    In my experience, some people respond extremely well to CLA, and some do not. I would say give it try and see how it works for you. Just make sure you get a CLA with the correct total CLA% and the correct isomers. There are a lot of junk CLA supplements out there. Depending on your size, try 6-12 grams per day spread over 3 doses.

    Agreed, ALA can be very effective as well if taken properly.

    r-ala is very helpful should be dosed in a 1g of carbs to 4mg of r-ala


    also should throw in biotin when taking r-ala in a 1mg r-ala to 3mcg of biotin

    They are pretty cheap.... you can buy a box for a couple bucks that has like 30 bags in it. I get it at walmart. Hold up I'll go downstairs and see how many bags are really in there. I knwo there are a lot. I have like 5-6 cups of green tea a day.

    4 bowls of cereal..... 2 bowls w/ Total Protein Cereal & 2 bowls of hunny nut cherios

    2 Bowls of cookies n cream ice cream

    1 Glass of milk w/ a PB & J Sandwhich

    2 Cinamon Rolls

    And then I had a piece of cake my mom had baked lol. Good stuff.... then I was clean the rest of the day after all that went down the hatch. I didn't feel too bad today either, I looked all vascular when I woke up. I was suprised I wasn't all bloated. Cardio was great this morning, I did 60 minutes on the Mill Today is my off day, I wish I was lifting though. I love lifting after a carb up day.

    Yeah I know about the gas too. I guess it's a good sign that my body is used to healthy foods or something (is that what it is?), but as soon as I eat junk my body tells me it doesn't like it
