I just starting using CLA about a week ago and my clothes are feeling looser. I don't own a scale so I can't tell you how much I lost.
I had posted a question, with no replies, what is the best way to take it? Some people say one with b/l/d others say before bed? Any suggestions?

haven't lost a thing. but i don't know that i got the right brand. it said "tonalin" but it didn't look like the bottle you guys described. (i also haven't been very consistent on them - because you have to take them so often, i never remember!)

I lost my 40lbs using the Tonalin brand of CLA. I took them failthfully every day breakfast/supper and bedtime. If I have eaten a fatty meal for supper(which I try not to!) I will take 2 capsules before bed.
Try to boost your metabolism by jump starting it--eat really low fat for a few weeks while doing an exercise routine of sorts. I do toning exercises every day. Back when I started I did the routine twice a day. I have completely changed my way of eating and absolutely find the time to exercise no matter what. My whole routine is only about 20 mins and I do it while watching tv. I try to do it every night around 6:30. I set that time aside and stick to it the best I can.
For the first month I ate a lot of veggie soup and ate a lot of cooked veggies. Once the weight started to come off I knew it was working and I kept it up. I lost the 40lbs in about 5 months. I have kept it off now for almost a year. I am not deprived of foods, I still have a bag or doritos every now and then (a big bag!) and eat at McDs every now and then, but most of the time I eat low fat.
I cut out coffee when I started (this was my motivation afte seeing a Dr. talk about how cutting out coffee will help you lose weight and had some stats.) He was right and I have never looked back. For me I added that yummy creamer to my 6 cups per day and that stuff is pure fat! Now I drink only tea and at most 2 cups a day.
I believe in CLA 100%. I think it does exactly what it says it will do.
Take care, and let me know if you have any more questions!

I just can't figure out if I have the right stuff. The bottle is from Vitamin World, so it's their brand, I guess. BUT it says "Tonalin" on the label. ?? It also says to take 2 pills twice a day and that is not what you did, right Robbit?

Notorious: CLA should be 1000mg/capsule. The Tonalin brand is a good one. The study I had read up on about CLA said the people lost the most weight taking 3000mg per day. That would be three capsules. You cannot "overdose" it is an essential oil.
I say take 3 a day.

I have been taking 4 pills of 1000mg at night before bed and eating a deit low in fat(30-40grams) and calories(1200-1400) per day and havent seen any real results yet and have been taking it for a while..Probably about a month and a half now..And I still exercise so I do not know what is going on there.Maybe I am just one of thoe people that it doesnt work for. I am using the Safflower ones not the Sunflower ones.. I got my bottle from GNC..

Safflower is more effective.

Chipmunkis--how are you doing on the CLA? I think you were just starting to see results when I was on the old board??

I have seen a jump in inches lost since I started the CLA (safflower). I never noticed anything when I took the one with sunflower oil, but now I am averaging 1.5 inches per week. So I think it works for me!
