Tip of the Week: Include Fish to Improve Weight Loss

One of the things I rarely included in my diet was fish. I really didn't know how to cook it or prepare it so I just avoided it and used other sources for protein.

After reading up on the benefits of fish oil I started to include it here and there. I started noticing that the weeks I ate more fish I looked leaner while not making any major adjustments in my diet.

I started to think that there was something to this fish oil after all. Anyway, give it a try. Include it in your diet twice a week and you will probably notice a difference just like I did.

Benefits of Fish/Fish Oil

Fish is high in protein. Protein is the building block of muscle. Muscle speeds up the metabolism.
Fish oil has anti inflammatory properties. This can reduce minor aches and pains, allowing you to workout better and therefore burn more calories each workout.
Fish oil has been reported to balance out your bad fats.
There's a theory that fish oil, or good fats in general are better utilized by the body and teach your body to burn fat more effectively

Salmon is my favorite fish as of now. Here's a good video I found that shows how it should be cooked. You might want to skip the mayo at the end or at least go really light with it.
