Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Weight Loss
This post is in continuation of my previous post What are fattening foods. In which I talked on how we can identify fattening foods as well as how can we avoid constipation. This time I will talk particularly about natural unprocessed fats that we should include in our daily diet. As these fats help us burn fat and keep our gastronomical tract greasy to aid good bowel movement.
Fat has an undeserved reputation as a diet food that is bad for weight loss and health. True, Trans Fats are bad. I also agree that all fats are calorie-dense (9 calories per gram), BUT calorie-counting is not the decisive factor: how easily the calories are burned is more crucial. What are those fats?
Omega 3 Essential Fatty acids, the fats that are found in polyunsaturated fats, help to regulate the body’s blood sugar levels, which helps keep hunger at bay. It has ALA(alpha linolenic acid) that helps to increase the metabolic processes and thus helps fat burning. Omega 3 intake is too good for diabetics, heart patients, cancer patients, people with skin diseases and obese.
We all should include Omega 3 intake in our diets!
1. Soak walnuts in an air tight container and keep it in the refrigerator and eat them next day.
2. Eat a spoon of flaxseeds daily like eat it at any cost. Just do not gulp it, rather munch it. If we eat walnuts and flax seeds religiously. We will soon observe changes in our skin and waist size!
3. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables. Winters are here. Literally devour those Palak(spinach), methi(fenugreek), bathua, sarso(musturd leaves), raddish leaves. Aloo methi, palak paneer, sarso ka saag. Eat them all this winter esp if you want to heal your skin, ease your constipation and manage your weight.
Happy Winters 
Cheers!

oh i love flaxseed, n prefer to munch it in ma office
bt nidhi, does eating walnuts or badam daily is ok?? i mean wht shud be there intake quantity and frequency in a day? since ppl say dey too increase weight if taken on regular basis
Yes Shruti eat them as a single meal once in a day pref in the morning esp soak them n water. The quantity entirely depends on your state like for pregnanat women 5 to 6 almonds are good daily. Someone who do rigrous workout might eat the same number. But for normal people with normal activity level 2 almonds and half or 1 walnut is good
Hey Nidhi, are roasted salted flaxseeds ok ? They taste yumm.. :p
hahaha…Bhumika have it this way if you like it
Hi, I take flax oil pills but I’m confused as to what is the daily requirement. I take 3 pills a day and each pill contains 500mg of flax seed oil. Am I doing it right?
