How to obtain Omega 3's ?

[gail f]

Hello,
I have just begun the McDougall diet because of very high cholesterol #'s. I understand that I should not eat any oils, including avocados, nuts and seeds, etc. I usually take an Omega 3 supplement which is oil based. Now, because of the oil and seed restriction of the diet I am wondering what i can do to maintain my levels.

(I believe in taking O'3 for mental health, and other benefits.)

Any advice would be appreciated. Gail

Hi Gail

Congratulations on starting the McDougall diet.

I think you would benefit immensely from reading the following recent thread on fats, oils, and omega 3s.
