Experimental Fat Loss
Got severe sunburn from a few hours of mild sun exposure 2 days after ending the experiment - hadn’t gotten any sunburn all last year!
I recently read & reviewed the book Omega Balance. It makes the point that avoiding linoleic acid (omega-6 PUFA) is important, but eating lots of omega-3 PUFA (EPA/DHA) is just as important, and that it’s really the balance of these in the cell membranes that makes all the difference.
The biggest source of omega-3 fatty acids is fatty fish like salmon. Since farmed salmon is much higher in overall fat, and salmon just put on the soybean crap they’re fed in salmon farms as body fat, their omega balance is actually pretty bad.
So I obviously decided to only eat wild-caught Alaskan salmon. Almost all of the salmon was sockeye, except for 2 pieces of keta or coho salmon (I forget).
My main source was the Whole Foods 365 wild-caught Alaskan frozen sockeye salmon. A few times I got similar wild-caught Alaskan sockeye from different stores but I’d say about 20-25 out of the 30 days I ate that one.
