I know diet pills are one of the worst things you can do to your body.  What about supplements such as fish oil?  I had not thought about it until I read an article a minute ago.  “Speed up your Metabolism” click the link to read the entire article.  Most of the article was good, except for saying caffeine is good for you.  I know it is always best to find the original study to make you own judgement.  Numbers can lie when taken out of context and misrepresented.  Anyway just wanted to get some opinions and more input.

This is what it had to say about fish oil.

Pop pills: Combining regular exercise with fish-oil supplements increases the activity of your fat-burning enzymes, reports a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Volunteers took six grams of fish oil daily and worked out three times a week. After 12 weeks, they’d lost an average of 3.4 pounds, while those who exercised exclusively saw minimal shrinkage. Look for brands containing at least 300 milligrams of the fatty acid EPA and 200 milligrams of the fatty acid DHA per capsule. Pop two of these two hours before your workout.
