Does The Omega 3 Fish Oil Help Lose Weight?
I'm a 53 yr old female with high blood pressure and high LDL and cholesterol .... right now I am taking Tribenzor for blood pressure... and my dr. has ordered something today for the cholesterol and suggested I start taking 4000 mg daily of fish oil and lose weight. Does the Omega 3 fish oil help lose weight or stops you from losing weight?

Hi I read your query very carefully.
The omega 3 fish oil has effects only in reducing cholesterol level and has nothing to do with losing weigh.
I recommend for losing diet a healthy lifestyle with a Mediterranean diet and a lot of sports.
Hope it answered to your query!
