Fat Facts - Good Fats vs Bad Fats
Trying to make sense of all the information about the good fats and the bad fats is extremely difficult. Conflicting advice is everywhere, and you're stuck in the middle. You wonder whether anyone out there really knows what they're talking about, or whether the 'experts' will ever agree on anything. So if you're confused about fat, or you just want to know more about how the good fats can help you build a fitter, healthier body, then read on.
Good fats are vital for fat loss and good health
When we talk about healthy fats or good fats, we usually refer to unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocados, salmon or flaxseed, but probably the most talked-about good fats are the long-chain omega-3s found in fish oil. Studies show that the omega- 3 fatty acids in fish help your body function well in many areas that are vital to health and fat loss. Deep-coloured cold-water fish such as salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines are especially rich in omega-3s.

Although some prefer to use flax instead of fish, studies show that the long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA) such as those found in Finesse Omega are superior to the short-chain omega-3s found in flaxseed oil and various other 'essential oil blends'. To add more healthy fats to your diet, drizzle olive oil over your favourite salad. Lightly grill a salmon fillet and have it for dinner along with some mixed vegetables and new potatoes, or sprinkle some freshly ground flaxseed on your breakfast cereal.
You can also use Finesse Omega, which contains a precise blend of several good fats. Along with ultra-pure fish oil, Finesse Omega is fortified with essential omega-6 fatty acids from Borage oil, which has the highest GLA content (22% GLA) of any available oil, including Evening Primrose Oil.
What's CLA?
There's another type of good fat that can play a vital role in supporting your weight loss goals. Definity CLA is a natural healthy fat found in meats and dairy products. With grain replacing grass feeding of livestock, the CLA content of most meat and dairy products has dropped over the last few decades. That's why it's a good idea to add extra CLA to your diet.
Research shows that CLA can help tone your muscles while simultaneously promoting fat loss. Studies on CLA reveal that it speeds up fat loss by decreasing the amount of fat that ends up being stored in your body and boosting your metabolic rate.
What's the difference between Definity CLA and Finesse Omega - and which one should I use?
Both Definity CLA and Finesse Omega play an important role in supporting your weight management goals. So you could use both products at the same time to really optimise your results. Some people also like to alternate between products and use Finesse Omega for 30 days, for example before switching to Definity CLA.
The main difference between the products is that the omega-3 fats in Finesse Omega are classed as 'essential fatty acids'. In other words, you need to get them from your diet. Definity CLA, on the other hand, is not an essential fat. So if you're on a low-fat diet and you don't eat high-fat, cold water fish on a regular basis, then Finesse Omega is the one to go for.
But if you're already eating a lot of fish, or you're confident that you're getting plenty of essential fats on your diet, then you don't need Finesse Omega. In this case, Definity CLA would be the better choice. Trying to get large amounts of CLA from your diet is not really an option - you'd need to eat several pounds of meat each day to get enough CLA for it to work. That's why taking a separate product, such as Definity CLA is the best way to boost your daily CLA intake.
