Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the substitution of fish oil for visible fats in a control diet (52% carbohydrates, 16% protein, 32% fat; P:S 0.2) influences body fat mass and substrate oxidation in healthy adults.
DESIGN: Six volunteers (5 men; 23 +/- 2 y; BMI: 21.9 +/- 1.6) were fed a control diet (C) ad libitum during a period of three weeks and, 10-12 weeks later, the same diet where 6 g/d of visible fat were replaced by 6 g/d of fish oil (FO) for another three weeks.
RESULTS: Energy intakes (IKA-calorimeter) were unchanged. Body fat mass (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) decreased with FO (-0.88 +/- 0.16 vs -0.3 +/- 0.34 kg; FO vs C; P < 0.05). When adjusted for lean body mass (Ancova), resting metabolic rate (indirect calorimetry) was unchanged. Basal respiratory quotient decreased with FO (0.815 +/- 0.02 vs 0.834 +/- 0.02; P < 0.05) and basal lipid oxidation increased with FO (1.06 +/- 0.17 vs 0.87 +/- 0.13 mg kg(-1) min(-1); P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Dietary FO reduces body fat mass and stimulates lipid oxidation in healthy adults.

Fish oil not only helsp you burn more fat, but it also helps you build muscle at the same time. Definitely one of the best anti-aging, anti-obesity supplemensts you can take :)
