As I have mentioned in my previous article, a combination of Calcium and linoleic acid can help people lose weight.
Linoleic acid has a couple of benefits (list from Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Supplements May Speed Weight Loss):
- increases metabolic rate
- decreases abdominal fat
- enhances muscle growth
- lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
- lowers insulin resistance
- reduces food-induced allergic reactions
- enhances immune system
Natural sources for linoleic acid are vegetable oils (from soya, corn, sunflower, evening primrose, pumpkin), soya, nuts, sunflower seeds, nuts, avocado, some fruits and vegetables. Note: Too much linoleic acid can actually cause you to put on weight, which is actually what happened to me once upon a time. So be careful how much you have of them!
