What Is Conjugated Linoleic Acid? – Dr. Berg

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has a variety of health benefits and is good for weight loss too.

I was asked about conjugated linoleic acid, and I’m a proponent of it. It’s referred to as CLA, and it’s a type of fat that can help you burn fat. It comes from dairy and animal fat, as well as egg yolks, but the key is to consume 100% grass-fed animal products. You don’t want an animal that was switched to grains for the last few months. Otherwise, you’ll nullify the amount of conjugated linoleic acid.

Some of the benefits of CLA are: increased muscle strength and exercise endurance, helps with your metabolic rate, boosts your immune system, has anticancer properties, decreases body fat, and stabilizes blood sugar.

When you buy your meats, go to the farmer’s market for the best chance of finding true grass-fed meat. If you’re into exercise and trying to build muscle, you want to check out conjugated linoleic acid.

I love your videos and I have dropped a lot of weight on the Keto diet. The problem is my nurse/medical friends who insist this is a fad diet and that I need to add grains, more fruits (high carb ones) and a more vegetarian diet. It seems like everyone has an opinion! They also say to dump dairy! Help! I’ve lost 35 pounds eliminating oatmeal / bread/ pasta and do scrambled eggs every day with either bacon or sausage. My recent lab results show huge drops on cholesterol and my dr is impressed. I respect their credentials (one an ER nurse) but am always on the defense about this diet and results!
