CLA is not a fat burner, though some advertisements would allude to that. It is much more subtle than that, first off it is a healthy fat, and CLA actually works best by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fat from our diet so that it can be absorbed and stored in the body. By suppressing this enzyme, CLA may help reduce the amount of fat deposited and stored throughout the body.

You won't see much from it, as mentioned it is a much more subtle effects than your typical fat burner as you are probably used to. It is a supplement that has benefits over time. I believe it is best utilized on a bulk, for the reason I have noted in my above post.
