Weekly Nutrition Tip - Fish Oil Rules
Fish Oil Rules
by Dr. John Berardi 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).

6-10g is good as a start. For those who are seriously into strength training/weightlifting/weight training/bodybuilding: aim for 30-45g fish oil a day. (Poliquin’s Recommendations).
Mehdi, thanks for giving some great guidelines for those who are more active. It makes complete sense that they might get more benefit from an increased dosage.
Hi, I read John Berardi’s book too (which was an awesome book by the way), and fish oil is great!
Great article
I read about the weight loss, but it was just in case of male teenagers. The results were not so positive for females, but that was just one study I read while back.
Always be sure to buy molecularly distilled fish oil, if you don’t you risk excessive levels of mercury. Thanks for the guide!
