Fish Oil and exercise= accelerated weight loss

Twat, how many pills were you taking to achieve those levels? Or were you taking liquid instead?

Pills in the 1,000 mg capsulation a piece. My doodie smelled like fish constantly.

Para, of course you are right about AHA:s recommendation. And yes, the dosage I was thinking about was from Oilofpisces, where they compared % affected of test group and average intake daily in the US and in Japan. The japanese test group varied between 2-4 g daily - as an ordinary diet, mind you.

I just saw a breakdown at Livsmedelsverket, ordinary pacific ocean salmon had 0,05 grams / 100 gram fish. That’s 2 kilos of salmon a day to get 1 gram…I wonder what that japanese test group was eating!

Twat, if I understand you correctly, the dose of EPA+DHA you were taking was not actually 6 g/day, unless your pills were 100% EPA/DHA. Most pills sold are only 30% EPA+DHA; some of the more expensive brands are 60%.

I just took at leat 6 pills a day of the 1,000 mg capsules. What % was what, I don’t know. I don’t pick them up, my father’s friend does. Whatever brand was handy to wear he was at, was what I got. Right now, I have a half used bottle of Omega-3/Omega-6 Fish Oil, it says 1200 mg pills. I recall getting different brands, perhaps even straight Omega 3 when I first started? My Osteopathic Doctor recommended them in or around 2000 for me.

The bottle before me says in the supplement facts: Omega 3(EPA) is 360 mg, Omega 3 (DHA) is 240mg, & Omega 6 is 56 Mg. Whatever that means? I don’t have any of the old bottles that I started on. The brand is Nature Made. But I have not taken it in a long ass time.

The only thing that I know is I took this stuff from Sometime in 2000 till maybe 04, each and every day. I alwso took Cat’s Claw and some form of calcium too during that time. Either Coral calcium or Calcium Carbonate I think. Hobbit found the calcium relieves trots on here for me a ways back.

>>>Omega 3(EPA) is 360 mg, Omega 3 (DHA) is 240mg

Is that per pill, or per 2-pill serving?

In the former case, you were taking 3.6 g of EPA+DHA per day. In the latter case, you were taking 1.8 g of EPA+DHA per day.

It says serving size: 2 softgels

servings per container : 90 (out of the 180 pills total)

So each pill has half of the % I listed I assume.

Twatteaser, when you were taking your maximum dosage, did you notice any change in libido or sexual performance? Taking seven of the typical strength fish oil is at the lower threshhold of my sex diet.

Taken from the channel 7 website (major news station down under)

“We had this change from a high proportion of body fat and it gradually reduced over 12 weeks and we had a significant change at the end of 12 weeks,” study coordinator, Alison Hill, said.

Researchers discovered the fastest way to lose fat was to take six grams of fish oil a day and incorporate 45 minutes of intensive exercise into your regime, three times a week.

One is Nature’s Own Omega3 Fish oil Plus Ginkgo 3000. It reads; each capsule contains fish oil-natural 750mg containing beneficial omega-3 marine triglycerides, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 135mg, DHA 90mg, Ginkgo biloba ext. 3000mg.

One is Natures Way Fish Oil 1000mg. It reads on the side
Fish Oil natural: 1g
EPA 180mg
DHA 120mg.

Zane: you say that the EPA and DHA levels should exceed 500mg together right? Who benefits most from this dose? Also, If the main purpose I am taking these pills for is basically because of the information in that link, how should I go about getting the correct dosage etc.
Thank you

Hell if I know. I recommend taking pharmaceutical-grade fish oil because it is easier on the digestion. And I recommend taking it so people improve their libido. Don’t know about weight loss, although this is giving me incentive to exercise, since I’m already doing the other half in spades.

Yeah why not? Any added insentive to exercise I usualy grab with both hands!

Motivation is everything; and I take whatever I can get! :)

Fish oil burps are yummy!

If you really want to see results with Fish Oil try this stack.http://anabolic minds.com/forum … post-here.html?

I buy my Fish oil from Sam’s Club and my Alcar,R-ALA and Green Tea extract from Bulk Nutrition. I buy the 1-Fast 400 brand.

I don’t take the CLA with this stack because of the cost . I take 6 fish oil gel caps, 2 in the morning, noon, and night. I take 3 grams of Green Tea spread throughout the day, not after 5 pm. I take 100 mg of R-ALA with each of my 5 meals and 500 mg of Acetyl L-Carnitine with each meal. Do not take Green Tea or Alcar at night. This stack really does work for weightloss. I’m an Ectomorph and I can see veins on my Abs from it. You will LOVE Acetyl L-Carnitine because it’s also great for focus and mood. I have probably gone off topic here so let me bring it back, Fish Oil is awsome stuff for many purposes.
