Well, I say new, but actually the premise behind the Sardine Diet, which is to eat large quantities of foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, is not a new concept to those of us who have tried almost everything to lose some weight.<\/p>\n<p>Basically the diet goes about giving you recipes that use sardines &#8211; those small, oily, stinky little fish neatly packed in a metal box that for some reason always make their way to the hors d&#8217;oeuvres platters at special occasions along with their nasty little companions, smoked oysters. That&#8217;s right, I bet most special occassion closet sardine lovers didn&#8217;t know that the squishy little fish they love to delicately eat from a cracker may actually be undoing some of the weight gain from a night of merry-making.<\/p>\n<p>But why sardines? Well, as it happens the Sardine Diet doesn&#8217;t endorse all sardines, but Nordic brisling sardines, which contain among the lowest levels of mercury in seafood, while offering the most concentrated source of Omega-3 fatty acids. The low levels of mercury are particularly important if you are going to be eating these mouthwatering minnows more than a couple of times a week.<\/p>\n<p>What Omega-3 Fatty Acids do for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development<\/li>\n<li>reduce inflammation and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis<\/li>\n<li>reduce health problems such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, thereby lowering the risks of heart disease, diabetes and stroke<\/li>\n<li>increase fat metabolism by reducing insulin levels, resulting in weight loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is the Sardine Diet worth a try? Well, if you like sardines then the Sardine Diet may work well for you. The Sardine Diet provides recipes, along with a complete menu plan that details breakfasts, lunches, dinners, two daily snacks, and special dessert treats (I really hope the dessert treats don&#8217;t include sardines too. Mmmm, sardine sunday with chocolate sauce anyone? 100 pregnant women just raised their hands). Just make sure you have a dollar left over after buying the diet book to buy some strong mints, cause there will definitely be something fishy about your breath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I almost fell off of my oversized office chair the other day when I saw the &#8220;Sardine Diet&#8221; as a new weight loss option.
