Hello Peter: Thank you for visiting our Portal.
Well, …in order to lose weight you are going to need more than omega 3, you need a program than incorporates omega 3 and change in your eating and exercise habits for the rest of your life.
Most of the population simply does not understand how important Omega 3 is for their health, and most probably think it is just another fad diet out there. However, Omega 3 fatty acids are vital for our health and is not simply a fad. It is to be taken seriously to live a healthier life. More than 90% of the western world population suffers Omega 3 deficiency because we have switched from a rich omega 3 diet to one loaded with omega 6( too much grains and grains oils).
Omega 3 fatty acids can help deter heart disease and a host of other disorders, reason for their importance in our health. If you have a deficiency of Omega 3 fatty acids you will be more likely to get some of these disorders in your life. Omega 3 plays a vital role in all of your cardiovascular cells. If you have a deficiency in Omega 3 fatty acids your overall cells may accelerate its deterioration.

You will need to exercise to elevate you metabolic rate in order to increase the number of calories your body burns, by increasing the muscle mass. This is better done with exercises that incorporate short burst of intense exercise followed by a period of recuperation , or slow exercise, followed by another short intense burst( example, sprint 30 seconds, rest until you catch your breath back, sprint again.. for 5 to 10 sprints). This type of exercise is done in a short time and is the most efficient way to burn fat. Weight lifting is something else that helps to burn calories efficiently.
Exercise is a very potent drug, good for your body but special for your mind and your soul, you have to apply everyday at a certain pace to get its wonderful benefits. No way to accumulate it… Nothing else compares to it, but that is a language impossible to understand for the person that has never done it. For more read

As for diet, I recommend the Paleo diet, that is the diet humans followed for millions of years before the advent of agriculture. Lost of fruits, vegetables and meats, no grains or cereals. That simple…. It is the perfect diet for us, we evolved for millions of years in this diet. No way to go wrong with it. You can read more at:
