Researchers Find Omega-3s Block Fat Cell Formation
Researchers at the University of Georgia in Athens have found that DHA (one of the main omega-3s in fish fat) blocks the development of human fat cells.
Although more research will need to be done in this area, those trying to lose weight may find fish oils as a natural supplement to help with their weight loss efforts instead of turning to diet pills or unhealthy eating patterns. There are other health benefits in regards to fish oil, but from a weight loss standpoint alone, this is good news!
So how much should you add to your diet? Experts suggest adding 6 to 12 oz. of foods like salmon to your weekly diet. There’s also flax seed, walnuts, certain cooking oils, dark green vegetables, grass-fed beef, and then there’s always fish oil supplements.
