I tried the Shangri-La plan as a suppliment to my current diet/exercise/suppliment plan. However, I noticed after a week that I was anticipating the taste (rather than say, the texture) of the canola oil. Which means that it was no longer registering as flavorless, so I stopped.
I might try it again with another product, but I know that sugar water registers a taste with me: probably due to drinking a lot of sugar water as a kid.
I use Omega three capsules---lots of them. Definitely can't taste those. I haven't kept data on how well it works.
Be careful with mega dosing fish oil. It has blood thinning effects.
I've heard that you don't need too much O-3 so long as you don't have a high amount of O-6 in your diet.
Also, there's some evidence that excess O-3 is bad (e.g. enhancing blood supply to tumors).
(though for all I know, you're in the roughly-optimal intake region)
Hm. I'd have to consider that. I already take a large number of suppliments throughout the day, however, and I think that adding more capsules might increase my akrasia regarding the things I do that already work for me.
You would prefer to spoon down canola oil than swallow Omega three capsules? I tried drinking vegetable oil and it was mildly unpleasant. (Not that such tasks being unpleasant always stops me. I chew down all sorts of powders at various times as part of my supplement routines. Some are vile.)
It was unpleasant, but only mildly. I put up with worse on a regular basis.
It comes down to me thinking "I am already taking lots and lots of pills every day: screw it, no pills today." Which is not a GOOD mindset, and I value my current suppliments more than I do adding the Omega-3 capsules, in the absense of data that tells me that I should reverse that.
