and healthy eating, but still get extra help from supplements, it is good to here some knowledge about it: What nutritional supplements are, what level and in what dose should you use them? And they do have much effect as claimed or they work only if you move too of doing?

Do not expect miracles by the use of dietary supplements. It makes no sense to use these supplements if you continue eating unhealthy and too much of. The basis for a healthy weight and lose weight is for the most part in exercise and healthy diet, but you do not eat more than you need!

Chitosan – block fat diet.

Chitosan can be seen as a magnet that attracts fat. Chitosan literally takes the fat from the food you get inside and prevents it being absorbed by the body. But: then it gets all fat from your food, so the good unsaturated fats, such as you find in fish, nuts and olive oil. Even if you’re on a diet, these good fats are essential! It is therefore advisable to only use chitosan in high-fat meals, if you have such a junkdag or products that contain more saturated fats such as meat, dairy products and fried. A beneficial effect of chitosan is that it helps to lower the bad form of cholesterol. The good cholesterol remains in tact. Chitosan works best with a dose of approximately 2 grams for the meal.

CLA – prevents absorption of fat.

CLA is a fatty acid, and comes in milk. It prevents fat from being included in the fat cells. This is used as fuel for the muscles. If you win something of muscle mass, even if you do not do any sport.

Vegetable Tea – increases the metabolic.

Green tea contains EGCG, a substance that helps prevent norepinephrine (a neurohormone) is degraded. Norepinephrine and ensures a high metabolism, so more connections. EGCG also helps prevent fat from being included in the fat cells. Now it appears to be that daily use of both green tea and CLA effects reinforce each other, while maintaining muscle mass. Take 3 to 3.4 grams of CLA daily with 270 mg of green tea.

Carnitine promotes fat loss.

One to two grams of carnitine stimulates fat burning. This substance is playing a major role in transporting fat into the cells of the burning muscle cell: the mitochondria. The substance is most effective when you take in a carbohydrate-rich meal, preferably fast carbohydrates.

If you (force) sport, you increase the fat burning effect when you give. Athletes take 1 to 3 grams at breakfast, the meal for the training and immediately after training.

Fish oil – omega-3

Omega-3 is a visvetzuren and belongs to the good unsaturated fatty acids. It helps in the loss of fat, especially on the trunk. It ensures that literally because fat cells shrink. Also contributes to good health by reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Fish oil capsules are available only with both omega-3, but also omega-6 and omega-9, swallowing daily tid 1.8 grams of omega-3 for the vetreducerende effect.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a Resveratrol with quite a few positive effects on health as the flu less chance, it is a powerful antioxidant and provides a good cardiovascular condition. But it also has effects on fat loss: it gives the impression that your body is fasting, which the body passes to the burning of fat stores. It also reduces fat storage by reducing insulin need. Also increases the fat burning by thermogenesis. Take 50 to 1000 mg of resveratrol daily morning on an empty stomach.
