3 Fats that burn fat or help you lose weight
Omega-3 fats help you burn fat by helping your body respond better to a hormone called Leptin (Leptin is the Greek word for thin) and...
- Leptin tells your body (your brain) to suppress your appetite making you eat less so you can maintain or lose weight and...
- Leptin increases your metabolism by increasing your thyroid output (your thyroid regulates your metabolism) and on top of all that...
- Leptin also causes your body to burn fat for energy so...
If your body isn't responding well to Leptin then the reverse happens - You'll be hungrier, and you'll store more fat so... You can take Omega-3 fats to help your body respond much better to Leptin so you can increase your fat-burning metabolism
The best sources of Omega-3 fats are Omega-3 supplements or... You can also eat Salmon, tuna, herring, sardines, flaxseed, pecans, walnuts, hazelnut, butternut, mackerel, anchovies to get your Omega-3 fats and...
Here's 3 more ways Omega-3 fats control your weight
- Omega-3 fats help you control your hunger by stabilizing your blood sugar levels and...
- An Australian study showed that when people took Omega-3 fats while on an exercise program burned more fat than people who Only Exercised (without taking Omega-3 fats) and people who exercised & took other types of fat and...
- Studies done in Japan & The Czech republic suggest that Omega-3 fats prevent the creation of ugly body fat and these same studies suggested Omega-3 fats promote more fat burning.
2. CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
CLA is good for helping you get rid of belly fat and According to The International Journal of Obesity (August, 2001)...
- A group of overweight men taking CLA lost mostly belly fat and... they reduced their waistlines by 1 inch while taking CLA and the CLA helped them lose all that belly fat without making any diet or lifestyle changes and...
- In a similar study women lost mostly only belly & thigh fat with CLA and they reduced their waistlines by1.2 inches and...
- A group of overweight people lost 9% of their body fat and increased their lean muscle mass by 1-to-2% just by taking CLA with NO changes in their diet or lifestyle - this all happened during a year-long research study done by the Scandinavian Clinical Research Group
- A University of Wisconsin Study at Madison concluded that CLA is good for preventing weight gain in people who had previously lost weight dieting and even if dieters gained weight after dieting while still taking CLA - half of the weight gained back was lean muscle (and you know muscle burns fat anyway)
- Listen to this: "CLA doesn't make a big fat cell get little. What it rather does is keep a little fat cell from getting big." -
Michael Pariza, director of the Food Research Institute, on his findings from the University of Wisconsin Study at Madison on CLA.
Although CLA is found in various meats & dairy products - the fat burning benefits of CLA will be offset by the higher amounts of bad fats in meats so YES...
It may be necessary for you to take CLA supplements to get the full fat-burning benefits and to see those fat burning results - you should take 3-to-7g of CLA daily and make sure whatever CLA supplements you use contain 80% CLA.
3. GLA (Gamma-linolenic acid)People lost between 9-to-11 pounds in 6 weeks while taking GLA during a study done by Dr Mri - a researcher and consultant at the Welsh National School of Medicine in Cardiff and the good & bad news about most studies involving GLA is That You have to be at least 10-to-20% overweight to see any results but...
GLA prevents weight gain in people who've lost weight plus GLA is also an appetite suppressant since it raises the levels of serotonin (and serotonin is a hormone that makes you feel full and eat less) and...
GLA raises your metabolism by making the "Brown fat" in your body burn calories to keep your body warm.
Brown fat (or Brown Adipose tissue) is not the same as the ugly "wh
ite" fat that accumulates on your arms, belly, thighs and other problem areas - Brown fat's main job is to burn fat calories for energy to keep your body
warm but usually brown fat is not as active in overweight people and that's why you need GLA so you can
"turn on" Brown fat so it can help you burn off the ugly "white" fat
and...
GLA can be found in Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil
Other stuff you can eat to lose weight...

No - save your money - the fat from nuts and fish will be enough
It's still grazing when you eat the smaller meals but I would try to have a raw fruit and/or veggie with each meal to speed things up
stay in touch if you have more questions
Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 8:22 am
Firstly thank you so much for running such a useful and informative site Adrian! You've really given me the extra motivation to get back into shape. I'm a 36 year old guy, 6'2" and currently 245 lbs. A few years ago I was pretty fit and in good shape, I'm still a large frame but as you can tell from my weight things have slipped recently (mostly belly but an all over layer really). I'm determined to turn the corner and get back into shape though, and I feel about 195-205 lbs would be a good target for me to aim for with my body size.
I'm following your great advice about calories, excercise and smaller but more frequent meals, but I've only just set out on my journey to get back into shape so can't tell you how I'm doing so far (other than I've got that 'started exercise again' ache!). I'm really enjoying both cardio and resistance again, although at the moment my endurance is practically zero! Serves me right for being so lazy I guess! A couple of questions though if you don't mind.
#1 If I am going to be good with nuts/berries/raw veg through the day, is it worth me going for these suppliments also?
#2 Will I get the same benefits of increased metabolism if I 'graze' on raw veg through the day rather than having set smaller meals with gaps in between?

You can take CLA but more importantly...
you need a weight loss plan here to lose 20 pounds
Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 9:52 am
I am 13 and I am about 20 pounds over weight and need to drop that weight to get into shape for football is it ok for me to take CLA?

You should have fear - I would consult your doctor about this if you have allergies
Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 5:44 pm
I did like to take a dietary supplement,such as Borage oil and Tonalin CLA,but i`m little bit scared,becouse my allergies.
i am allergic to erbs,grass,flowers and many kinds of naturals products and in addition i`m allergic to any kind of nuts and shell fishes...
should i take this supplements without fear?
i`m 5,9 tall and weigh 185lbs
Alessandra | 06.05.09 - 6:22 pm
elina,
Being that you already lean - VERY Strict diet and intense exercise is what you need to focus on more than supplements
Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 8:54 am
I'm about 109 and taking gla and cla supplements will i see any results taking these pills or will it only work if your overweight?
elina | 05.29.09 - 10:46 pm
kelly,
It should still work like that
Adrian Bryant | 04.15.09 - 8:50 pm
I recently started taking CLA. The softgels are huge and i can't get them down. I've been opening the softgels and drinking it in my water. It has no taste so it is fine with me but by taking it this way will it have the same effect?
kelly | 04.15.09 - 4:50 pm
Rachel,
Yes - it's okay to get these supplements from Sam's club or Wal-mart like I do
Adrian Bryant | 04.11.09 - 8:29 pm
I was wondering is it okay for me to get these supplements from a regular store like Sam's or other grocery store than ordering online? What should I look for on the bottle if I do buy from the store?
Rachel | 04.11.09 - 12:56 am
Ahmer,
#1 - these are not "drugs" and...
#2 - all of these are natural supplements and...
#3 - you don't have to buy any healthy fats so...
#4 - you can get healthy fats for free by eating the proteins listed at NowLoss.com/199

Even though there r a lot of comments from people nt know,but yet how can i be sure that this is not just another drug in the market to rip people off?
Ahmer |
03.24.09 - 8:45 am
just wondering,
You need to consult with a doctor on that question
ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.15.09 - 2:56 pm
Does the omega 3, cla, and gla have any affects on someone taking metformin ( its for high sugar levels)
just wondering | 03.14.09 - 10:57 pm
goodm3,
Anytime is fine and if you're eating the foods listed at NowLoss.com/199...
You don't need to worry about getting CLA
Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:29 pm
First off, i love your youtube vids!
For the CLA...when is best time to take it. Before a AM-workout or spreadout during the day????
goodm3 | 02.21.09 - 6:38 pm
Jamie,
No - it's because you focus on supplements doing the job for you
CLA helps but you need to do this to really lose last 10 pounds
Jamie | 02.09.09 - 10:55 pm
clara,
I can't answer that since wellbutrin sr is an anit-depressant drug and you'd need to ask your doctor this question
clara | 02.09.09 - 1:15 pm
mom of 2,
In your case - you'd be better off asking your personal doctor this
question because of my limited experience with this - I don't want to
harm you unintentionally
mom of 2 | 02.04.09 - 10:39 pm
Naseem,
You don't have to take the CLA supplement and believe me...
Although CLA helps - I guarantee you a REAL BIG part of your weight loss has been from diet & exercise so...
NOT taking CLA will make you stop losing weight but NOT diet & exercise will make you NOT lose weight
Im currently taking both the cla and the gla supplements.The cla supplement is cousing me to have heartburn which is very annoying since I never experienced it before and really has me thinking I should just stick to the diet and exercise istead of cla,yet I also feel the benifits as well of the cla supplement.I guess my
I guess my question is should I still take the cla supplement?

stace,
I doubt it but you should really ask a medical professional to make sure about that
stace | 10.23.08 - 5:21 pm
Lynn,
You can but you can eat more fish & nuts to get healthy amounts of CLA, GLA, & omega-3 to help you burn fat plus...
Before you take an appetite suprressant like addipex - Look at this to save money
Lynn | 09.28.08 - 10:37 pm
Omega 3 is healthy in our body that's why I suggest that drinking pineapple juice with omega 3 may help increase a healthy lifestyle.

Nardo,
Ensure is OK but make sure you also eat plenty of whole foods and lean proteins as well to maximize weight loss

Takedia Magee,
Yes it's okay to take Omega-3's, CLA, and GLA along with green tea and remember - if you're eating fish and nuts and other weight loss foods - you'll be getting plenty of the FATS that burn fat in your diet anyway and as for dosage...
Taking the recommended dosage listed on the supplement is usually all you need to get the weight loss benefits
Takedia Magee | 07.02.08 - 10:28 am
I have started taking CLA and it's really amazing!
I haven't seen any results yet, but it has really suppressed my appetite in an unbelievable way!!
I am trying to recover from bulimia, and CLA is really helping me a lot!
