THE 3-<strong>WEEK</strong> <strong>DIET</strong>—INTRODUCTION MANUAL<br />

to get your essential fatty acid needs. To maximize your effectiveness on How to Lose Weight Fast,<br />

essential fatty acid intake is imperative.<br />

The two major forms of omega-3 fats used by the body are (EPA) eicosapentaenoic acid and<br />

(DHA) docosahexaenoic acid.<br />

Research has shown that a person who keeps a diet high in Omega-3’s is at low risk for cardiovascular<br />

diseases. Other research has also suggested that EFA’s may reduce depression and feelings of<br />

suicide.<br />

You may be wondering, how will this help my diet? Well, the key to this fatty acid is that during the<br />

metabolism of these acids, energy is generated in the cells. During your diet, your energy sources<br />

from protein and essential fatty acids will help your metabolism to continue running and burning<br />

those extra carbohydrates (or stored fat) for fuel.<br />

Fish oil also has other benefits, such as:<br />

Reduces inflammation<br />

Eliminates joint pain<br />

Improves vision<br />

Increases mental focus<br />

Treats ulcers, Chron’s Disease, and colitis<br />

Provides healthier gums<br />

Gives you smoother skin, hair and nails<br />

Decreases triglyceride levels<br />

Increases daily calorie burn<br />

After 30-days taking EPA/DHA supplements, you will really see and feel these benefits.<br />

EPA/DHA balance should be 2:1. Based on the research I’ve read, the appropriate amount is<br />

around 2g EPA to 1g DHA each day. For most “regular” strength fish oils on the market, this<br />

comes out to about 10 EPA/DHA capsules each day or 5 teaspoons of straight fish oil. This may<br />

sound like a lot but it will get your EPA/DHA levels up to where they need to be for optimum<br />

health and ease of fat burning.<br />
