Tonalin CLA caplets seem to be getting some positive reviews these days from an assorted bunch of reputable sources. It’s enough to get me interested enough to give them a go. I struggle relentlessly with a stubborn 10 or 15 pounds and I need some sort of extra boost to get me on the right track. In the event that CLA doesn’t work for me then I have lost nothing because there are no side effects and the cost of a one or two month supply is fairly minimal.
I am suitably impressed with what I have read so far on CLA. The two most compelling research reports have come from two well known universities in North America. One university is American and is located in the heartland of Wisconsin. The other university is the University of Guelph and it is located in Ontario. Both of these professionally designed, managed and controlled studies claim that Tonalin CLA can really help overweight people lose weight and maintain their weight loss regimes after they stop dieting.
The Canadian scientific study was conducted first. It was an eight week study and used 60 individual over weight adult people as subjects in the study. Thirty people took a CLA pill everyday while the other thirty people took a placebo pill. The study was conducted in November and December and was particularly interested in monitoring the weight gain or loss if any over the Christmas holidays. The result was astounding. The CLA group lost weight in the weeks leading up to the holidays and didn’t gain any weight over the holidays. The placebo group gained a bit of weight leading up to the holidays and then gained weight even more rapidly over the holidays.
Impressed by what they heard out of Canada, a group of researchers from the University of Wisconsin tried to repeat the Canadian results and were entirely successful. The American study used forty overweight adults and they studied them for six months including the 8 weeks used in the Canadian study. The participants in the American study also claimed to have lost fat from their belly region when they took daily a CLA pill. The cardiovascular experts were delighted with this extra result as belly fat can lead to heart disease which is a deadly threat to their patients.
Both the Canadian and American studies made sure that that all of the participating subjects consumed approximately the same amount of calories per day. Furthermore, all of the subjects had the same amount of daily exercise. By controlling for diet and exercise, the research teams could make certain that it was the CLA pill that was the catalyst for any changes.
I tend to look at the authors of research publications when deciding if the research is credible. In this case professionals at two respectable North American Universities conducted the studies. This means a lot to me. I am going to start taking Tonalin CLA and continue with my regular diet and exercise.
