A DIET PLAN in which
fish oil is taken daily could increase your chances of fast weight loss,
according to scientists. Numerous studies have found a link between taking fish
oil and losing weight.
A diet plan could be
improved drastically by taking fish oil every morning if experts are to be
believed.
Various studies have
found a link between taking the oil and significant changes to the metabolism,
which are likely to boost weight loss.
One study found that
taking fish oil could burn the equivalent of 187 calories a day. That is the
same as two and half minutes of intense burpees.
The study found that
older women who took Omega-3 Fatty acids for 12 weeks had an “increased metabolic
rate and fat oxidation at rest and during exercise, decreased resting and
exercise heart rate and increased lean mass and physical function.”
The older women’s
metabolisms were boosted by 14 per cent, or 187 calories a day.
Another study found
that fish oil in young adults raised metabolisms by 3.8 per cent if taken for
12 weeks.
One more 12-week
study showed that three grams of fish oil a day increased the metabolism by 5.3
per cent.
In 2009 a study
published in Clinical Science found that mice who had Omega-3 fatty acid
supplements with a high fat diet had less body fat than those who didn’t - as
well as lower cholesterol.
The NHS said: "Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines are said to help against cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, age-related vision loss and dementia.
“It's a good source
of vitamin D, protein, some B vitamins and selenium. It's also a rich source of
omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat that is good for our health.”
Another early morning
diet tip involves eating a food that is high in protein for breakfast -
mushrooms.
The mushrooms make
dieters feel fuller for longer, and are just as filling as meat, according to
scientists.
One study, in
particular, found that those who replaced red meat with mushrooms for a year
lost half a stone.
There is one snack
that can help get rid of belly fat and slim down the thighs.
A recent study in the
journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism has discovered nuts could help
slimmers lose weight.
Walnuts, in
particular, were highlighted for their weight loss benefits.
