Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Head for the seafood counter or stock up on fish oil capsules if you want to lose weight. One key strategy that will stop your waistline from spreading and help you to lose existing body fat is to favor certain dietary fats: namely, the long-chain “marine” omega-3 fatty acids abundant only in fatty cold-water fish and high-quality supplemental fish oil.
Marine-source omega-3s cause the body to burn calories for immediate energy needs, before they are turned into hard-to-lose, inflammation-inducing abdominal fat. This metabolic magic trick means that we will end up carrying less weight. No one ever got fat from eating fish—as long as it’s not batter-dipped and fried in inflammatory omega-6 vegetable fats. Unfortunately we cannot say the same about sirloin steaks or cheeseburgers made from grain-fed beef rich in saturated fat. Cold-water fish and omega-3 fish oil capsules stabilize blood sugar and lower insulin levels—key factors in preventing weight gain and achieving successful weight loss.
Dosage information: As a dietary supplement, take one 1,000- milligram wild sockeye salmon oil softgel with or after a meal up to three times daily. To maximize benefits, higher doses should be approved
by your health care professional.
