Eat More Fat and Lose Weight says Advanced Nutrition Programme

23 March 2011

As the holiday season looms, thoughts are turning to skimpier clothing and slimming takes priority once more. The great news is there’s fresh advice for those who usually rush to cut all the fat from their diet.

Those in the know are already aware that eating fat (the right kind) doesn’t make you fat.  And now scientists have shown that supplementing high levels of Omega 3 fish oil reduces body fat significantly.  And you get healthier as a bonus, says nutritional consultant Lorraine Perretta who works with Advanced Nutrition Programme, the specialised line of supplements developed by Patrick Holford to support a healthy body and great skin.

A study reported in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition compared the effects in 44 healthy women and men taking a placebo safflower oil or a fish oil daily – in levels equivalent to taking nine Advanced Nutrition Programme Omega 3 capsules.

The findings revealed a significant decrease in fat mass (-0.5kg) in the fish oil group and a similar increase in lean body mass.   The exact mechanisms are unknown but one possibility is that EPA and DHA, constituents of Omega 3, may prevent or inhibit the production of fat, thereby reducing fat in the body.

Omega 3 fish oil has multiple known benefits even in smaller doses, helping mental function, making us feel happier, improving cholesterol levels, enhancing cardio-vascular health and improving skin hydration and moisture retention.

“This is one more piece of research that contradicts the all too common fat phobia that dieters really need to overcome.   So now we have the green light to eat lots more oily fish or for the ultimate convenience, supplement our daily diet with high quality, purified fish oil capsules.”

Advanced Nutrition Programme Omega 3 Fish Oil  - 60 capsules is a blend rich in EPA and DHA, two key essential fatty acids. The oil is scrupulously screened for PCBs and other pollutants to ensure maximum purity.  The product is part of the range of supplements from the Advanced Nutrition Programme, available from health and beauty practitioners in salons, spas and clinics nationwide.
