Get Fat to Get Thin

Not all fats are created equal. While it's true you should cut down your consumption of most fats, there are some fats that are essential to all diets.

Omega-3 fats, found in fish and fish oil, are essential nutrients that humans do not make enough of to satisfy our own metabolic needs. The absence of these fats in our system triggers our metabolism to shift into fat-storing mode.

A recent clinical trial concluded that women who were fed 2.8 grams of Omega 3 fats per day saw a greater reduction in weight, Body Mass Index and him circumference, compared to women who were given a placebo.

Omega-3 fats are also noted for their ability to enhance focus and are often used to help treat depression.

Not only will your body be healthier, but you'll be happier. Do I really need to keep going?
