<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi listmembers, When I first went GF, I was a little overweight and lost weight (almost 15 pounds) after a few months on the GF diet. Now, after more than 2 years GF, I gained back and have trouble to lose it again. I am a woman of 43 and it is not as easy to lose weight at this moment. All my life I had a Yo-Yo weight, being anything between very thin 105 pound and overweight 165 pound, for 5'5". But until 5 years ago, I never went over 145 pounds. The extra 20 pounds of the last 5 years is bothering me a lot. I must add, I exercise and I am in good shape, I walk at least an hour everyday, I swim regularly, I do canoe, etc. I had a test done by a cardiologist to evaluate my physical condition and the result was that I am in excellent condition. My doctor (who is both MD and naturopath) gave me CLA 750 (Tonalin) Jarrow formula to take 3 times a day with meal. On the label, it says that it assists glucose metabolism and body fat reduction and enhancement of lean body mass (muscle) retention. I am trying it since yesterday, but I would like to hear from you, if you tried the product or heard of it. I will summarize. Johanne Montreal QC Canada
