in Health and Weight Loss
Hey I just started CLA three days ago, just curious for opinions on this stuff from people on here that have or are still actually using it. Looking for other peoples results, time it took to notice a difference and other feedback. I am using the allmax brand, 3 pills a day just as I'm about to eat a meal and I am a very healthy eater 1200 calories/gym 6 days a week.

    Hi! Are you talking about the CLA products from GNC? If so, I drink the RMD and used to take the pills. I don't take the pills anymore because I wasn't seeing they were doing anything for me.

    What difference are you thinking you'll see? there isn't any magic pill that makes weight loss easy, fast or "more effective". Notice that they still say to eat a "sensible diet and exercise" (or some version of that) so in honesty, you could do that, lose weight and not be out so much money.

    CLA made the difference to me. I didn't change my diet or exercise (six years of healthy eating and exercise) other than CLA included and I lost inches with it. the mechanisms behind supplementation are complex, but it has worked for me

    you have to take 3.5 grams of the stuff a day to see an effect, and it has to be high quality.

    Be better off buying the powdered stuff as it's cheaper I believe.

    What is the reason for supplementing? Do you not eat meat or dairy? Not pro or anti, just curious about the reason why.

    Eat red meat instead. It tastes better.

    I am not sure about CLA but am posing a question to you. Are you planning on using CLA for the rest of your life?

    I understand the appeal of supplements, but am actually losing weight and keeping it off with portion control and exercise. I have lost weight lots of times--the hard part is keeping it off FOR LIFE!

    Good luck to you!

    I've been eating awesome and clean staying around the 1200-1400 range, since Feb. and working hard at the gym 6 days a week! I started at 120lbs and I am down to a proud to say 108 I feel strong and healthy now I've started eating better, bigger breakfasts and lighter suppers! Got me some nice muscles too if I don't say lol. Just wanted to try the cla thing to see if it can help the stomach area, it's not huge just not quite where I'm happy with it yet. I know there are nice abs under there as I do work my core a lot. ! It's more of an experiment of sorts, but I am hoping to see some results. I'm using the allmax brand. Hope it's not a complete waste of cash. I have done a lot of research and talked to my doctor and I think it's a pretty safe experiment. I got 2 bottles and am taking the correct suggested dosage! ????????
