7 Tips to Lose Weight for Summer. Fall festivities often go hand-in-hand with roasts, creamy soups, and cheesy casseroles. Spring and summer gatherings, however, are more apt to feature cold salads, shrimp and chicken skewers, and lots of stone fruit, berries, and watermelon. Of course, it's still possible to overdo it on the cheeseburgers and ice cream. But with so many lighter choices available, it becomes much easier to pick healthy foods, says Lakatos.
Efficacy: Although CLA appears to reduce body fat mass in animals 17 , results from human studies suggest that its effects are small and of questionable clinical relevance 111 One double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the effects of CLA supplementation (as a 50:50 mixture of c9t11-CLA and t10c12-CLA) in 180 overweight male and female volunteers (BMI 25-30) consuming an ad libitum diet 109 Participants received CLA as a free fatty acid (3.6 g CLA isomers), CLA as a triacylglycerol (3.4 g CLA isomers), or placebo daily for 1 year. At the end of the study, body fat mass dropped by significant amounts with both forms of CLA compared with placebo; reductions, on average, were 6.9% with CLA as a free fatty acid and 8.7% with the triacylglycerol form. Supplementation with CLA as a free fatty acid (but not as a triacylglycerol) also increased lean body mass compared with placebo.
