Its all theories - when in fact no studies suggest that it helps with reducing body fat percentage, research does not support this statement.
the only thing it might be doing is decreasing risk for cancer and cardiovascular system.

the recommended dose is closer to 6 grams that's what most of us have always used. I literally know dozens of people that have taken it or are still taking it that have lost measurable amounts of body fat. there is also tons of medical study that shows it can be effective as there is study that shows it is not. just like with creatine monohydrate most likely there are responders and non-responders to CLA.
since CLA is a fatty acid make sure to consume it with a meal as it has the potential to be oxidized for energy if taken on an empty stomach. for most it takes several months before the effects are seen

Usually the recommended dosage is 4 grams a day.
There have been studies conducted using 2 groups of OBESE people. Each group kept their normal diet and activity and the treatment group (group given CLA) lost significantly more weight that the control.
However, studies in supplementation of CLA for wieght loss in "normal" weight people have not been conclusive. Studies suggest it is more effective in those severely overweight.
CLA does offer many health benefits other than weight loss.
