Fight Fat with Fat

by: Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS

I have discussed this before and it seems more research is now showing that certain fats will help you from gaining more fat.

University of Georgia researchers added a healthy Omega 3 fat to a culture of cells that had the potential to develop into fat cells.  The DHA (Omega 3 fat) stopped the fat cells in its tracks. 

The fatty acid either killed off the pre-fat cells or stunted it's growth.  This has been shown with other studies and is very encouraging with those looking to lose weight effectively.

For those looking to lose belly fat or burn fat fast add some healthy fats to your diet to potentially increase your metabolism and stop pre-fat cells in your body from turning into permanent fat cells.

I suggest you eat some type of cold water fish 2x a week as well as ingest a high quality fish oil such as Prograde EFA Icon (http://efaicon.professionalgradenutrition.com)
