dragonballz, unfortunately it doesnt work for everyone for whatever reason, sorry

aznbaybee4u, you need 5 of the GNC cla. and 500-1000mg of the borage oil.

I started taking the combo two weeks ago and I feel like a new person. I have lost inches and have an amazing increase in energy. I will never stop taking the combo.

kycowgirl · 10-31-2009, 09:22 AM

I'm glad it's working so well for you fire

. The info on the new liquid cla says CLA works best when “cycled”, by using it for 3-4 weeks on and coming off for 2 weeks, before going on again. So if it slows down, you may want to try that

fire27503 · 10-31-2009, 01:06 PM

Thanks Trisha for the info . I need all the help I can get. Thanks

Aerobics simply do not cut for for retaining muscle however, quite the opposite).

You "can" add a few other supplements to kick-start your fat loss, but that would mean a more complicated supplementation regime. It's up to you really.

What other supplements do you suggest be added for faster fat loss?

SLK · 04-29-2010, 05:46 AM

So. People should be looking to take something like 3000-4000mg of CLA and 100mg of GLA?

I have a question..... I lost my weight ( or the most part) I was 160 for years, and 184 when I had my son in 2006. I lost weight after giving birth and am now 123 - 125... but i cant get rid of my muffin top or stomache... will taking the CLA work to help this? i am 5"7 . 123 lbs, and my core is impossible to get firm... please help. I take a multi vitamin, fish oil, b-12, vit. E and Nightly primrose right now - 5 pills a day... Thanks - and PS I am new on this board , but you people are great and very inspiring. Thank you.

mikkimouse · 02-25-2011, 08:01 AM

HI GUYS!!!!! I am so sorry for not poping in often, I have been so busy! How have you all been? I miss you guys, I am still maintaining my weight at 155, after losing 100 lbs in 2007 with your help, and the CLA/GLA!!! I am now taking Flax, Borage, and Fish, it seams to be doing the trick, I have been taking that supliment for a year now, and still eating low carb, I keep my carbs under 15 a day, and still drinking a gallon and a half of water. I would have thought i was water logged but i guess not, I will post a new picture this weekend. :blush:

Next weekend is the Mrs. Colorado pageant, I am representing the town that i live in, I am Mrs. Montrose 2011. Im getting excited...I could not have reached this goal with out the support from you guys!!

I will check back with ya'all tonight! Have a wonderful day!

:h ugs:

Susannaj4 · 11-09-2011, 08:58 AM

take CLA until I read it here. I mean I tried it before, but not while doing atkins. Soooo, I am starting with it today. I keep reading diff numbers. Is 4000 the dosage for the day?

loveispeakincode · 03-05-2012, 09:32 AM

hi i know this is an old post but maybe yall can help...
i took cla/gla combo last summer & loved it..like some have said it didnt make the pounds fall off, but i felt less "puffy" & leaner. but then i ran out & got broke & never got around to getting another bottle..but today i'm thinking about picking up some more when i go to walgreens to get my b12...

my ? is...i've read that taking it on & off makes it not work as well? & that once you get off of it it wont work as well? has anyone experienced this? i want to take it again in hopes to debloat a bit & i loved the energy it gave me..but if it is completely useless the 2nd time around then i'll just keep my 15 bucks...

any thoughts would be great..sorry if this ? is answered already..i honestly didnt go back & read all the responses...sorry!

Idreamofweightloss · 03-10-2012, 07:23 PM

Two questions.one what is glass and cla? Two does this combo NOT help with weight loss only losing inches?

I thought i had read the opposite, that it it works better when cycled on and off.
Anyone?

loveispeakincode · 03-13-2012, 11:34 AM

The more looked into it after I posted this I found out that in most cases cycling is best...
Another ? Do you take the cla and borage oil together or can I take them st 2 different times? Sorry..know that's kinda silly.

Horsetrainer110 · 03-25-2012, 07:27 PM

Well I've been reading these CLA/GLa threads for a couple of hours now, and I'm going to place an order at Netrition tonight. I am doing Atkins low carb (just started 3 weeks ago) and I am hoping that these won't interfere with that!

Lux · 10-17-2012, 01:33 PM

I know this is an old thread but I found the info on it really interesting and just started the CLA/GLA combo - will update on progress!

You're not alone Lux, I don't post much anymore but (in addition to a bunch of other vitamins, lol) I have been taking it off and on for years when I low carb

Would love to know how it works for you!

chrisevan · 02-14-2013, 11:12 AM

Is Saftin a liquid CLA or is it just an LA? I read online that it isn't a cla. Is that right? It also has 5 carbs per TB. I'd rather not have the carbs.

scintillady · 06-03-2013, 03:31 PM

I've been taking CLA for a couple of weeks and my belly fat has decreased a lot.
