FAT LOSS TIP 5/20

“What supplement you should take to reduce body fat stores and reduce inflammation in your body.” 

I consider fish oil to be an essential supplement for fat loss. Data from the University of Western Ontario shows that fish oil supplementation increases lean body mass (during non-dieting conditions), increases BMR (by up to 400kcal/day), decreases inflammation, and improves the ratio of fat/carb oxidized (sparing carbs, burning fat).

Recommended dose: Start with 6-10g per day of total fish oil (assuming 30% EPA and DHA).

I personally prefer Carlson’s Fish Oil (cod liver in the winter and fish oil in the summer).  I buy it from www.vitacost.com.  They have it for about half the cost of any local health food store and their service is unbeatable. 

How does it taste?  I personally think it tastes great.  I use the lemon flavor.  My boys who are three and four beg me for a teaspoonful when I’m taking mine.  So not only is it healthy for you, but it is great for your kids as well.

Next time we’ll discuss why sleep affects fat loss and how you can better sleep.  Stay tuned.
