CLA
hey sassy,
if you get a chance, in the october/november issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers on page 86, there is a great article about CLA. basically it states that CLA is better used to keep fat off once you have lost it. CLA inhibits fat to re-enter the fat cell, so that once you have lost the fat, it won't fill the cell back up. The article also states that CLA can increase lean body mass during development. so that means it would benefit you if you are doing some sort of weight training or resistance program. To receive benefits, 3 grams must be taken, which can be expensive.
The article is great if you get a chance to pick it up! I personally have tried CLA and it made me nauseous at times so i had to take it with food. after some time, i couldn't afford to be paying for the supplement anymore, but once i get to my goal weight, it may be something i may pick up again. my friend's boyfriend used it and had some success. he lost three pounds, and gained muscle, but he was on an intense cardio and weight program.
best of luck! hope this helped!
