Fat Burners from Fat

By Cliff Sheats

Healthy Fats

From years of helping people get lean, I have found that in addition to cleaning up their diet and working out consistently, the fastest results come when people are using certain supplements in specific dosages. You know that lipotropics like Parrillo Advanced Lipotropic Formula^™ can help you utilize stored fat for energy, but did you also know that certain fat supplements have a
lipotropic benefit?

Let me introduce you to a few nutrients that can be of some help, but understand that taking them alone is probably a waste of time and money. When combined with the Parrillo Nutrition Program these supplements may enhance fat loss, allowing you to shed even more fat.

Fish Oil

Found in fattier fish like salmon, herring and pollack, fish oils contain omega-3 fatty acids. These beneficial fats encourage the receptor sites on muscle cells to increase insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to release less insulin. In turn, fat storage tends to be limited, and insulin performs its intended job: channeling carbohydrates and amino acids into muscle tissue. Try Parrillo Fish Oil DHA 800 EPA 200^™ and take one capsule with meals.

Evening Primrose Oil

Found in evening primrose oil is the fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which promotes the formation of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. These substances have been found to
improve insulin sensitivity, meaning that insulin is used correctly by muscle cells and won’t be utilized for fat storage. GLA can also increase the activity of “brown fat,” a type of fat on the body that is involved in increasing metabolism. Each 1000 mg gel cap of Parrillo Evening Primrose Oil^™ contains 30 iu’s of vitamin E, 100 mg of Gamma Linolenic Acid and 760 mg of Linoleic Acid. Take one to three capsules daily.

CapTri^®

I call CapTri^® the “King of Fat-Burners.” CapTri^® is a special kind of fat called a medium chain triglyceride. CapTri^® harnesses the energy density of fat but is not stored as body fat. The molecular structure of CapTri^® results in it being metabolized differently than conventional fats. Instead of being transported to fat depots like regular fats, the calories from CapTri^® also provide the energy you need to keep training hard. Also, by substituting CapTri^® for an equivalent number of calories from carbohydrates you avoid the slow-down in metabolic rate which inevitably results from calorie-restricted diets. Take one tablespoon with each meal; up to six tablespoons per day. Consult the Parrillo CapTri^® Manual for more detailed usage guidelines.

Remember that these fat-based fat burners aren’t magic bullets; they work best only if combined with the proper exercise and nutrition.
