    Default can tonalin make me gain weight?

    and yes, i'm working out

    i took it before, the gnc brand. i liked it then, but i stopped. recently i started working out and eating healthy, and ive lost weight. i started my tonalin again, maybe a week ago, but this time its the natrol brand. i swear i'm looking more bloated and gaining. im not eating perfect, but not horrible, and i'm still working out - cardio, even. before i was just doing yoga, mostly.

    anybody know whats going on? i'm going to try and finish the bottle (60 capsules, im taking 4 a day, so not even 2 weeks worth) and see. but buying another bottle, im not so sure...

    I read in another thread unless you are working out AND eating well, it will add weight.

    Could the weight be muscle or are you gaining in inches too? I'm just thinking if you recently lost weight some of that weight could be muscle and taking the tonalin again could be increasing your muscle mass.

    I'm taking the natrol brand too and I have definitely noticed myself getting smaller and more toned (through how my clothes fit). I haven't weighed myself for about a year though, but I would be interested to see how I compare to what I weighed then because my body is definitely smaller.

    Maybe try Lysondra's tip of drinking green tea with it?

    Yeah that's the thing that sucks about not weighing myself too, sometimes I can't work out whether it is in my head or real
    Can you go on a pair of jeans or something?

    i think thats part of the problem. i know ive lost weight, bc my pants that used to not fit, fit again. but you know how true religions and sevens stretch a lot? so one day they might be loose or perfect and then i wash them and theyre tight. that might be messing with me...

    ..or you can put them in the dryer and then hardly bend over when they were so loose and falling off a couple of days ago...

    My Wranglers do that. Annoying.

    My bottle of Tonalin says that one serving of 3 capsules is 30 calories. Even if you were taking 6 a day, that's 60 calories. Over the course of a week, that's 420 calories, and it would take you about 8 1/2 weeks to gain a pound from Tonalin alone.

    Honestly, it could be anything. It could be water weight, PMS, too much sodium in your diet, a really big poop, stress, you name it. It's probably not the pills, though.

    Yes, Tonalin is actually Omega-3 fatty acid. Its most effective when you are on a low-fat diet (no more than 20% of your daily caloric maximum) and are burning fat in the most efficient manner possible. The best was to do that is through aerobic forms of muscle building excercise such as resistance training whilst keeping your heart rate up.

    I took too much Tonalin before (5-6) a day, and it caused me to retain fat on my lower belly and over my hips while the rest of me got very toned and lean.

    There is little benefit to taking more than 2-4 a day, and even less benefit if you have a high-fat diet.

    ^^^I am so glad you posted that, because I had been taking 6 a day and I have a high fat diet (can't help it-I love cheese & pasta). I recently cut back to 3 a day just because I hate taking them...I'm gonna cut that back to 2 now.

    I take Tonalin,but I also take 1000 milligrams of flax oil a day,along with 2400 milligrams of fish oil.
    Should I lower my Tonalin intake? Or not take any other fatty-acid suppliments with the Tonalin? I work out,but could I be taking too many oils and retaining weight from it?
