THE 3-WEEK DIET—INTRODUCTION MANUAL
to get your essential fatty acid needs. To maximize your effectiveness on How to Lose Weight Fast,
essential fatty acid intake is imperative.
The two major forms of omega-3 fats used by the body are (EPA) eicosapentaenoic acid and
(DHA) docosahexaenoic acid.
Research has shown that a person who keeps a diet high in Omega-3’s is at low risk for cardiovas-
cular diseases. Other research has also suggested that EFA’s may reduce depression and feelings of
suicide.
You may be wondering, how will this help my diet? Well, the key to this fatty acid is that during the
metabolism of these acids, energy is generated in the cells. During your diet, your energy sources
from protein and essential fatty acids will help your metabolism to continue running and burning
those extra carbohydrates (or stored fat) for fuel.

After 30-days taking EPA/DHA supplements, you will really see and feel these benefits.
EPA/DHA balance should be 2:1. Based on the research I’ve read, the appropriate amount is
around 2g EPA to 1g DHA each day. For most “regular” strength fish oils on the market, this
comes out to about 10 EPA/DHA capsules each day or 5 teaspoons of straight fish oil. This may
sound like a lot but it will get your EPA/DHA levels up to where they need to be for optimum
health and ease of fat burning.
