Fish Oil and Weight Loss, Pieces of the Same Puzzle
"humans ate for millions of years raw meats, fruits and vegetables(paleo-diet)"
Fish Oil and Weight Loss?. Yes, good fats are essential to weight loss and everlasting good health.
How could omega 3 and weight loss be part of the same enigma?. Against the information you may have been getting from the medical community, to eat fat is the key to loose fat and to stay in optimum health. By fat we mean good fats. Please, continue reading for a better explanation.
The Fish Oil and Weight Loss.
It“s important to understand that primitive or Paleolithic(see my page on
exercise
) man never suffered the disorders we have in modern society. We evolved for millions of years, eating a diet rich in raw meat, saturated fats and a few carbohydrates (there was no agriculture, just fruits, some vegetables and few whole grains, fire was not used).
All that toppled by lots of exercise while chasing those foods. Our organism is formed and made for that diet. It is our natural diet and the closer we stay to it the healthier we“ll be. No matter what any low cholesterol oil manufacturer, modern medical organization or scientist say.
This is where omega 3 and weight loss come together. All that primitive food was full of omega 3 and the necessary omega 6 to have a perfect balance in their ratio.
For more on this see my page on essential fatty acids
. If you balance your omega 6 to omega 3 ratios by reducing your omega 6 and increasing the omega 3, you may get better results in your weight loss program.
A 12-week intervention trial examined the effect of omega-3 fish oil taken daily in combination with moderate aerobic exercise three times a week for overweight adults. Participants were diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms associated with obesity that include hypertension, high blood triglycerides and insulin resistance or heightened insulin levels, a precursor to diabetes.
The final results showed that the total proportion of fat in the body, particularly in the abdominal region, was reduced significantly in the omega 3 and exercise group, but not by fish oil or exercise alone.
While blood pressure tended to decrease with fish oil alone, the tendency was once again greatest in the fish oil and exercise group. It also had a beneficial effect on heart rate variability, triglyceride levels and artery function.
The Benefits of Fish Oil and Weight Loss Together
Whenever we have fish oil and weight loss working together, we can get the following results:
Major blood pressure drop. The effects of using omega 3 and weight loss together in blood pressure were bigger than either one separated, on overweight persons. With fish oil alone there was a drop of 6.0 mmHg diastolic / 3.0 mmHg systolic, with weight loss alone there was a drop of 5.5 mmHg /2.2mmHg, and 13.0 mmHg/9.3 mm Hg with Omega 3 and weight loss combined.
Burn more fat. If you take Fish oil and exercise the increased circulation restores the cells ability to burn fat efficiently, lost ability in overweight people. The improved blood flow to exercising muscles stimulates key enzymes to transport fat that needs to be used as fuel. Omega-3s increase fat-burning ability by improving the flow of blood to muscles during exercise.
Less food cravings. Fish oil cuts down on your cravings for food and even increases serotonin levels for good brain health.
Increased metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories.
Reduced cardiovascular risks. When fish oil and weight loss are together at work your vascular inflammation markers and insulin resistance are reduced.
Exercise 45-60 minutes per day at medium-high intensity.
No low fat diets anymore. Take moderate amounts of “natural fats” when hungry. They will satiate you for longer and will liberate you from depression. Read more www.drcranton.com/nutrition/oiling.htm
Cook with coconut oil instead of vegetable oils. When hungry in between meals eat lots of coconut. Nothing is healthier. It speeds up your metabolism.
No sodas, diet or regular. They are bad for your health for either their sugar contend or for their toxic and cancerous chemicals. I can see this sounds terrible for many people used to drink 5 or 6 sodas a day. They don’t understand how anybody could survive drinking that tasteless thing called water. It is difficult habit but after a few weeks you will survive.
A Norwegian study has shown that teens that drink the largest quantities of sugary soft drinks also have more mental health problems, including hyperactivity and distress. There was a clear association between soft drinks and hyperactivity, and additional links to other mental disorders. But the worst problem you get when you take soft drinks is OBESITY. Children see and imitate what their parents do, so if you stop drinking soft drinks, it can only help in your efforts to encourage your kids to be healthy as well.
No sugars, grains and specially grain oils like corn, sunflower, etc. These are responsible for the unbalance of Omega 6 to omega 3 that produce terrible consequences, like degenerative diseases, depression, mental disorders.

No hydrogenated oils or hydrogenated fats, like margarine, cookies, crackers etc. These are the infamous Trans fats.
Increase your consumption of natural fats. Butter, olive oil, coconut, coconut oil for cooking, milk, cheese, meats from grass-fed(not grain fed) cattle etc.
The ‘standard’ medical solution for high cholesterol is to prescribe a statin drug. Whereas these are generally effective in lowering cholesterol…some people pay a price…in side effects! These can range from damaged livers, muscle aches and even impotency.
