~*~" Waist'ing Away" with CLA/GLA... March 2008 ~*~

kycowgirl · 03-01-2008, 02:49 PM

Welcome to the 2008 Edition of CLA/GLA

Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable healthcare provider.

What is CLA/GLA?

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)—to promote lean muscle while burning fat.

Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA)—for its many beneficial effects in fighting muscle inflammation and supporting the immune system. From a fat loss perspective, GLA is vital in supporting the production of two strong fat burning hormones…growth hormone and the body’s primary calorie burning hormone, thyroid hormone. GLA should be taken with food

Most effective daily dose...
CLA 3400 mg (1/2 Tbsp liquid once a day, or 5 Tonalin or Spring Valley capsules)
GLA 500-1000 mg (2-4 Borage Oil caps a day)

How does CLA work?
A: CLA prevents fat from being deposited into the cells by speeding up the body's fat metabolism. CLA also helps the body metabolize existing fat deposits. This fat then returns to the blood stream where it is used as energy by muscle cells and the liver. CLA activates genes that trigger fat cell death, shrinks fat cells, speeds up metabolism.

CLA Turns on Fat Breakdown Genes
CLA Boosts Endurance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How does GLA work?
A: Numerous research studies have examined the role of GLA for improving health, specifically in the area of weight loss. GLA from borage oil causes less body fat to accumulate. Borage oil owes its healing power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid. (While borage oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose oil, ounce for ounce, borage oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.)

Guidelines for Use
Taking borage oil with food may boost GLA absorption and minimize unpleasant side effects.
If you take an anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication, check with your doctor before trying borage oil. The are no other known drug or nutrient interactions associated with borage oil.

Possible Side Effects ...
Borage oil may cause loose stools and minor stomach problems.

Other benefits of Borage Oil...
Reduce the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis
Clear up acne and rosacea
Alleviate inflammation associated with lupus
Prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) due to diabetes
Combat damage from multiple sclerosis
Ease cough and soothe throat disorders
Treat Alzheimer's-related memory deficiencies
Reduce stress and high blood pressure
Nourish nails, scalp, and hair
Counter impotence and female infertility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CLA Q&A

Is CLA Safe to Take With My Thyroid Medications?
There's no evidence that CLA, a food supplement, interacts with thyroid medications, or poses any special dangers to thyroid patients. But you should always discuss any supplements you intend to take with your own physician or practitioner before starting.

Is CLA Only for People with Thyroid Problems?
Absolutely not. The studies have shown that it's effective in general for reducing/converting fat. You don't have to have a thyroid problem -- you just have to be overweight -- to benefit from CLA.

How Much Should I Take?
The study found that 3.4 grams of CLA was needed in order to get the benefits. That's 3,400 mg. Since the various formulas contain a percentage of other oils as ingredients, it's wise to probably calculate how much each pill is delivering to make sure you're getting the full 3.4 grams a day. For example, if your capsule contains 75% CLA, and it's 1000 mg, then you're getting 750 mg of CLA, and would need 5 per day to get to the 3.4 grams level.

How Should I Take It?
The various recommendations differ here. Some recommendations suggest to take it before eating. Others suggest to take it with meals. Take it preferably with lowfat or nonfat milk for maximum protein absorption. Personally, I'm taking it right before I eat with some Calorie Countdown milk.

Does CLA Have Any Side Effects?
Some people report feeling slightly green or nauseous after taking their CLA, or isolated cases of gastrointestinal upset or loose stools. These side effects typically are reduced when the product is taken with protein (i.e.,with milk), and usually decrease after about 2 weeks taking the supplement.

Usually, in the first three weeks, the abdominal fat "pooch" starts shrinking. Other "fattier" areas (such as cheeks, upper arms, rear end) seemed to be slowly reducing as well. You may notice that your appetite is somewhat reduced. You may feel a bit green after taking the CLA the first couple days, but if you take it with milk, or protein it should eliminate that problem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of us prefer the liquid CLA from Netrition. One bottle which is about $23.00 lasts a full month. You just take 1/2 Tbsp a day to get your full dose. We also prefer to get our Borage Oil from Netrition. It has a higher GLA content, so less pills to take, and more pills per bottle than other brands. So by getting your combo from Netrition, its alot cheaper than taking all the caps from other stores.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the first of each month you can post progress pics with your cla/gla results. You will not be pressured to post them if your not comfortable doing so. Some of us feel we stay more accountable if we do, and it helps that others can see good changes in the update pics that we cannot see ourselves. If you choose not to post them, thats ok, but please take them anyway for yourself to compare updates with. Thats where you will see the changes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're taking CLA, don't take your Omega-3s (fish or flax) at the same time. They will compete against each other for absorption. Leave at least a 3 hour window when taking both.

michelemomof2 · 03-01-2008, 03:10 PM

Kathy - I'm sorry to hear about your MRI. I hope it is nothing too serious. I guess the not knowing is the worse. I hope the pain meds help so you can go to Mexico.

Lucki - We will both make it to onederland, girlfriend.

Justachic · 03-01-2008, 03:23 PM

Thanks you guys for the compliments on my "Big Momma" pregro pics.

They are really scary to me. How does any woman get thru that stage without going mental?

Lucki....It's kind of funny but there really are women out there who put ads on their bellies and get paid for it! Sorry your ex was so insensitive.

Met up with a friend I haven't seen in 20+ years over lunch! It was such a great time.

Has anyone checked the man cave for Phil???

Dave....are you still in trouble with the wife?

lildragonfly · 03-01-2008, 03:49 PM

jillywilly · 03-01-2008, 05:22 PM

Hi everyone,
I am still here! I'm not eating good, and have gained back about 5 lbs or so. I am going to get back on low carb on Monday. I think my cholesterol will straighten itself out if just behave and stay on track.
I have been very sick. I still have sinus and cough. Finally went in and got meds yesterday so I am starting to get better. I kept putting it off as we won't have insurance until next month. I am taking antibiotics and flonase which seems to be helping already. I have tons of posts to read up on!! I have to run for now, I just wanted to take a minute and say hi! See you all soon!

tom_912 · 03-01-2008, 05:59 PM

Hi friends drop into chat if you have chance tonight

JMS1 · 03-01-2008, 06:17 PM

Okeedokee now. Went and got the CLA from Walgreens buy 1 get 1 free 1000 mg and could not find the borage oil so I got the primrose until I get the combo I ordered from netrition. The ? is how many of the CLA 4 or 5 to get the 4.3 and how many of the primrose to get the same effect as the borage. I'm too excited and just can't wait. You all give it such a big one that I just have to get started.
Juanita

lildragonfly · 03-01-2008, 06:20 PM

Well the CLA is 3400mg so would be 4 pills. How much gla is in the primrose?

Justachic · 03-01-2008, 06:21 PM

JMS1 · 03-01-2008, 06:38 PM

Marsha, the primrose has 90 mg. Can I take them all tonight or do I have to wait until tomorrow to start?
Juanita

lildragonfly · 03-01-2008, 06:44 PM

The gla you will have to take 6 at least of those to make up 500 mg. You can take them tonight if you want. You can take gla and cla together but dont take a fish oil at same time.

You can take them tonight if you want. You can take gla and cla together but dont take a fish oil at same time.
