Are you suffering from Weight Stalls?  Indigestion?  There is a high chance that it migh be because of your consumption of high fat meats.  High fat meats contain a substance called arachidonic acid.  Arachidonic Acid is a very dangerous substance in high quanities.

Warning:   Lab animals injected with large amounts of all other fatty acids go on about their business with no apparent ill effects--those injected with arachidonic acid are dead within moments.

Arachidonic Acid (AA)
- AA is made in the eicosanoid synthesis pathway and is the immediate precursor of the bad eicosanoids or what we called Prostagladin E2.   High levels of Prostagladin E2  leads  to cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pain and inflammation, and eventually death.

Things to avoid (in high concentrations)

High Fat Animal Meat.    (Excluding Fish).  Fish Oil is good for you.

What I have found out through research, that scientist have found that high quanities of  fish oil will block the over production of Prostagladlin E2.  Omega 3 fatty acids is healthy for the heart.  Fish Oil forms a substance called Prostagladin E3 which is helpful for the heart and digestion.

Scientists have also discovered another item that helps.  It's GLA (Gamma linolenic acid) which is used to form a natural (not synthetic) Prostagladin E1.  Our bodies produce some Prostagladin E1 but sometimes things happen that causes our body not produce enough of this good Prostagladin E1.  It's a good substance that does the following:

*FUNCTIONS OF PROSTAGLANDIN E1 / ALPROSTADIL*

    * Controls the routing of nerve impulses through the nerve paths
      and, at the nerve-path endings, the release of chemical messengers
      for further information relays via the bloodstream.

    * Regulates and coordinates the functioning of the brain

    * Controls and supports the immune system

    * Activates T-lymphocytes, which act as defense cells against
      pathogens that may have invaded the body

    * Reinforces the effect of insulin in the metabolism of sugar

    * Lowers the cholesterol level

    * Stimulates the burning of the fat in the body

    * Helps to remove excessive weight

    * Strengthens the effect of adenosine monophosphate, a substance
      that translates the messages relayed through hormones from the
      exterior wall of the cell to the interior of the cell and is
      responsible for the smooth functioning of the muscles

    * Controls the transport of calcium through the body

    * Stimulates the gastric mucous membrane to help protect the lining
      of the stomach from the aggressive gastric acid

    * Prevents withdrawal symptoms in alcohol-dependent individuals and
      supports regeneration of the liver

    * Counters skin infections

    * Prevents thromboses

    * Helps keep coronary vessels open

    * Stops the formation of blood clots

    * Lowers blood pressure

    * Lessens the release of tissue damaging substances during
      infections of the body

    * Lowers inflammation-producing substances in rheumatic diseases and
      arthritis and promotes healing of such inflammations

    * Protects against arteriosclerosis

    * Controls the activity of female sex hormones and regulates the
      menstrual cycle


You are probably saying - how is this going to help me jumpstart my weight loss?   Take a look at the bold items under Prostagladin E1.   Fat Metabolism, Lowers Blood Pressure,  Lowers Cholesterol etc.  Looks to me that it's pretty explanatory.   Omega 3 Fatty acids are found in Fish and Walnuts.   GLA is found in Evening Primrose,  Borage.   I generally take Borage because it's higher in GLA.

You can try to increase your consumption of  Fish Oil, Walnuts and GLA.
You must also eat leaner cuts of meat.   (Lean cuts of Pork, Beef etc)
Increase Nuts
Low Carb Vegetables

Since Omega 3 and Borage are good for you, I have added supplementation to my diet to make sure that I am getting enough of these wonderful items.  Whenever you are thinking about supplementation of anything, as always discuss your concerns and check with your doctor on why you would like to do this.

Reason being:  Since GLA (From Borage) lowers blood pressure.  Combining the two at the same time (blood pressure medicine plus borage) might lower your blood pressure too much.    He or she can discuss how to implement them into your diet.
