Fuel Up Week 6!
We’re going to continue the fat challenge this week… last week we included a thumb-sized serving of fat three times daily. But what about the types of fats you’re getting? You had a chart to refer to last week, which showed you which fats to eat and which to avoid, but what you may not know, is that most of us have a significant imbalance of Omega 3 fats to Omega 6 and 9. That’s because Omega 6’s and 9’s are easy to come by in our diet, but it’s pretty rare than we get in just as many omega 3s. The best sources of omega 3s are found in certain types of fish.
Your goal this week is to eat a serving of one of these great food sources of omega 3s! Just one serving all week?! Is this enough to fix out our omega imbalance? Nope. So, unless you manage to get in these food sources of omega 3s every day, then your OTHER goal this week is to purchase a quality Omega 3 fish oil supplement and start taking it! How much do you need? Well, that is totally dependent on the amount of omega 6 you get in your diet. Starting with the recommendation on your bottle could be a good place to start… at least one gram of omega 3 daily is better than none!
