Ok girls im getting confused. this stuff sounds good but it also sounds like many of u work out loads! Can someone explain to me all these variations of tonalin it sounds like theres more than one type, which should i be using??And im hoping i can buy this over the internet cos i dont think its here in the uk.

Ditto on what siliconedoll said. I want to start taking it but don't want to waste time or money using a crappy brand. From what I've read here it sounds like the VitaminWorld, Wal-Mart, and EAS brands are best, right? There's a VitaminWorld right across the street from my work... maybe I'll swing over there and pick some up.

They do stock it in UK. Try GNC or Holland and Barrett. They are costly though so you could always try the internet.

I think as long as tonalin is in the product at 1000mg and you take 2 capsules twice-three times daily, the stuff should be effective. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

Hey Malibu have you used tonalin yourself?

This stuff makes the weight just melt off..its quite ridiculous how well it really does work. I get comments everyday from people on how great I look. People I barely are aquainted with stop me to tell me how much thinner I've gotten. I'm super stoked off Tonalin.

Just so everyone know's taking Chromium Picolinate with CLA is supposed to speed up weight/fat loss. I have been taking them together for about 2 weeks and have already lost five pounds.

Here is a link for Chromium Picolinate for anyone who is not familiar with it.

Isnt there are RDA for chromium? Or is this kind different from that?

Does anyone have a better way to take this stuff..I take alot of pills during my day and get tired of taking so many.

damn, I wish I had weighed myself before I started the tonalin because honestly I seem to have less of a spare tire. I'm going to take a pic later on today and start keeping a photo progression. I'll weigh myself too.

i am at the two week point.
my weight seems more manageable.

i've been eating like crazy the past week and haven't worked out in that period of time
previous to the tonalin i would have blown up like a beach ball

but very little has happened.

but, i can't tell if it is the tonalin.
i have worked hard to up my muscle mass so i burn more calories.

i just can't tell if it is working or not.

I've been taking it about a month now and I don't know if it's making a difference besides my skin being softer. I've also been working with a trainer for about 2 months now so I am getting in better shape slowly but surely but I'm not sure how much is due to the tonalin. I'll give it more time though.

argh, i tried it today, lol... we'll see what happens with it :)

Ok I went on the holland and barrett website and found tonalin with CLA capsules (1000mg) but it just talked about safflower oil and linolic oil. it mentioned nothing about weight loss. Is this correct?

Okay I got my tonalin today... I just took it....with my food ( my first diet meal of the day )
Im looking to lose 10pds to 15pds....

Let see how it goes....

Oh one question...

Do you have to drink alot of water with this...??? I was taking trimspa and I did drink alot of water with that ( and it maybe worked for a second ) but I was drinking an overabundance of water....Do I have to drink a gallon or more a day???

Please let me know..

thanks

I think anytime you are on a weight-loss program, you should drink lots of water. I don't think an obscene amount, just the standard 8-10 8oz glasses/day.

well since this isnt a ladies only section.......for thoes of you having tummy trouble with it, take it with a glass of milk(non fat is better) and it will stop. And yes, men use it also.

Gynger
03-22-2005, 11:34 PM
Philly DJ is right!!! Drink your water too.. Farah got me started.. (thank you!!!) Take it with milk and keep your oils in a dry cool place, they can go rancid on you if you keep them longer than four months or so, or if you keep them someplace that gets warm.... and that will affect your tummy!

I started taking it and I noticed that I get horrible migraines when I take it, is that normal?

Shaden18, I have had migraines since I'm 11 years old and I haven't had any problem since I've been on Tonalin. Everyone is different with their migraine triggers though. I can't take birth control pills because they give me migraines and I get the aura before the pain starts so mine aren't common migraines.

Alright ladies, I just couldn't resist after reading all the rave reviews, I bought a bottle of EAS CLA at the grocery store (60 for $15...not such a great deal but I wanted them asap) and took my first pill. I guess I was expecting them to be monster sized or something because I didn't think their size was too daunting...no bigger than the Omega 3 soft gels I take. I took just one to start to make sure my body doesn't react negatively. I am anxiously awaiting an upsate for y'all.
XOXO

I just posted this on the other thread but I have a question. Can you take this while taking an anti depressant. I take Effexor for anxiety, a very low dose, but I have found herbal diet pills to not mesh well with them. Is anyone on here taking Tonalin CLA and an anti depressant. Any side effects??

ironjocelyn

I've been taking it about a week now... no weight loss so far but my skin is getting soft. I haven't been using lotion because I wanted to see if it would really help my skin, and it is :) Even if I don't lose anything I'll probably keep taking 1 or 2 as part of my vitamin routine to keep my skin softer.

Chrissy, you may want to call your doctor or ask a pharmacist before mixing the two.

Your probably right I should ask my doctor to be safe.

Chrissy, there are no stimulants in cla that would interact with your effexor. I use to be on antidepressants and you cant take any ephedrine based products because it erasses the afects of the drug. I think with the cla you will be fine.

im taking cla and zoloft right now.. doesnt seem too much of a problem.. i take the cla with breakfast and lunch, and then zoloft before bed, but i will let you know if anything changes :)

I took it for 3 weeks? I think. At first my skin got soft.....even my husband noticed that. My belly started tightening up and so did my butt. Then after a couple of days of being tight, I started gaining weight again. I was mixing it with pilates and I even started doing the treadmill every other day, but I still started gaining. I've stopped taking it and decided I would just work out and use lotion.

Great! thank you for the response. I found that effredra and and green tea products made me really dizzy. I think I will give it a try and I will post my results. Thanks :)

Well believe it or not last night was the first time i read this thread and today i already have my Tonalin :-) I hope it dosen't interefere with my going ot the bathroom cycle since for years its been normal and i always go everyday same time same place. Anyone having diarrea or pooping more? (besides the mentioned)? I'm afriad to mess up my perfect cycle that i love.

LittleLina

Stripperella-
The first time I took it, it definately acted as a mild laxative ;) , but that was the last time anything like that happened. I've been taking CLA for 2 and a half days now and already notice positive changes. This was the best product reccomendation I've ever tried.
Thank you ladies!

Bunny
03-25-2005, 01:17 PM
I haven't had any pooping problems on it. When I first took it a few times without food my stomach got a little gurgle in it but no diarrhea or anything. I might poop more than before but it's probably just from all the fiber I've been eating lately. Somebody I knew who was a serious body builder told me that you are supposed to poop a few times a day ideally? Is that true?

Stipperella
03-25-2005, 06:13 PM
I don't know i just poop once a day every day. Unless i eat something new that i should'nt' have eaten i will poop again in the same day.

im in the uk and just ordered some tonalin the other day. it said it takes between 5-10 days to arrive. im getting really impatient lol i have just this extra 6lbs to lose an i figured combining it with my gym work and diet could just possibly have a positive effect, judging by everyones reviews. ill drop you all a line if it works wonders ;)

Hey girlies! I've been taking my Tonalin CLA for .. uhm, close to 2 weeks now. I started off with the EAS version and took that whole bottle.. (60pills) then last week I wanted to try the suggested "Tonalin" brand.. so I got some from GNC. (and YES, the EAS ones are a little bit smaller, but not much) I've noticed my skin is a LOT softer, holy crap.. everyone who touches me notices.. even friends/co-workers who rub arms with me on accident say something. I am taking the 6,000mg's a day, normally 3 with breakfast, and 3 with lunch.. (my biggest meals) and they dont bother my tummy a bit.

Other than softer skin, I've noticed slight firming.. and I hope the progress continues. I'll keep you updated! And for the above posts, pooping once a day is normal.. but it's actually healthier to contain enough fiber in your diet to poop twice a day. So I've read. :D I like to think that I'm pooping out all the fat that the Tonalin is dissolving out of my body. LOL..

Well, it hasn't affected me negatively and I tihn I've been on it two or three weeks, I honestly don't know. I use colon clear anyway, so my cycle is pretty much regular.
I now fit into a pair of pants that wouldn't close a month ago, they are still tight, but zip up without any difficulty and that's the idea, right?
My buttis tighter, skin has always been soft so I can't tell yet, and I look smaller. I don't have a scale so I don't know if I am losing any body weight, but it looks good from here!

TigersMilk
03-26-2005, 03:27 PM
Colon clear?Never heard of it...what does it do for you besides keep you clean inside?
Gypsychild just measure yourself once a week with myo tape or plastic sewing tape to know if your dropping inches or less of you.

ok girls i have bought some tonalin yesterday for the first time. It says 500mg in the tonalin section but the other ingredients probably make it 1000mg so is it 500 or 1000? It says im supposed to take 2 in the morning and another 2 in the evening, does that sound right??P.s Naomi im in the uk too and just walked into my local branch of holland and barrett to buy mine.

Naomi
03-28-2005, 03:20 AM
i totally never thought to even look in there. i guess because i had never heard of it before, i just assumed it wasn't common in the uk. anyway, the only thing i frequent h&b for is those wicked 500cal+ flapjacks. 120 capsules cost me £11.45 and i got two... with free postage. is h&b much different price wise

I've been taking 2 1000mg pills with each meal (6 total per day). However, I have such a hard time remembering after each meal, so I usually only average 4 pills per day.

Do you think it would be ok to take 3 pills with 2 of my meals, still totaling 6 per day?

TigersMilk
03-28-2005, 10:07 AM
Yea KittyKat1971 but probably take it with food to avoid stomach upset.
I can never remember nor do I want to have to take pills every time I eat...so halfing it 3 in the morning and 3 towards the evening.

It's pretty much a fiber mixer that you put in your drink. It make you defecate and keeps the body on track in that area. It worked pretty much as a laxative for me when I first started taking it, but it's all natural and doesn't give you cramps.

I jumped on the bandwagon as well. Whoever mentioned bending forward so the pill would float right to the back of the throat---thank you thank you, it's helping with one of my other pills. I never thought of doing that---Doh!!!

O.k. i started taking these on 3-25-05 and its now 3-29-05 not only have i seen a change but people have told me also. My belly before i would have a little fat and today this person told me they noticed i'm losing my little fat that i had YAY!! This makes me feel great since i wasn't sure it was just my wishful thinking mind or if it was for real and it is for real. Can't wait to see more results. Oh and it didn't mess up my pooping cycle.
