Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
It's a daily dose of Tonalin CLA, an enzyme that is supposed to convert starches/carbs to fiber (::) ) and a thermogenic.
I am very skeptical of stuff like this, so we'll see.
I am going to post my results half way through and again at one month, if anyone is interested. Feel free to bump this and remind me to take the effing horse pills because I HATE them. If I stick to them it will be the first time I've ever dne so. I'm half doing it to achieve a small personal victory and half to achieve the physical results.
May the force be with me.

Tell me how it works out for you Dottie.
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Do you have to follow a certain diet/workout regimen with these? Or do they work stand alone?
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Oh, man. I sure hope not. Cause my diet ain't changin' for no one.
Does anyone know about this?
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Before pics? Or weight and measurements?
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
What does this stuff do? You definitely don't need to lose any weight, so I hope it's not that.
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Nah--not for weight loss at all. I'm hoping to get myself into top phsyical condition and have great muscle tone for an upcoming burlesque performance.
I started a weight tranining program and have been talking about it nonstop. A customer bought me this cause I've been chattering about my new obsession to everyone. It's actually not even vegan (Emily busted me through PM!) but I couldn't return it so I figured I'd give it a shot. What's the term...freegan? :)
I certainly don't want to lose any weight. I've been supplementing my diet with protein shakes and stuff. My skinny white ass would float away! I just want to increase muscle mass.
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Now, did you pick this out, or did the salesperson?
I'm betting it was the salesperson. They get extra commission off GNC-brand products, especially the thermogenics. In my time working there, I didn't run across one that wasn't complete crap.
(Sorry for the parade-raining)
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
As I said, it was bought for me. It wouldn't really occur to me to buy anything like this for myself.
Why do you say it's crap?

In order to increase the profit margin, GNC brand items are filled with cheap ingredients. The "thermogenics" are nothing but cheap caffeine. They don't give you enough CLA. And "thermozyme" is nothing but a digestive enzyme, and not a very good one, at that. But, as I said, GNC employees are motivated to sell it because of the commission they get off it.

**drumroll**
How did this work out for you Dottie Rebel?
I'm curious because I see soo many different recommendations for CLA and so many other diet pills (and threads with varying viewpoints) it makes my head spin. I'm scared to go into GNC uninformed because I know the sales people will just latch onto me. I'm taking just a women's multivitamin and eating okay/exercising 4 hours a week. I'm wondering if any supplements are worth it or if I should just stick with the slow and steady wins the race school of thought.
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Dammit, guys. I fail. I totally quit taking them after a week. :(
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Hahah oh well. From what Rozz said it sounded like they weren't going to do anything anyways.
Re: Just started a month long trial of GNC "Cut and Burn" (w/Tonalin CLA)
Rozz is right, the GNC brand is crap.... Blah. Well, even though you stopped taking them, how did the performance go?
