Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 weight loss studies

omega-3

Avatar m tn Many studies are exposed everyday. My opinion is this : try to eat food which contain omega 3 such as sardines or salmon etc If it is difficult for you I would suggest omega 3 capsules but I would also suggest you to confirm this with your doctor because all capsules are not the same!
1655526 tn?1330655629 I know that omega 3 is really supposed to be good for the heart, but I get palps after I take them for 3 days, especially krill oil. I've read in this forum that others have also had adverse reactions to taking this supplement. So I wanted to put this poll out to see how omega 3 affects you. The first time I suspected krill oil, which is supposed to be the best omega 3, I used the process of elimination. Still not believing it I did it a second and third time.
Avatar n tn If you teach them a certain lifestyle early, the hope is that it will travel with them throughout their adult years. Studies are showing that omega-3 is good in so many other ways (joint, heart, brain) and now there's another benefit -it can help our kids too.
Avatar f tn Walking for forty minutes on the incline is the best. It will not only help you loose weight but is one of the few exercises that actually tighten the stomach muscles! Recent research has shown that taking omega 3 on it's own whilst good for you does not assist with weight loss but taking omega 3 and exercising has been proven to assist in loosing weight. Exercise whilst assisting weight loss can also build muscle. Muscle being heavier than fat might mean no loss!
Avatar n tn I am not sure of your question. Are you asking where omega 3 and omega 6 foods come from? Omegas 3 / 6 are polyunsaturated oils that help lower cholesterol and help prevent blood platelets from clotting blood vessel walls. The best source is fish especially mackerel, tuna, salmon, and lake trout. Fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week. Omega 3 are found in whole nuts, soy nuts / oil, and canola oil. Recommend 1-2 teaspoons of nuts daily. Hope this answered your question.
Avatar f tn BMI is a bit different measurement than whether you're over or under weight. It's an attempt to measure how much of whatever you weigh is fat and how much is lean tissue or muscle. If you look fine you probably don't have a weight problem, but you might have an eating problem even if it's just small. Health is a different measurement than weight.
Avatar f tn After my son was born i weighed 180 pounds.I recently started taking phentermine for weight loss but i read that i can gain the weight back because my body will try to gain its normal weight back. My question is will my body feel safe at 140 pounds or will it try to recover the 180 pounds i had weighed?Also i would like to know if there is any chance of me gaining weight while taking phentermine? I follow a low carb diet but i have not seen fast results.
Avatar f tn In very small studies of 10 and 16 participants, people with MS that were treated with omega-3 supplementation had a reduced relapse rate and improved expanded disability status scale (EDSS) scores. In a larger placebo-controlled study, therapeutic effects (fewer relapses and less disability progression) were seen in the treatment group, although these were not statistically significant.
962905 tn?1247147215 What are the best choices when it comes to fruits for weight loss? The healthiest options will be the lower calorie, low carb fruits, although even higher calorie fruits such as the banana are a far better alternative than most snacks found in a vending machine. One of the best fruit choices is the apple. Apples are not only low in calories and relatively low in carbs, they're also high in pectin, a natural ingredient similar to fiber, which helps to promote satiety.
Avatar m tn Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.

Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Avatar n tn Hello~Your diet sounds good, all those things should help and also keep the diabetes in the "normal" range. I would also like to add a list of some things that might help: Vitamin E "Vitamin E can be used as both a supplement and as a topical remedy for dry skin. When taken orally, vitamin E's powerful antioxidant properties can help to protect the skin from further damage.

Avatar f tn Anyone has had any experience or heard more in depth knowledge with Omega-3 helping with Bipolar symptoms. From what I have read it mostly helps with mood swings.

Avatar m tn Regardless of what your Dr. says, there are several studies indicating Omega 3 supplementation can reduce the incidence of arrhythmia. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn It can "indirectly". Safe/healthy weight loss has been defined by many studies to be around 2-3 pounds per week(lost). There are a lot of factors for each individual person that determine what amount of weight lost is still safe/healthy. But generally you dont want to lose much more than 2-3lbs per week. This is because when you diet, it typically requires you to restrict or remove certain nutrients to lose weight.
Avatar f tn You need approximately 1500-1800 calories per day which is spread across 3-5 meals a day with snacks between meals. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Avatar f tn What brand of Omega 3's are you using? I have been taking just the Kroger brand Omega 3's with fish oil concentrate. Should I maybe look at the health food store for some that are especially for pregnancy? Thanks!
