I read on the internet that there have been some scientific studies done and backed up by the American Diabetes Association that Conjugated Linoleic Acid in a 3.4 gram daily dosage is beneficial to helping lipid levels in obese and diabetes patients. More info I gathered also indicated that this nutritional supplement will assist patients from putting on abdominal fat in conjunction of course with good nutrition and exercise. Another benefit - it keeps ones small fat cells from turning into BIG ones. Awesome if it is all valid information.

Now, after having been on this conjugated linoleic acid for 5 days, I can honestly tell you that I no longer have cravings for chocolate, sweets, breads, carbs (nor Proteins for that matter). I take 2000 mg in the a.m. and it curbs my appetite - then I take 2 around 7 or 8 pm at night which is my incredible craving time of the day (imagine a 300 lb tiger with nashing teeth wanting to eat anything and everything - hungry or not-the old "head hunger" demon). To my delight and surprise, I no longer crave bad things after supper-don't even feel the need to "have something sweet and baaaaad" (other than my husband). My daughter tried it today and she had the same result - now understand that my daughter is no pushover and was quite skeptical to say the least. Is there anyone out there who knows if this is a real result of taking this supplement? Any info and feedback would be appreciated and may even shed some light on the matter.

Not yet banded, but will be on Feb 7 2007.

So how is the CLA going? It's been a while since the lastest updates. I started on it this morning so we'll see. I read the bottle though and it said 1 capsule (1000mg) 3 times a day with meals... anyone else done this and seen results or is everyone else taking 5000-6000 a day?

I'm taking 3-4 1300mg capsules a day of CLA. I started taking the stuff 2 weeks ago and I'm now on my pre-op diet (started monday). I can't definitively say that the CLA is causing me to loose weight because of the diet. I can report that during our cruise last week I did not gain weight and that this week it seems to suppress the acute hunger somewhat. I still get hungry but I don't find myself slipping into "Predator" mode where I am ready to kill something and eat it raw on the spot.:biggrin1:

It may be purely a placebo effect, but hey!...if it works I'm going with it!

There are two major forms of CLA on the market Tonalin (Canadian I believe) and Clarinol (European). I can't tell the difference between the two although the Clarinol claims to be slightly higher in CLA concentration.

Just got back from being "banded". Whew! what a trip. Glad to be home. Catching up on the posts and glad to see that CLA is working for most people who have tried it. I have now lost 15 lbs. between CLA and Optifast - having started with the CLA. More news later, need a nap.:kiss

just wondering how everyone that is using cla is going side effects and so, i'm not having any luck getting it here do you think it would be safe to order it on line from there?

I don't know about down under but here in the states you can get it both over the counter and online. The important thing is make sure it is safflower derived "Tonalin" or "Clarinol". I believe "Tonalin" is the original process for making CLA from safflower oil and the most trusted. I use 1285 mg "Clarinol" (got from a drug/health store) and 1300 mg "Tonalin" (online) products. I'll check the brand names for you.

stopped taking it! I don't know but i think they made me dizzy - no rhyme or reason but i got dizzy twice and once i stopped i was ok - sure don't want to discourage anyone but for me, just decided to stop taking them.
