Can’t seem to help but have another helping?

Family tradition to cook with bags of butter and tubs of salt?

Does grandma top the pie with ice cream, the ice cream with whipped cream, and the whipped cream with candy?

Either way, the holidays are our time to gather as a family and GET FAT!!

Did you know that the average American gains roughly 5 pounds over the Holiday!?

So how the hell do I avoid this!?

By simply adding a supplement called CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)

What the fuck is that?

It’s a fatty acid that is commonly found in meat and dairy (don’t get excited meat eaters, you can’t intake enough for the benefits to work) as well as safflower oil. (yay for vegans!!)

So I’m eating fat to burn fat? How does that work?

It will be increasing the basal metabolic rate. Basically it’s going to help your body convert fat into energy, thus, maintaining your weight.

How much do I take?

3,400mg a day.

Where do I buy this?

CLA is getting pretty popular now, so watch out for bandwagon brands. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check out ingredients and other ingredients. Often companies throw in filler fats in “blends” of their own so the front of the bottle will read “100omg per serving” when really you may be getting an ineffective amount of the actual CLA. Tonalin has patented a mix that is 750mg per serving. They sell their own line as well as being used by The Vitamin Shoppe. 

Take the CLA with your three main courses: Two with your two higher fat meals and One with your lower fat meal.

Example: I personally eat a higher fat breakfast and dinner, so I take two CLAs with each of those and then my lunch is lighter in fat so I only take one.

So, push those blues aside, and enjoy your Holiday feasts!!! 

Remember: Portioning is Possible and Sit ups still love you!!
