Fish Oil

[danbo]

I might be starting to follow "the skinny bastard" diet soon. It says that i need 40g of good fats per day, 20g of which needs to come from fish oil.

I have bought omega-3 tablets. They contain 1g of fish oils per tablet.

Do i really need to eat 20 of these per day?

For 90 tablets it cost me £3.99, if i take 20 a day, thats only 4.5 days they will last for and thats way too expensive.

you can get fish oil from fish too (salmon, tuna, etc) but if you aint eating then yes you would have to swallow 20 to these

There isn't much in most fish, there is no way i can afford to take 20 omega-3 pills a day.

No there is no need at all to take 20g of fish oil it is foolish and irresponsible. You need to aim for 3-4g epa/dha a day. Studies show above this there is no increase in health benefits but an increase in glucose intolerance which i am sure you can understand is bad.

You can always buy the liquid form. 1 tbsp = 14 grams. It's a lot cheaper than the pills.

Agreed the liquid form is MUCH more economical. I've used liquid fish oil before and feel I should warn that the taste and aftertaste is really awful. So bad that every once in a while I'd gag on it and, to put it delicately, need to take another dose . And I am not generally sensitive to nastiness in my supplements.

Having said that, I do recommend the liquid fish oil. Just understand that it is probably one of the most vile substances you will ever consume.

Check out the EPA and DHA in one teaspoon of this! If you find anything more potent, let me know - but this stuff is currently *the business*:
