If you struggle with weight issues despite sticking to a reasonably healthy diet and regular exercise routine, it’s time you got in on this little secret. It isn’t your fault. The modern American diet has made you the victim of a tragic nutrient deficiency.
Oh, sure, you’ve probably heard all your life how important it is to eat your fruits and veggies. But you’ve also heard that you should avoid fat—thanks to the wrong-headed advice of American nutritionists.
And that lack of dietary fat is a big fat problem for more than 90 percent of Americans who are missing out on the incredible health—and weight loss—benefits of omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Guess what? If you struggle with stubborn weight around your midsection, there’s a good chance you’re among them…
That’s because without the helpful long-chain fatty acids found in omega-3s—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)— the cells in your body become sluggish…
And sluggish cells cause your metabolism to plummet.
With the addition of EPA and DHA, however, activity within cells increases. That’s because these building blocks of omega-3s give the cells in your body what they need to operate most efficiently.
So that means if you’re going to reach your weight loss goals, you have to think all the way down to the cellular level…
Researchers have proven that increasing omega-3 intake in obese people reduces belly fat by actually shrinking the size of individual fat cells. And here’s how it works…
Just as people who are more active tend to be leaner, the omega-3s have the amazing ability to increase metabolic activity within fat cells—so the more active cells stay in leaner shape than sluggish ones.
The benefit of kicking cellular activity into high gear is huge when it comes to sustainable weight loss. That’s because the smaller and more active fat cells that remain as you begin to shed pounds respond far better to diet and exercise.
This means that by adding more omega-3s to your diet, you actually can lose weight and keep it off without unsustainable fad diets and unrealistic exercise regimens.
Optimizing your diet with omega-3s…
A big reason so many Americans are deficient in omega-3s is that our diets are low in healthy, oily fish like salmon and mackerel. But adding more omega-3s to your diet doesn’t mean you must start buying and preparing expensive seafood dinners several times each week.
The most healthful, potent and convenient source of the fatty acids is krill oil.
Made from krill, a small, shrimp-like crustacean found in the cold ocean areas of the world, krill oil is packed with EPA and DHA. Krill is the main food source for whales in the Antarctic Ocean—and because it’s at the bottom of the food chain and found in the cleanest oceans on the planet, it’s a source of omega-3s virtually free of toxins that are commonly found in larger ocean fish.
Beyond its clean composition, what makes krill oil such a better ‘delivery method’ for omega-3s than fish and fish oil are the phospholipids that bind its fatty acids.
Because your body naturally produces phospholipids, EPA and DHA delivered through krill oil’s phospholipid structure makes it easy for your body’s cells to get the most nutritional benefit from the oil. In fact, compared to fish oil—which delivers EPA and DHA in triglyceride form— krill oil is absorbed 10 to 15 times better.
That means your cells get packed with plenty of EPA and DHA needed for the peak metabolic function that promotes healthy weight loss.

While krill oil is an excellent weight loss aid, you’ll benefit in many other ways by making it part of your daily routine. That’s because quality krill oil is also abundant in vitamin E, vitamin A and vitamin D (which most of us need more of). Its antioxidant potency—in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values—is 48 times more potent than fish oil.
That means along with quick and sustainable weight loss results, krill oil can also provide:
- Better skin, hair and nail health
- Mood enhancement and improved cognitive function
- Heart benefits
- Improved joint health and relief from arthritis
To get the most out of krill oil for weight loss and overall good health, a dose of around 1000mg per day of a quality supplement should do the trick.
