Why People Are Skinny Fat (and How to Fix It)
Learn what causes “skinny fatness” and how to fix it.
Read MoreWhen it comes to dieting, one of the best means of getting a healthy amount of these fats while also loading up on proteins is by eating fish. Lots and lots of delicious fish.
I figured the best way to help you incorporate more wonderful, fatty fish into your diet was to provide you with some excellent recipes from around the web.
Salmon is guaranteed to make more than one appearance on this list, thanks to its fantastic supply of nutrients. This flavorful (and potentially very spicy, depending on how you handle your red peppers) fish dish will provide you with 13 grams of fat, an incredible 32 grams of protein, and 871 milligrams of potassium.

When you’re taking your first break from the wonders of salmon, halibut will do just fine as an alternative. This recipe makes it clear that any fish will do for this dish however.

For some lighter fare, this seafood salad is exactly what I look for when I go to restaurants that are heavy in the pasta-seafood platters. Though, I’m rarely fortunate to find one that combines shrimp and scallops with wondrous avocado.
You’re looking at a cool 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of fiber, and 32 grams of protein.

My first ever tuna steak was a revelation. Since then, I’d say I’ve eaten quite a few more, and never felt guilty after a meal. And let me tell you, pistachios should be coupled with fish more often.
Per serving this recipe has 7 grams of total fat, 29 grams of protein, and only 241 calories.

Because of how flexible this recipe is on the type of fish you use, I’ll go ahead and recommend salmon. You may be able to tell, I love salmon. However, the recipe says cod, red snapper, trout, or halibut would also be perfectly suitable.
Each serving will net you 29.7 grams of protein, anywhere from 1.1 gram to 13 grams of fat (depending on your fish), and only 142 calories.

What better way to bring out the awesome flavor of salmon than to combine it with the strong, unique flavors of bourbon?

From the seas also comes mackerel, another rather fatty, heart healthy fish that promises its own taste and texture, as well as a bounty of omega-3s and other nutrients.
There’s 23 grams of fat per serving in this dish, combined with 30 grams of protein and 730 milligrams of potassium.

There’s something about tacos that keeps me coming back to them time and time again, trying to find other variations on them that will surely be delicious and nutritious.
Depending on whether you use mahi mahi or another variety of fish, your fat content may change. As the recipe stands, you’re looking at 6 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein, only 235 calories, and a bonus 75 milligrams of calcium per serving.

This one really knocks it out of the park when it comes to nutritional value, and fancy recipe names.

What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?
What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

Great ingredients aren't enough to make a great product—you also need correct doses.
That’s why we use the exact doses of every ingredient that have safely produced the desired benefits in peer-reviewed studies.
Where your supplements are made matters, because rules and regulations regarding quality and purity differ from country to country.
And if you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
We pay a premium to work with the best manufacturers in the country, but it’s the only way we can also produce the best all-natural sports supplements.
Did you know that studies have shown that many supplements contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
Not ours.
Every ingredient of every supplement we produce is tested for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants to ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health and that more research is needed.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
Unlike some supplement companies, we don’t sell dubious white labeled or off-the-shelf formulations.
Instead, our custom and unique formulations are the result of extensive reviews of the scientific literature to discover the most effective ingredients for each.
