Do CLA Supplements Really Work?
So with the above explanation, we know that CLA really works, but how exactly does it work? Basically CLA works in a few different ways in helping you lose weight and making sure that the weight loss is permanent.
1. Boosting your metabolic rate
CLA can stimulate a group of hormones in your body that regulate your metabolic rate. This stimulation will increase your metabolism, pretty much like when you’re exercising. The goal is to make your body think that you’ve been doing some heavy activities that require a lot of energy, therefore the body will start looking for “fuel” to burn, it could be carbohydrate or fat. So by increasing the metabolic rate, your body will enter a fat-burning mode.
2. Promoting the breaking down of fat
Being a natural substance, CLA can be absorbed by your body and enter your bloodstream quickly. After entering the bloodstream CLA will quickly replace your fat deposits with acid so it can be broken down easier, as well as interacting with a group of hormones that responsible to break down fat, so the fat can be processed by your body and turned into energy much quicker. Combined with high metabolic rate, it creates a chain reaction that becomes a super efficient fat burning process.
3. Suppressing appetite
Have you ever wonder why so many dietary supplements out there cannot provide permanent solution? That’s because they simply stimulate the fat burning process without limiting calories intake or changing the users’ eating habit. When you’re still maintaining your unhealthy eating habit, chance is you’ll never lose weight, or you might lose weight in the beginning and then after a short while you will start gaining back more weight.
CLA can suppress your appetite, so it can make sure that you will not consume too much calories. Your body will satisfy and will not crave for more foods even if you consume much less than you normally do. This will help you lose weight faster and maintain the ideal weight you have already achieved. The great thing is after consuming the supplement for at least six months, your body will get used to the new eating habit. So even when you have stopped taking the supplement, you can still suppress your appetite so you won’t have to worry about gaining back the excessive weight you have lost.
4. Increasing muscle mass
CLA is also very popular among bodybuilders because it can promote the forming of muscle mass. In fact, in the beginning CLA was more popular as being a bodybuilding supplement instead of a dietary supplement. This really makes CLA special, because this dietary supplement could actually replace fat deposits with lean muscle mass.
