For six months I’ve been on a low-calorie diet, and I’m thrilled with my new body. But I know I won’t be able to resist treats like pumpkin pie, eggnog and my mom’s gingerbread at holiday gatherings. Is there a supplement that will let me indulge without gaining weight back?
Yes! I suggest taking 360 mg of gamma linoleic acid (GLA) daily throughout the holiday season. GLA has been shown to stimulate activity in brown fat—a metabolically active type of fat tissue that actually helps boost metabolism so extra calories are burned for energy instead of stored. In one study, women supplementing with GLA lost an average of 2 to 3 pounds per week without dieting. And as a welcome bonus, GLA fortifies skin cells with natural oils and moisture that will make your complexion look dewy and youthful—so you’ll dazzle from head to toe at your holiday parties.
