Fish oil helps to loose weight?  

According to a recent study, overweight individuals who both took fish oil and exercised saw an increase in their good cholesterol and a decrease in their triglycerides along with a decrease in body fat. Now, before you rush out to buy fish oil pills and start scarfing them down like mad, be reminded these were the results of one study, and were "early" results at that.

The article mentions that those participating in the study were overweight, but it didn't say by how much. In other words, it is possible that the benefits of fish oil might be enjoyed only by those who are severely overweight instead of trying to shave off those last five pounds. Fish oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which previous studies have shown may good for the heart. Although Omega-3s have been linked to weight loss in lab studies, as noted by the researchers themselves, more testing is needed to understand fully the reasons for the results.

Fish oil it the oil that is supposed to be healthy for you. Say you are on a diet and skips all the other kinds of fat, then you should take in some fish oil.
