CLA might sound familiar. Here's a hint: Omega 6. GLA is an essential fatty acid, as is CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid. Essential fat? Aren't you and your sister trying to lose weight? Actually, CLA can help aid your weight loss program, just like green tea and chromium. Weight loss professionals recommend 2000 mg with a reduced calorie program and regular exercise program with cardio and strength training as well as Pilates. You should think about this while you and your sister jump, jive and wail in dance class (great aerobic exercise): Doctors, naturally, have little evidence to support claims that conjugated linoleic acid helps in weight loss. So you may want to talk to your doctor--right after swing dancing and salsa dancing. CLA sounds less glamorous than getting your groove on.
