    Default CLA (Tonalin) is a MIRACLE!!!

    Hello SW Ladies,

    I know that a lot of us are looking to lose weight. I read some threads a few months ago to see what works and what doesn't. After much research on the boards here, I decided to try CLA (Tonalin). I have been using it for two months and have lost 10 pounds. My big problem was fat in my belly area. The CLA has taken care of this. My pants and shorts are now falling off. I need to go shopping for smaller clothes soon! I have about 10 more pounds to lose. I am a size 6 but my goal is a size 4.

    I combine the CLA with a good diet and moderate exercise. It really is not that hard to follow.

    My Diet

    Breakfast- Kashi Go Lean with Berries and Rice Milk (I have dairy issues.)

    Snack- Apple with Peanut Butter or small handful of Trail Mix

    Lunch- Healthy Choice Naturals Entree (These are really yummy!)

    Snack- Banana with Peanut Butter or small handful of Trail Mix

    Dinner- Salad with Grilled Chicken, Grilled Chicken with Pasta, Grilled Chicken with Steamed Veggies, or Fish with Steamed Veggies

    Additional Things

    I only drink water and green tea. Drink 3 liters of water and 2 cups of tea.

    I exercise 5 times a week for 45 minutes each time. I power walk or dance.

    I take 4 capsules of the Trader Joe's Brand of CLA (1000 MG in each pill).

    I take 4 capsules of the Trader Joe's Milk Thistle.

    I take 4 capsules of Irwin's Naturals Caffeine Free Engery.

    I allow myself to "cheat" on the weekends. I can only indulge in my guilty pleasures like dessert, burgers, fries, pizza, potato chips, tortilla chips, etc. on the weekends. This helps keep me sane and on my diet. It's not like I eat a whole cake or anything. It's having a small cupcake, or a cookie, or a small order of McDonalds fries, or a small slice of pizza, etc. Keep the portions small and you'll be okay.

    I just bought a bottle and started this today. I've been meaning to for about 3 years! haha Decided now was the time because I have been really upping my weight training for the last few weeks. Have already noticed I have this sorta plasticy bad taste in my mouth after taking them. Does this go away? Cause ICK, it's horrible. Although I guess it will help with weight loss, I certainly don't have an appetite with this terrible taste. lol

    You know, I've been on tonalin for about 8 months, and I looked at the scale and noticed I have GAINED 10 pounds. It's weird because my clothes still fit me and I don't think I look like I've gained that much weight.

    I'm wondering if it could actually be muscle I've gained. I know Tonalin is supposed to help with that. And I know I'm a lot stronger than I used to be--I can do inversions and climb the pole, which I couldn't come close to doing before.

    Hi Gia2608,

    I absolutely know what you mean!

    Before the CLA (Tonalin) I was working out for 90 minutes each day and the belly fat would not go away. I was so frustrated. I even considered trying lipo but my husband wouldn't let me go under the knife. So I did a ton of research and it seems that CLA really helps eliminate that stubborn belly fat alot of us are trying to get rid of.

    I also drink only water and green tea. Some of the belly weight that we carry around is actually bloating from soda, juice, dairy, too much salt, etc. If you avoid these or cut them out of your diet completely you'll notice a difference in your belly area.

    Hi Princessjas,

    What brand of pills are you taking? In April I started with the Natrol Brand. These pills were gigantic horse pills and left a funny taste in my mouth.

    After I finished the bottle. I switched to the Trader Joe's Brand. These pills are great. The are smaller in size. They are shaped like regular pills and not horse pills. They go down much easier. I can actually put all 4 pills in my mouth, gulp down some water, and be okay.

    I'm not sure where you live but if you have a Trader Joe's near you I would buy these pills instead. There are cheaper too! They sell a bottle of 90 soft gel capsules for $14.99! My bottle of the Natrol CLA was $21.99 for only 60 Pills! These days every dollar counts!

    They are Nature's Way, and they are HUGE and only 500mg each. I can barely swallow one at a time. We don't have a Trader Joe's around here.

    Does anyone know any other brands that don't have a horrible aftertaste?

    Is Tonalin ok to take if you've just had a B.A. I guess I'm just concerned with any changes in fat distribution that may affect breast shape since they're still settling. Know what I mean?

    The girls I've known that took it seemed to agree that it got rid of their cellulite but that some of it came back when they stopped taking CLA. The consensus seemed to be that it didn't come back any worse than it was before. I guess if you are used to being incredibly smooth and tight it can seem shocking to see a few bumps suddenly reappear.

    I dont't know about the cellulite. I don't have any. But I have noticed that my breasts are plumper and firmer. I have natural 34 Ds. They stick out like headlights now. I don't need to wear a bra to get that kind of lift anymore.

    My husband is a breast man and has always loved my girls. Now he can't get enough! We went from doing it once or twice a week to now three or four times a week! CLA (Tonalin) has improved my sex life BIG TIME!!!

    I'm using Trader Joe's Brand of CLA. A bottle has 90 soft gel capsules (1000 MG).

    It's only $14.99 for the bottle! The pills are regular size not big horse pills. They are easy to swallow and don't have a funny aftertaste.

    I take 4 capsules each day.

    Oh I love Trade Joes! Thanks for the advice but all I drink is water anyway I gave up soda a while back and I do have juice every once in a while but don't keep it in the house. I also order those 3x slim down or whatever pills the girls were talking about but they still haven't arrived. I think it's Ok to tkake them together right?

    Has anyone had any issues with bloating when they first start CLA? I noticed within a few days that my pants were looser, but my face and even arms, are looking a bit....flabby, puffy, etc.

    I snapped a couple of photos to make sure this wasn't in my head and compared them to a few from a couple of weeks ago (I've lost weight since then), but nope, I was correct. I'm looking WAY puffy and have mega dark circles under my eyes.

    Anyone?

    OMG! me too! i'm also wondering if this happened to anyone else and if it is just a temporary thing or bad side effect? i want to stop taking them, but i bought a huge supply & don't want to quit IF the bloating eventually subsides...

    i'm on week 3, workout 2 hrs daily, clean diet, tons-o-water, but feel like a puffer fish and it's really messing with me

    Help!

    Esp. after reading all the positive reviews of the stuff, I began to think maybe it was just me... I'm so over people insinuating i'm letting myself go WHEN i'm busting my chops in the gym & have been SO strict with my diet... I just wanna rip their heads off!

    But I won't, because that wouldn't be ladylike.

    Tonalin didn't work for me. I took it for about three months, six pills a day. Just my experience.

    Minalynx and princess, try adding milk thistle and/or dandelion to your supplement regimen and see if that helps at all. It will help to process things through your liver (milk thistle) and lose water weight (dandelion). I hope that can help you; keep us posted.

    Hey Ladies,

    If any of you are suffering from puffiness, then take Milk Thistle. Read my very first post in this thread. I mentioned that I am taking more than just the CLA. You need to do more than just take CLA.

    The Milk Thistle brand I take is from Trader Joe's. This brand is a blend of milk thistle, dandelion, and tumeric. These are all herbs that detox your body. While the CLA is increasing your muscle mass, it is also helping your body burn fat.

    Fat is full of toxins. This process of fat burning in your body is going to introduce a lot of toxins into your system. You need to take supplements that are going to get rid of these harmful toxins. Be sure to drink close to a gallon of water a day. I drink 3 liters of water a day. You must drink plain water to help your body get rid of the toxins that occur from the fat burning process.

    PM me if you have any questions.

    ^^Thanks, I'll be picking some up today and giving this a shot. I've got to do something about the bloating, I can't even get my rings on my fingers are so puffy.

    My waist and lower body have slimmed down, and I have lost a few pounds, so it isn't that I'm just getting fat. It's so damned annoying, I've been on a detox type diet for 3 weeks now (weekends I slack off a bit), am putting in 3hrs one day 1.5 the next at the gym, bounce on my trampoline a few hours a week and still look puffy. My cheeks look so puffy that my eyes look sunken!! Hopefully this will help some and soon I will be all svelte and sexy! I can't wait!!

    Hey gals! keep up the weight loss, you're all doing wonderful. Guy here, Sorry I'm asking but what does "CLA" mean? I went to a CVS a few days ago, asked the guy behind the counter(@ the pharmacy) and he said he'd never heard of it. When I said "I think it's a tonalin", he said"what kinds? there are quite a few, then proceeded to take me to the shelf where there were (literally) tons of them. What does "CLA" mean/stand for?

    I'm not sure what brand i should get?

    Softgels(though bigger than normal pills) are MUCH easier for you to swallow, and digest, as they don't sit in your stomachs for a while before dissolving(something to think about). That was in a Mens Health mag I read some months back. They also said it's easier on your digestive sytem(softgels as opposed to regular capsules).

    Anyways, I'm sure Walmart, or CVS have an equally effective brand right?(and might be even less than TJ's), anyone have any suggestions as to what brand names?

    Also, one last thing to ponder: Places like CVS, always do a "2 for 1" deal, so you might be able to score 2 bottles of this stuff, for the price of just one(saving you even more cash).

    I'd like to eventually be: "Not So BIG Josh" if you know what I mean?
