A Supplement That Burns Fat?

A fat-burning pill?-- it's everyone's dream. That dream may have come true. Norweigian doctors have determined that Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), a polyunsaturated fat that's found naturally in red meat and dairy, really does reduce fat.

Using supplements containing 75 to 80% CLA, they gave 180 overweight volunteers 3.4 grams of CLA or a placebo every day for a year. Compared to the placebo group, those who took CLA lost about 9% of body fat, on average. They also increased lean body mass by about 2% -- regarless of diet or exercise habits.

Researchers don't know exactly how CLA works, but they believe it may decrease the amount of fat stored after eating and help the body use existing fat for energy.

In the study, weight loss was minimal, due to increases in lean body mass. More research is needed, says study author Jean-Michel Gaullier, a biochemist, but he suspect that CLA's ability to reduce body fat might enhance a diet and exercise regimen.
