As for supplements, Calcium as citrate, Magnesium as citrate and Vit D. Just keep exercising in a way you enjoy. I walk and do country dancing. So I fry all my food in the super healthy olive oil and get my omega 3s from flax seeds right? Got it! Jokes apart… brilliant post Rob! Its about time you wrote this definite article on fish oils, especially after all the back and forth on whether fish oil supp is good or bad or ugly.
Is it okay to heat olive oil? Many thanks for this thorough analysis of the subject. According to your new recommendations, should I be taking these daily anyway? I am also considering buying the fermented fish oil the one Chris Kresser recommends once I finish this bottle. I guess most people take pills daily regardless of what they ate that day, whereas I am trying to adjust based on what nutrients I have taken in.
Thanks again for another great post. This is referring to the Naval guy. The stack has been the only thing that has worked, as far as, aiding me falling and staying asleep. I did this in conjunction with switching my workouts to early mornings. I tried the early morning workouts without the stack, but I still had problems staying asleep. Thanks for all that you do. Awesome post, just a quick question on fish. I was just wondering if anyone knew if that was an accurate reading?
That is interesting about fish oil and trig decrease. My husband has been taking fish oil to improve his cholesterol numbers. In the past year, his trigs have gone down considerably not to a healthy range yet, though , but his HDL is still very low and his LDL and total cholesterol levels are still high. The theory Robb posits in this article is interesting, but I do not think it comports with all of the scientific evidence at hand.
Many studies have shown, for example, that chronic consumption of a diet high in fish oil and to a lesser extent, fish oil supplementation can profoundly reduce postprandial triglycerides in response to a test meal, regardless of the content of the test meal see, e.
In other words, dietary lipids of all kinds are either cleared more rapidly, or delivered to the serum more slowly or in lesser amounts, as a result of a few weeks of fish oil supplementation. Park and Harris [2] demonstrated that the reduction in postprandial triglycerides is due at least in part to enhanced clearance of chylomicrons, probably mediated by upregulation of lipoprotein lipase by increasing its sensitivity to insulin?
If the effect of fish oil on triglycerides was due only to the theory Robb presents above, one would expect the postprandial effect of fish oil supplementation to be modest as compared to its effects on fasting levels. In fact, in folks with normal fasting triglycerides, fish oil supplements do not seem to have any effect in the fasted state, while they nevertheless have a significant effect postprandially.
The same paper by Park and Harris cites other research showing that fish oil supplements reduce fasting triglycerides at least in part through their effect on reducing VLDL production. There seem to be many factors involved here, and the simple theory Robb presents does not seem to fit all of the facts. Blood sugar is literally a piece of cake compared to this stuff! Reduction of postprandial triglyceridemia in humans by dietary n-3 fatty acids.
Harris et al , Journal of Lipid Research. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation accelerates chylomicron triglyceride clearance. Park and Harris , Journal of Lipid Research. It is much less harsh than the non-flavored variety. Yes, but have you tried it with a NorCal margarita chaser???? I take my clo in the morning as suggested by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig — does that mean I have to become a morning drinker?
Great post Robb. I love how you are always willing to revisit your findings, tweak them, change them and share what you have newly learned. Thank you, thank you! And thanks for making this complex material understandable to the common man.
Again, this is a mark of a true scientist, and someone of great integrity. If you ever make to Kentucky…. Thank you for this! Now I know. Thank you again! Does it apply to any wild game? Like maybe an Elk Hunter or a bio-chemist. Geez, you let some people rack up a rep as a skilled copy-editor, sound engineer, guy-who-splices-still-shots of the speaker into audio files, while transcribing all their podcasts in Mandarin… and they get all preachy.
This is why I say you now have to up the professionalism and delete the slang. Re your comment, I think Robb should be Robb, I think many other people including yours truly like him just the way he is. Friendly, open, real, and very forthcoming with information…. He means both I would assume. There are huge amounts of linoleic acid in most commonly consumed nuts. See: fat content of nuts. Conclusion: Avoid nuts in significant quantities except for Macadamias, which are awesome in all ways.
Thanks for the nut link. And hallelujah re macadamia nuts. Not sure I could get enough calories in with out macadamia nuts. Sure…but if you have fat loss goals it is obviously calorie dense…. Or no? Thanks Robb…I have adopted the paleo way after years of belly discomfort- 6 months now and I am 12 kilos lighter and have never felt better…. Excellent and hilarious post, Atlatl Robb. I appreciate the level of detail you went into, and shocker it just makes sense.
Great article! Much appreciation coach. A good analogy is, you can call in more and more firetrucks, or you can STOP. I was going to applaud you for revisiting your own theories and past recommendations when new or more precise scientific evidence comes to light, but it looks like lots of folks already beat me to it. Let your conscience rest: having recommended large amounts of fish oil is NOT the same as, say, telling people margarines made from partially hydrogenated soybean oil are better for the heart than good old-fashioned butter.
Awesome post. When I help people to prioritize how to choose foods in a Paleo framework, after 1. Eat whole foods I place at 2. Avoid seed oils. Maybe like 5… ;o. Dude, you just broke my heart. I eat nuts sparingly every day. Walnuts, Mac nuts, pecans, almonds. Kevin, would you rather eat more MEAT? Macas are best as they only have.
Limit your intake to only macas and then other nuts once in a blue moon. So here is my question: is it easily possible to overdo omega6s with olive oil? I know the post was on Fish Oil and this was a side note at best, but I loved seeing this.
I wish more people would learn to listen to their bodies instead of trying to find the one size fits all golden-macro-ratio like the Zone prescribes! When I worked for Crossfit it was like trying to follow religious doctrine. Just became your new best fan after reading your fish oil theory adjustment. Good for you for staying receptive to change. Shows your brilliance and competency. Nuts and seed oils have an easily detectable impact on that simple assessment.
They use additional seed oils to roast the almonds, and make the flavorings stick. All this is to say, if you eat a lot of fish more than 3 or 4 days a week , you might be getting enough fish oil from your diet. There are various reasons to take fish oil.
Some take it to improve their cardiovascular health, others to improve their joint health, and others still to improve their attention and concentration.
According to various clinical studies, here are the amounts of fish oil you should consider taking depending on your needs:. Heart Health: — 4, mg 0. To improve concentration and focus: , mg 0.

So I agree that fish oil supplementation should be moderate; there is no firm evidence yet that it can reduce. CHD in healthy people, only in patients. It's associated with mood improvements in depressed individuals. There's no evidence for improved muscle recovery in humans that I've found. I take about a teaspoon a day. The chronic or "whole body" inflammation is something we want to be low all the time. Acute inflammation related to histamine release in stressed tissues is a different process altogether.
The quality of food in a diet seems to be a pretty big factor in how one's body will respond to everything from sun exposure to PUFAs probably. I'd ditto that. Systemic inflammation can be very serious and can result in organ failure. Usually inflammation. Please review our Privacy Policy at Privacy Policy before using the forums.
