Weight Loss Using Synergy
I'm able to get some extra work done today because it's one of those rare days where it's quiet in the house. My wife is out, and miraculously, the cats all seem to be asleep or occupied and don't need my attention. This doesn't happen very often, so I'm taking advantage of it.
Taking a break from the action, I just read a great article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that was published in 2007. The article has a fascinating consensus.
The article states that members of a study that was performed on people who took fish oil regularly and performed a moderate amount of exercise were able to lose weight. Additionally, those people showed an increase in muscle mass as well as a remarkable decrease in risk factors for cardiac problems.
The people who took fish oil, but did not do any exercise, did not lose weight and those who took sunflower oil had the same results.
The people in the group that did lose weight ingested a dosage of 3 to 6 grams of fish oil a day. Normally, most people would take less, but I think that the people in this study had major weight problems, so their dosages were higher.
There was also an article that contained a review of the study itself, and the author makes points which are precisely along the lines of what I have been saying.
1. Spend your money wisely -- on a good product. You need to be taking a very high-grade, high-potency fish oil, one that is molecularly distilled and contains no contaminants or PCBs.
2. Your fish oil should not taste fishy, or give you "fish burps." This is why you should only take fish oil that has an enteric coating. This insures the softgels travel deep into the digestive system before they are released.
3. Don't be tempted to take flaxseed oil instead -- it's not nearly as effective as fish oil. You would need to take 12 grams of flaxseed oil in order to match the benefits of only two high-quality fish oil softgels. And flaxseed oil has the added detriment of causing you to spend more time in the bathroom than might be convenient.
To achieve synergistic weight loss, you can't go wrong by combining enteric coated, high-potency, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil, with moderate exercise and a healthy diet. - 17269
