Question about fish oil

fattiey Posts: 1 Joined: 2005/09/26	2005/09/26, 08:46 AM I started taking a fish oil supplement and have gained 2 pounds in 4 days. Is this normal? I'm watching what and how much I eat and exercising regularly. So my question is, why did I gain that weight? I need to lose 60 pounds, and gaining 2 is very depressing! Thanks for any help.

Although it's a good fat, it's still fat. With that being said two pounds in four days sounds more like water weight to me. How's your sodium consumption?

How much fish oil are you taking? Better to take this and drop some of your refined carbs any day. Fish oil has wonderful health benefits. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
