Does omega 3 fatty acids cause weight gain?

I used to worry about this too because we hear 'fatty acids' and think we will get fat. But in my experience, switching to natural sources like flaxseeds actually helped my digestion. It's all about natural balance, don't worry about minor capsule calories.

Be careful with supplements. I self-prescribed high doses of Omega 3 fish oil and suffered from bad stomach upsets and mild weight gain because I was overeating other things too. Please let a doctor decide if you really need the supplement and what dosage is right.

Omg, I totally panicked when my weight went up by half a kilo after starting Omega 3! But my dietician explained it's just normal body fluctuation and the supplement itself has very few calories. Now I've been taking it for months with zero issues, so relax!

Instead of blindly buying expensive Omega 3 capsules thinking they make you gain or lose weight, get a basic blood panel done. A lipid profile and thyroid test cost around 800 rupees in most local labs. That will show you if your weight issues are coming from somewhere else.

Actually no, yaar. Omega 3 is a good fat, and it doesn't make you gain weight unless you are eating junk side-by-side. It actually helps with metabolism and inflammation. So chill, it's totally safe to take.
