Q: I have been getting a lot of Omega-3s from fish oil and flax oil, and have been eating a ton of protein. My fat loss is so accelerated right now. But my question is, why does one fat cause more fat loss than another. I mean, why couldn’t you swill vegetable oil instead of flax, or eat fatty meats and lose a ton of fat?

A: Well, from a ketogenic standpoint, all fats are created equal and you get progress in the way of fat loss. But, it’s long been known that Omega-3s are rife with fat burning effects. You will be even better off balancing the fats by getting Omega-6s (GLA from Evening Primrose), Omega-3s from flax oil and fish oil are a great complement. The higher the fat (within reason) the higher the fat loss. Your body turns into a virtual furnace eating 100g of fish, flax and EPO. At each meal, take in 15 grams of O3s and add 2 to 4 grams of O6s, along with 8 to 10 ounces of protein. You will melt off a lot of fat using this formula (make sure to eat vegetables). As for “Swilling” veggie oil or some other type, as you say, it just doesn’t have the nutritive value that pure O3 offers, via fish and flax oils.
