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!
I would also suggest that if you are going to eat fish oil everyday, that you make sure it is molecularly distilled, that way you won’t risk mercury contamination.
Fish oil is one of our true miracle supplements, I wonder what they’ll discover next.
This is one of the promotional items that isn’t full of hype. Fish oil really does “rule” as you say, and has loads of health benefits. I eat fish and seafood regularly, and also use canola oil for my frying, but I still take fish oil supplements in small amounts, just because it is so good for ya.
