You can spend a lot of money on gadgets and gizmos that promise to magically melt your belly fat. The problem: You'll only lose your money. Dr. Mehmet Oz has a holistic solution to tackle that tummy: A one-two punch of conjugated linoleic acid (more commonly known as CLA) and green tea, reported Radar Online recently. Get the skinny here on how these holistic remedies can whittle your waistline.
- How green tea helps: Because it contains catechin, which is an antioxidant that helps burn fat faster, green tea has been shown in studies to boost weight loss, explains Dr. Oz. He recommends drinking two cups a day. Tip: If you dislike the flavor of green tea, you haven't met the right brand yet! We recommend Stash Premium Green Tea (click to order) for its clean flavor. You can sweeten your tea by choosing a zero-calorie natural choice in Sweetleaf Stevia (click to buy now). And for those who want to add milk to their cuppa tea, try a lower calorie alternative: Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconut at just 45 calories a cup (click for details).
- How CLA helps: Studies show that it enhances lean muscle tissue while decreasing belly fat, says Dr. Oz. What kind and how much: Take 3,400 mg daily of CLA. You can divide it into three doses, taking one dose with each meal. For example, take one Muscle Pharm CLA 1000 Mg Softgel Capsule with each meal (click for details). Be cautious about choosing a brand that has additional ingredients, as the total mg indicated on the label of such brands may result in a reduced dosage of CLA.
