How to Use Tonalin to Control Weight

Tonalin is a brand of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid our bodies supposedly need. The only way we can get CLA is through eating meat and dairy products, but we're evidently not getting enough since cattle aren't being pasture grazed anymore. Some people use the CLA supplement Tonalin to control weight and have reported reduced body fat, increased muscle and an ability to prevent fat regain.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
Know that getting in your recommended daily dose of CLA may be impossible since you'd have to eat more than 4 gallons of ice cream, seven pounds of beef, or almost 4 gallons of whole milk every day. With supplements, one 1000 mg capsule three times a day with food will give you what you need in the CLA department.
Step2
Understand how CLA works. It's derived from natural safflower oil and inhibits the enzyme that breaks down fat from what we eat. Once fat is broken down, it is stored in our body, so by suppressing this enzyme, CLA helps reduce the amount of fat that gets broken down and stored.
Step3
Watch what you eat while taking Tonalin to control weight. Even though the supplement hasn't been studied in conjunction with any particular diet program, its results have reportedly been enhanced with a balanced diet and regular exercise program.
Step4
Exercise your choices if you wish to avoid gelatin capsules, Tonalin CLA is also available in liquid form and doesn't contain any natural or artificial stimulants, like ephedra.

Tips & Warnings

  • Vegetarian alert: Although the contents in the capsules are gelatin-free and CLA is derived from safflower oil, most soft gels are made with bovine gelatin, obtained from collagen from cattle, primarily hides and bones.
  • This company conducts toxicological studies on animals.
  • Check with your doctor before ingesting any supplement advertised for losing or controlling weight.
