    I read in a fitness magazine that taking fish oil pills promotes weight loss...I'm just wondering if it is true??? has anyone tried it??

    There's a lot on the web about this. Google it.

    To those who are talking about the fish oil pills causing gross burps...here is a fish oil supplement that's actually really tasty and so far hasn't caused me to burp at all (granted even if it did cause burps they won't be gross and fishy):

    My husband bought a container of the pina colada flavored oil from the gym we go to and it tastes exactly like a pina colada. I don't know how pricey the fish oil pills are, but I imagine that the barleans products are a bit more expensive. If you can afford it though and want to take fish oil regularly I highly recommend it!

    I take them everyday and never get the burps. It depends on what brand you taking, try shopping around for a different brand. :wink:

    I just read earlier today that the better the quality the less likely the fish burps. You can freeze them and take them at night. Freezing acts like a time release. I am taking them for my cholesterol. I have the GNC brand and they seem to be fine, no fish burps.

    You can also get omega 3s by actually eating fish, dark greens, adding some flaxseed into various foods etc. I know the actual oil or oil pills makes a lot of people gag.
