Fish Oils -- Preliminary Anecdotes

I've always been hesitant of taking fish oil supplements.  The one big thing holding me back was the fish burps you get after you take fish oil.  So I've been taking three grams of fish oil daily for the past couple weeks and it's true.  I did get the fish burps.  They're nasty fishy tasting belches you get after taking the fish oil, but the benefits outweigh the negatives.

I seem to be losing fat and my appetite has been curbed somewhat.   I've always had a theory that the body feels hungry only when it needs a specific nutrient, and the fish oil supplements I guess have been filling my body's appetite for the specific nutrients found in fish oil pills.

Specifically, DHA and EPA are the target nutrients. From what I've seen on the web, it's recommended you take three grams of combined DHA and EPA daily. They're pretty easy to find. I just went to my local grocery store and picked up three bottles. Supposedly they burn fat, and stop the body from breaking down muscle tissue.

I got the idea to take fish oils from this guy. His name is Sean Nalewanyj.  He's very knowledgeable about supplements and bodybuilder and strength training nutrition. I don't know if he uses steroids or not but he claims he used to deadlift 600 pounds.

From his recommendations on nutrition, I have gained in strength. He does want you to buy his supplements he's hawking on his website though, but I can't vouch for any of them because I haven't taken them. I usually just find all my supplements either at a grocery store or pharmacy or at a supplement store. I can't recommend any of his strength training routines either because I think mine are the best.

Anyways check him out.
