Is it worth it to take CLA for fat loss? Some people swear by it and others say that, while it does technically work, it doesn't work well enough to notice a difference in body fat %. I'm currently taking it right now along with fish oil, a multi, and hydroxycut hardcore. So what's the verdict - worth it or not?

It has been shown to be anti-catabolic while cutting I believe. The doses however make it hard to afford.
CLA is one of those "hit or miss" supplements that I don't think is understood fully and thus isn't being utilized properly. There are some benefits to taking it, but there a different isomers contained in it and conflicting data about what it does, and a lot of people who feel ripped off having used it to no results.
I believe it was Dino who had a really good post on it a few weeks back. You may want to try and dig that up if you are interested in knowing more about it.Don't Support Companies that are suing me!!

Aries,
CLA really won't benefit you, especially while cutting. It was marketed wrong and hastily based off the research of Dr. Pariza here at the University of Wisconsin. Since it was mildy effective in morbidly obese people automatically some greedy folks thought they should market it and thus we have all this hype based on nill.
