Here’s a great letter we received from a long time customer about her experience with the Atkins diet:

Well, like everyone else, I started my diet – again! You can’t blame a girl for trying. But, I’m following the Atkins diet and so far, so good. I lost 6 lbs. to date and feeling better than ever. I was a real monster during the induction phase, nearly tackling my 10 year old for the pretzels she was eating. Now, I don’t even crave any carbs and I don’t get as hungry. How come it took me 42 years to realize all I needed to do was reduce my carbs and I would feel better, look better and I have more energy? I guess you can teach an ‘old dog’ new tricks.

But, because you consume a lot of saturated fats on a low carb diet, it’s critical that you supplement your diet with essential fatty acids – the ‘good fats’ or Omega 3s. Omega 3 fats decrease inflammation and water retention which is a large part of weight loss that in turn speeds up the removal of water retention in the body. Omega 3 fats also help increase energy production so you can keep up with your New Year’s exercise commitment as well!

I like taking Deep Blue Omega purified marine fish oil. This is the best Omega 3 supplement I found because you can get 2000 mgs of EPA & DHA in just 2 gel capsules per day. These are 2 fatty acids that are responsible for reducing high blood pressure, reduces your risk for heart attack, helps with cardiac arrhythmia and irregular heart beats. Plus, as a natural anti-inflammatory, I feel less aches & pains after my runs. Did I mention I’m also training for a half-marathon?

Let’s make 2009 the year we look back on say, “this is the year I changed my diet and it changed my life.”

The foods that contain the omega-3 essential fatty acids you need are fatty fish such as trout, salmon and mackerel. Other food groups such as walnuts, flaxseed and canola oil are also good sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

However, because of our poor diets, it’s very difficult to eat the right amount of foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids…I mean, who can live on fish and nuts? That’s why it’s important to supplement your diet with a good omega-3 dietary supplement such as Oceanic Naturals Deep Blue Omega – learn more at www.deepblueomega.com. The Deep Blue Omega purified marine fish oil gives you a powerful dose of important pharmaceutical grade omega oils in just 2 softgel daily capsules.

Not only can Omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure, they have also been linked to better brain development and a lower overall risk of cancer and heart disease.

So, pull up a plate of yummy blackened trout or tasty grilled salmon with a delicious dill sauce plus 2 Deep Blue Omega fish oil capsules and be on your way to a healthier, happier you!
