Plantris Joined: 01/06/10 Posts: 9	Fish Oil Posted Friday, January 15, 2010 at 10:31 AM I've been doing great on this program however I just realized that that I've been eating fish oil supplements 2 x's a day in my doctor prescribed vitamen packs. What is an appropriate alternative? Also, could these oil supplements contribute to weight gain? Need advice. Thanks all.

Susan Levin had some very helpful information that she's posted a couple of different times, but it may no longer be on the front page. The search should pull it up for you easily. Also, under Resources clicking FAQ will take you to the plan's fact page on Essential Fatty Acids, which contains additional info. Here is that link: http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/essential_fatty_acids.html

So 2xdayx365= 7300 calories/year or about 2.1 pounds/year. Calorie wise, omega 3 replacers will (necessarily) have oil (and calories) in them as well. One of the nice things about this program is that you will reduce your omega 6 intake and thus you will need less added omega 3 to achieve an optimum ratio.
