    I take CLA, Omega Fish Oil, and Multi V along side proper caloric intake...That's it and its consistently working for me :)
    I did the same thing for about six months with one month on then one month off. Sadly I didn't see any difference in the amount of weight I was losing with or without those supplements. I used tonalin cla, which I got for about 5 bucks a bottle. I don't remember how much the vitamin or the fish oil was, but I know I'm out at least $15 for a six month experiment. I haven't bothered with cla or fish oil at all this year. I still haven't had a weight loss plateau doing it the natural way yet.

    There is only one over the counter supplement that has been approved by the FDA and shown in well documented double blind tests that it helps lose weight. It is a fat blocker that is sold over the counter in a reduced dose form of a prescription drug. It must be combined with a healthy diet like MFP to be effective. Only cutting calories truly causes weight loss. Health food supplements are also often dangerous but have not been researched as well and are not required by the government to reveal side effects. Our son took an "energy drink" and ended up in the emergency room with his heart fibrilllating. They had to used paddles on him. Exercise is the healthy alternative for raising metabolism and burning some calories..:flowerforyou: Carole

    You can always count on grandmas for some words of wisdom.

    I used Oxy Elite Pro because of the time restraint I had. I am in the army. I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy. The Army is downsizing and I needed to lose 60 pounds in 6 months. I paired it with a balanced and healthy diet as well as exercise everyday. I didn't notice much of a difference, but it did help me beat plateaus when I reached them.
