Many people who are overweight suffer from poor blood sugar control, diabetes and high cholesterol. Studies suggest that overweight people who follow a weight loss program including exercise tend to achieve better control over their blood sugar and cholesterol level when fish rich in Omega 3 (such as salmon, mackerel, and sardine) is a staple in their low fat diet. Therefore, intake of Omega 3 will not affect weight control but in turn it helps reduce weight.
