Weight Loss Using Synergy
Today seems to be the day when I can get some extra work done, mainly because it's so quiet around here! My wife has gone out to do one of her many projects, and cats are not clawing at me for attention. This type of household serenity is very rare, so I'm making the most 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.
One conclusion was that study members who took fish oil and did moderate exercise lost weight. They also had increases in muscle mass, and profound changes in cardiac risk factors.
Those who took fish oil and did not exercise did not lose weight, and neither did a group taking sunflower oil.
The weight loss group took between 3 and 6 grams of fish oil per day. Now, normally less would suffice for most people, but I suspect the folks in this study had fairly significant weight problems, and would need more than the average bear.
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. Be sure to think about how you are spending your hard-earned money. You need to buy a superior product: one that is high-grade, molecularly-distilled and is certified to contain 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. Flaxseed oil is simply not as effective as fish oil. In order to get the same benefits as fish oil, you would need to take 6 times the amount of flaxseed oil -- that is, 12 grams of flaxseed oil, as compared to merely 2 pharmaceutical-grade fish oil softgels. And flaxseed oil is likely to send you to the bathroom much more often than you would like.
If you want to create synergy for weight loss, try enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil, good food, and moderate exercise. - 17268
