Dieting FAQ, Q&AA 'Balanced' diet and abdominal fat
Q: I exercise on a regular basis at gym doing an overall exercise routine and I eat a good balanced diet but no matter what I do I still store fat at my abdomen.
I have tried different foods, low calories, protein and so on but no real change. I have read online about taking conjugated linolec acid supplements helping some people but then with a lot of things you also read negative reviews.
Can CLA make a difference or should I try alternative diets? I have an active busy job so it is not due to sitting around all day and just exercising for an hour at night.
I'm at my wits end is there any advice you can give me to maybe make a difference?
A: Do you really believe in 'balanced' diets? I must confess, I have no idea, after 20 years of research and practice, what this diet consists of. Also, balanced for what? Obviously, "low calories, protein" failed working against your belly fat, and for a good reason.
They could do nothing to improve your insulin sensitivity and put your metabolic resistance under control.
These things are very well researched and good health educators must start telling people that only when every meal will consist of foods having at least 2 grams of fats for every 1 gram of carbohydrates and protein COMBINED -- only then your body will be able to start burning your abdominal fat.
Since 2004, thousands of Banta dieters lose this exact stomach fat, invariably. Please fell free to go to http://bantadiet.com, look around, and register if what you see makes sense.
As to the CLA, here're an expert opinions:
Opinion: "Despite those ads guaranteeing you’ll lose weight when you take CLA, this supplement has no clear evidence to support this claim," according to Dr. Fred Pescatore, MD, MPH, CCN and author of The Hamptons Diet. "It is a medium chain triglyceride that may help metabolism and fat burning in the areas around the abdomen in an attempt to offset cortisol. However, in my opinion and my practice, I have never seen CLA do anything by itself for weight loss."
Facts: The supplementation of milk with 3 g CLA over 12 weeks results in a significant reduction of fat mass in overweight but not in obese subjects. CLA supplementation was not associated with any adverse effects or biological changes (British Journal of Nutrition (2007), 98).
Conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to reduce the body fat - Am. J. Physiol. 276; 1999; Lipids 36, 2001, pp. 773–781; J. Nutr. Biochem 17, 2006; Ann Nutr Metab. 2006;50(3):219-28
Given at a dose of 3.2 g/d, CLA produces a modest loss in body fat in humans. - Am J Clin Nutr 2007;85
Dietary conjugated linoleic acid supplementation for weight loss can have long-term effects on cardiac health - Eur J Pharmacology V 579, 1-3, 28, 2008
