Grass-fed Beef, CLA And Weight Loss

Q. Do you recommend grass-fed beef? I've heard that it contains CLA and can help you lose fat. The CLA in beef is also supposed to work better than a CLA supplement. What's the deal?

A. With more and more people questioning how their food is produced, there’s a lot of buzz about grass-fed beef.

One of the reasons that grass-fed beef is popular with people wanting to lose fat is the fact that it contains higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat sold in pill form as a weight loss supplement.

On average, a single 3.5 ounce (99 grams) serving of grass-fed beef provides around 1.2 grams of CLA. The same amount of regular beef provides 0.5 grams of CLA. So with grass-fed beef, you're getting 2-3 times the CLA.

What's more, CLA supplements contain a type of CLA that is different to the natural CLA that’s found in beef. And according to some claims I’ve seen, “the only form of CLA is that going to benefit your health and help you to reduce body fat is the natural CLA isomers from grass-fed beef."

Do the claims about grass-fed beef, CLA and weight loss stand up to scrutiny?
