Essential Fatty Acids

Posted by Maria Kang on September 8th, 2006

These are extremely important, if not “essential.” A person cannot optimize fat loss or health without the proper use of EFAs. The truth is these fats can help aid in keeping blood sugar levels stable. So you actually feel full longer. Meaning: you get full by eating less food, which inhibits food cravings and prevents overeating.

Some of these healthy fats can trigger fat burning rather than fat storage. (GLA) is a type of Omega 6 - It activates brown fat, the type of fat in the body that speeds up fat metabolism and helps in the burning of excess calories as heat.

You can also use CLA, a more specialized healthy fat that has been shown to enhance immunity, repartition calories, and lower bodyfat. To learn more about EFA’s.
