NatureWise Elite CLA 1300 Maximum Potency, 95% CLA Safflower Oil Workout Supplement, Support Muscle Function & Fitness goals (1 Month Supply - 90 Count)

Again most recently I was reading an article of Ms. Ann Louise Gittleman's (Highly regarded 'Health' author/Nutritionist of many books; most recently-"Radical Metabolism") on her recommendations for quick summer slimming down. She advised her readers to consider her 1000 mg. CLA as a means to drop extra pounds while preserving muscle mass. Since I was already on Naturewise's Raspberry Ketones I decided to 'step up my game' and add on Ms. Gittleman's recommendation of CLA. I have been on both for approximately 3-4 weeks and have seen excellent results! So far I have lost 9 lbs. and only have a few more to go! In addition to taking these 2 amazing products of Raspberry ketones (2 in the am 1 hour before meals) and Elite Cla 1300 (2-3 with each meal), I also begin my morning with drinking 16 ozs. of lemon water with apple cider vinegar and ginger! I then take 2 Raspberry Ketones, Tyrosine 500 mg., Vitamin B Complex, and occ. L-Glutamine. I then walk 3-4 miles. After this I usually eat 2 boiled eggs and 1 sliced avocado. My first meal comes after a 12 hour fasting and i have now trained myself for over a year now and I am not that hungry until the last 30 minutes! I also do weight bearing exercises and yoga and muscle and strength training classes twice per week. I also eat largely a Organic, Whole Foods Plant Based Diet (Even more convinced after graduating from the renowned "T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition at Cornell" in March, 2019) and am a Pescatarian (Wild Caught Salmon only) and part Vegan. I am also gluten-free, soy-free, sugar-free and dairy-free! That is a lot of "FREE's" but guarantee you, you will feel better and do better especially if you have food sensitivities or concerns as I do! These 2 products have supported my commitment to my weight loss goals along with losing a couple of inches! These 2 products are the "icing on the cake". NOT The Cake. Everything else that you "Do" and "Be" are the Cake. The Naturewise company is sending me 1 more product of each as I reached out to them and they were very prompt! Smart Marketing. Smart Products. Happy Customers. A "Win-Win" for all! Give these 2 products a chance along with a very healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle and you may just be as pleased as I am.

I think it's actually to soon to comment but...this CLA is surprising me. I've done everything I know to impact my weight and for months, it hasn't budge. I've been intermittent fasting, counting calories, exercising at least 3-4 times a week. But my weight remained the same. Since taking these capsules for about 3 weeks now, I've dropped 3 lbs. Not a lot but averaging a lb per week. Like I said, it could be to early for a review but, if it is working for me,then I should continue to see progress. I will share another review if I continue to see that progress.

I will be updating this review as time goes on to a complete product review. Some Basic information about me to help give you a scenario. Im 5'9", currently 157lbs, 31 years old. Most of my "fat" is love handles, and a little belly pooch from my metabolism slowing on top of my having two children. Will try and upload images soon. My birth control is hormone loaded, so i have that going against me as well. Other than that, i have no ailments to prevent weight loss. I do not exercise like i should. i sit at a desk for work, with the walking around the office for various things. Once at home i have two children (10 & 4) that provide the opportunity to just not sit on the couch once im home, activities vary like normal people. not even gonna to lie.. I need to drink more water, and cut out the snack at work. i mostly drink sweet tea, very few sodas. i think i will be starting out with one capsule per meal for the first week to make sure there are no adverse side effects. and then move to two capsules per meal depending on if there is no change in weight. we will see! 02/21/18 Day 1: 157lbs. One capsule each meal. 03/05/18 Day 13: I started taking two pills with each meal after the first week. i havent weighed myself as of yet. ("if you wait for the water to boil, it will never happen"). however do "think" i have lost a tiny bit - from what im seeing in the mirror - nothing proven. I will note that i have forgotten to take them, with 2 big meals. i also have not changed anything else in my daily routine. so far there are no side effects, i have noticed that i dont feel so "bloaty". Also as most people do, i burp, when doing so, you can taste the pills (like how the bottle smells). that is the only thing that is "bad" to me so far. More to come!

I almost finished the entire bottle!! I do minimal exercise and try a low carb diet and cut sugar as often as I can but I am not religious about anything. My only good diet habit is that I don’t eat past 6-8 pm. I have had a total thyroidectomy and I am hypothyroid which I am trying to correct with prescription cytomel as well so losing weight is really difficult. I also just had a baby and gained about 40-50 lbs. I started out taking one pill a day and then two then three. It makes you go to the bathroom regularly which is a wonderful, wonderful thing! Its one of the best things your body can do especially if you’re trying to lose weight. I learned to just take the pill after work in the beginning lol. The first day I felt it right away, my entire body got warm so I knew something was happening. My advise is to definitely take after a meal bc it physically hurts your stomach if you don’t. I have no idea how this pill works but it does! I’m 5’4 and went from size 16 to size 14 and I’m starting to fit into a size 12. I slowed down a lot taking the pill b/c I hate taking a lot of pills but I’ll pop like two after a meal now and then when I remember mainly after breakfast and dinner. I am giving this pill a break for now so I don’t burn out and switching over to Garnica Cambodia for the next bottle! Considering that I probably have one of the worse metabolisms in the world without a thyroid and still lost weight, this stuff is potentially a holy grail for those with a normal metabolism. I highly recommend.

I have been using this along with their Green Coffee Bean Extract 800 and Garcinia Cambogia during around 50% of my meals (other 50% is because I forget) and without changing anything I have noticed around a 5lbs drop in weight over the last three weeks. My weight goes up and down more than the stock market since I drink a lot of water each day but on average I think I see around 5lbs in drop. Since I'm using all three it's hard to tell which one is the most effective but I think the Garcinia Cambogia is great since it makes your stomach feel full sooner so less intake and so something like CLA 1250 to induce more burn is a good thing to throw on top. For those of you who have a hard time taking pills like me this particular one is quite large... I've only seen cows take larger pills :) With enough liquid it'll slide down but don't fool yourself into thinking this is a pill you can take dry because it'll probably get stuck. Once I finally get around to working out again I hope to see more improvements and will update this review accordingly. NatureWise customer service is great, I have already taken them up on the free bottle they offer. They had high demand for the free offer so I would time it to be between 2-3 weeks before you'll need it. The contact info about their free offer is written on a little green slip inside the box.
