Is Krill Oil a Weight Loss Supplement?

Omega-3 fats have been hailed as "miracle fats" because of its health promoting properties, particularly in protecting your heart and reducing your risk of cardiovascular disease . Now, new research suggests that omega-3 fats can also help you lose weight.

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that krill oil, one of the best animal sources of omega-3 fats, is more effective than fish oil in fighting certain metabolic conditions, including increased fat levels in the heart and liver.

Using parameters associated with obesity, the researchers found that krill oil helped reduce heart fat levels in lab rats by 42 percent, compared to just 2 percent for fish oil.

Krill oil also helped reduce liver fat levels by 60 percent, with fish oil only accounting for 38 percent. Fat build up in the liver is associated with insulin insensitivity and type 2 diabetes.

Natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola explains that weight gain is one of the symptoms of omega-3 deficiency. When your body does not get enough important essential fats like omega-3s, your metabolic rate slows down and you can't burn calories efficiently.

If you want to lose weight and don't consume enough essential fats, you should seriously consider taking a high-quality krill oil supplement daily, Dr. Mercola advises.

Another quality natural weight loss supplement Mercola recommends is BioThin, a new and all-natural product which combines the weight loss properties of seven botanicals and natural herbal supplements – apple cider vinegar, cayenne, fucoxanthin, hoodia, garcinia cambogia, ginger root, hoodia and pomegranate – to help you safely get rid of those excess pounds.

Besides helping you lose weight, BioThin also contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help you feel great as well.

However, no matter how effective your natural weight loss supplement is, if you don't exercise and eat according to your Nutritional Type, you'll find yourself getting back whatever pounds you've shed in no time.

So eat right, optimize your omega-3 fat levels, sweat it out with a sound exercise program and address any emotional concerns that may be preventing you from achieving your weight loss goals and you could be closer to your ideal weight faster than you think.
