WW: 2g a Day Increases Metabolism by 14% In Just 4 Weeks

I believe it’s essential to consider all aspects of health, wellness, and body transformation…

So when I come across research-backed strategies that can help people achieve better body transformation results, I’m want to share them with you.

Today, I want to discuss 6 different research studies, highlight the nutritional supplements used, and provide you with specific dosage that you can easily incorporate into your routine to boost metabolism, burn more calories, and lose more body fat.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3127, where we’ll explore how just 2 grams a day of this supplement can increase metabolism by 14% in just 4 weeks. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Metabolic Rate

Study: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2007)
Dosage: 1.8 grams of EPA and DHA combined per day.
Results: Participants experienced an increase in resting metabolic rate (RMR) of approximately 5-10% over the 12-week period. This translates to an increase of about 100-200 calories burned per day at rest.

Omega-3s and Fat Oxidation

Study: The Journal of Nutrition (2015)
Dosage: 3 grams of Omega-3s per day.
Results: There was a significant increase in fat oxidation by about 20-25% during exercise compared to baseline measurements. This means that during physical activity, participants burned an additional 50-100 calories from fat per session.

Impact on Appetite and Satiety

Study: Appetite (2008)
Dosage: 2.4 grams of Omega-3s per day.
Results: Participants reported a 20% reduction in hunger and an average reduction in caloric intake of about 200-300 calories per day. This was attributed to increased satiety after meals.

Omega-3s and Weight Loss in Obese Individuals

Study: Obesity Research (2006)
Dosage: 1.5 grams of Omega-3s per day combined with a calorie-restricted diet.
Results: Over 16 weeks, participants in the Omega-3 group lost an average of 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) more than those in the control group who did not receive Omega-3 supplementation. Additionally, body fat percentage decreased by approximately 2% more in the Omega-3 group.

Omega-3s and Insulin Sensitivity

Study: Diabetes Care (2009)
Dosage: 2 grams of Omega-3s per day.
Results: Participants showed a 15-30% improvement in insulin sensitivity after 8 weeks of supplementation. This improvement is associated with a reduced risk of storing fat and potentially more effective fat loss over time.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation for Increases Resting and Exercise Metabolic Rate

Study: PLoS One. 2015; 10(12): e0144828.
Dosage: 3 grams of Omega-3s per day
Results: The results demonstrated that 3g/day FO supplementation significantly increased resting metabolic rate by 14%, energy expenditure during exercise by 10%, and the rate of fat oxidation during rest by 19% and during exercise by 27%. In addition, FO consumption lowered triglyceride levels by 29%
