I thought I would share this information with people. I added this supplement to my diet. I do not take as many as you are suppose to. Studies show that 3400mg is the optimal dose of CLA, but I only take 1 capsule a day A) They are a little pricey I have a crappy memory and never remember to take it more than that!

CLA is suppose to help the body burn fat. I was already losing when I started taking it, so I am not sure if it has made a difference or not. But I have noticed that I have lost a few more pounds and inches, so it can't be hurting (I am 20 months post op at below goal).

I also read that Tonalin CLA is one of the best and purest, so check that your supplement has the Tonalin symbol on the bottle.

Of course it is up to you if you want to try it and I can't guarantee anything, so don't come back on here and hunt me down in the future! The link below is the one that I use. There are many brands, and the amount of CLA varies (make sure to read the label, it will say 1000mg but only has 840mg of CLA or 700mg of CLA...every brand is different). Oh, and the pill is huge and cause an upset tummy...I would not suggest for early post-op sleevers.
