Turn to Omega-3 Diet:




Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, or simply omega 3 is a healthy type of fat that you can find in deep sea fish, including swordfish, shark, mackerel, and salmon. Canola oil and walnuts also contain omega 3, which actually has three types namely docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and alpha-linoleic acid.

Aside from being healthy, many weight loss plans include omega-3 fatty acids, including the Ornish plan, which says you need to have one gram or less of omega 3s per day. Meanwhile, the Atkins and the Zone diets recommend that you should consume about three to four grams of the fat each day. Based on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, one gram up to three grams of omega 3s can help you lose weight.

Before you start rushing on adding omega 3s in your diet, you should know that there is no strong evidence that states this fatty acid can stop you from gaining weight. According to a researcher from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center named Mario Kratz, PhD, omega 3s don't have a direct effect on your goals to losing weight. This is something that he discovered, along with his team, when they conducted a research on a diet that puts an emphasis on consuming omega 3s.

However, this does not mean omega 3s are ineffective. If you are obese or overweight, this fatty acid can help you eliminate or prevent health conditions linked to your case, including heart disease. Additionally, omega 3s can help improve your body's sensitivity to glucose and can help reduce your resistance to insulin. It also fights arthritis symptoms and other conditions that involve inflammation. What's more, omega 3s can speed up the oxidation of fat by means of encouraging a receptor found in the liver that is responsible for storing fat.

If you think about it, you should definitely add omega 3 fatty acids in your diet, especially if you intend to manage your weight. Instead of foods that contain saturated fats, omega 3s are definitely much healthier. Start today by changing your diet. For instance, instead of beef, choose salmon. When you cook food, use canola oil and not butter.

Omega 3 fatty acids can help you maintain good health as you watch your weight. Incorporate these fatty acids to your diet, which may consist of green leafy vegetables, nuts, and fish. These healthy fats can actually complement your diet and your overall weight loss plan.

Eat Apple:

You probably already know that fruits and vegetables can help you lose weight. One of the best fruits that you can consume is apple, which has a ton of nutrients. In fact, there is a saying that goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." However, apples are not only good at warding off diseases; they can also help fight obesity, making this an ideal food to eat when you are aiming to lose weight.

How Apple Helps Battle Weight Gain Apples, when eaten regularly, can help stop you from getting metabolic health conditions, including diabetes. The active ingredient in this wonder fruit is known as ursolic acid. This natural compound is found not in the meat of the fruit, but in its peels. Therefore, if you are used to remove apple peels, this is the time for you to stop and just eat this fruit as is.

As proven by a study performed by researchers from the University of Iowa, a daily dose of the apple peels that contain ursolic acid can fight the incidence of obesity as well as other conditions that are linked to obesity, such as fatty liver disease and even pre-diabetes.

It is important that you know this acid is not something that magically eliminates your chances of becoming obese; rather, it increases brown fat and skeletal muscle mass, as found in the mentioned study which involved mice.

Ursolic acid plays a huge role in helping you lose weight. It allows the protein Akt to become more active in your body. When this happens, burning glucose for energy is more efficient than ever.

Metabolism Booster: Although there is still a need for more research concerning the effects of apple peels with ursolic acid in humans, increased muscle mass is actually the way to enhance metabolism.

Note that one pound of your muscle can burn several more calories than just having one pound of fat. Meanwhile, increase in brown fat is beneficial to humans as well. When you have this good type of fat in your body, you will also experience a boost in your metabolism. This is because brown fat helps insulate the body from cold, while generating fuel and heat. When you are cold, this good type of fat will activate and torch more calories just to make you feel warm.

If your goal is to lose weight, experts recommend that you eat apples at least once a day. You may already be aware that this fruit is high in fiber. An apple peel has 4.4 grams of fiber, which is equivalent to 18% of the required fiber daily intake.
