I've preached this message for years, but recently, I realized I  needed to drop about 10 lbs of fat myself. So, I reincorporated it into  my diet by adding one table spoon to a meal replacement shake and consuming it twice a day. I dropped the  weight in only about 6 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Flax oil is the most important food you can consume to strip off every last ounce of bodyfat. That is quite a  statement to make, but it's 100% accurate - let me explain why. Some of  you may know that there are two essential fatty acids that are necessary  for us to maintain optimal health, and also for use to stay alive. They  are the Omega-3 fatty acids and the Omega-6 fatty acids. The one that  we are primarily concerned about for metabolism is the Omega-3 fatty  acids. And the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids is Flax Oil.<\/p>\n<p>Omega-3  fatty acid is important because it enables the body to make  prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a group of hormone like substances  that mediate a wide range of physiological functions, such as  metabolism, smooth muscle activity, and nerve transmission. And as I  mentioned before, they are important because they are derived from  unsaturated fat.<\/p>\n<p>The dieter's dilemma is that the Omega-3 fatty  acids are hard to come by from food alone. You see, most dietary fat  that we consume is highly processed saturated fat. And this type of fat  does not contain many Omega 3 fatty acids. If it did, the general  American population would not be as overweight as it is! Instead,  saturated fats contain trans fatty acids, which cause high cholesterol  and do not have any beneficial effects on the metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>In  contrast, High Lignan Flax Oil, does not contain trans fatty acids and  as mentioned before is the richest source of the Omega 3 fatty acids.  The dietitians, doctors, and old-school bodybuilders who claim that all  fat is bad and that all fat makes you fat are just plain wrong! Most  Americans are deficient in the Omega-3 fatty acids because it is almost  impossible to get them from diet alone without supplementation. And  since the Prostaglandins that mediate metabolism and muscle activity are  derived from Omega-3 fatty acid, it is crucial to have enough of it  around for the body to burn fat.<\/p>\n<p>This is not speculation, but  researched fact. A diet higher in Omega-3 fatty acids of which High  Lignan Flax Oil is the richest source, will have more lean muscle, lower  bodyfat, and better health. In fact, the Omega-3's are so important,  that they have been found to be all of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cholesterol reducing (the perfect fat to include on a Ketogenic or Atkins diet)<\/li>\n<li>Anti-lipogenic (they block fat storage)<\/li>\n<li>Anti-catabolic (they prevent muscle breakdown)<\/li>\n<li>Increase lipolysis and beta oxidation (Fat burning -- even the brown fat cells in the love handles)<\/li>\n<li>Improve insulin sensitivity (Keeping blood sugar levels down and metabolism high) <\/li>\n<li>Increase thermogenesis (Slightly elevated body temperature promotes faster fat burning)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adding  flaxseed oil to your foods, or taken with a meal, creates a feeling of  satiation (feeling of fullness and satisfaction following a meal). The  essential fats in flaxseed oil cause the stomach to retain food for a  longer period of time as compared to no-fat or low-fat foods. The  addition of Flax Oil to food results in a gradual release of nutritients  into the small intestine. The physiological effect is a slow, sustained  rise in blood sugar, then a prolonged plateau of blood sugar.  Ultimately, the blood sugar undergoes a slow and gradual drop.<\/p>\n<p>You  will experience a corresponding feeling of prolonged energy, stamina  and satisfaction with no immediate hunger pangs following the meal. The  net result is that you feel fuller, longer and, actually eat fewer  calories in the long run than if you would have chosen a no-fat or  low-fat diet.<\/p>\n<p>I generally recommend that athletes take one  tablespoon of High Lignan Flax Oil per 75lbs of bodyweight. I have  worked with some Pro athletes who took up to 10 tablespoons of High  Lignan Flax Oil per day and still LOST bodyfat. Flax oil does not  convert to bodyfat, not ever. And this fact alone, makes it the perfect  supplement for a dieter, and the perfect food for a hardgainer needing a  way to increase calories.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the lignans in Flax Seed  Oil have been shown to have potent anti-estrogenic effects. This is of  special interest to bodybuilders who are always looking to increase  their testosterone to estrogen ratio. Here's one cheap, natural way to  do it without putting yourself on the wrong side of the law!<\/p>\n<p>A few points about High Lignan Flax Oil merit consideration.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High Lignan Flax Oil must be cold expeller pressed and unfiltered to be effective. (Heat will destroy its beneficial properties)<\/li>\n<li>Forget about capsules, they are heat processed. (And it would take about 14 to equal one tablespoon of liquid oil)<\/li>\n<li>Flax oil must be fresh. (It goes rancid very quickly and will not be edible, so put it in the refrigerator after opening)<\/li>\n<li>Not  all Flax Oil is high in lignans -- a High Lignan oil will be a rich,  dark-brown color, inferior oil will be a pale yellow. (Lignans help  increase testosterone levels and are anti-estrogenic)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need to shred off some bodyfat add Flax Seed Oil to your diet.<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to share with you my secret weapon for fat loss, the one I used myself to lose 10 lbs. of fat &#8212; with no loss of muscle.
