First and foremost, successful dieting requires the ingestion
of all 50 of the essential nutrients. The essential nutrient with
the largest daily requirement is linoleic acid which is found in
emu oil.

These nutrients plus adequate calories required for the resting
metabolic rate are the foundation for a weight reduction program.

It is important to understand what factors influence our metabolic
rate. Eating a fat may not seem sensible if a person seeks to
lose weight, but again, of the approximately 50 nutrients which
must be consumed, linoleic acid (found in emu oil) has the highest
daily requirement.

While the essential fatty acids contain all the calories of other fats,
they are only used for energy when they are taken in excess,
otherwise, they are very metabolically active. They stimulate
metabolism, increase metabolic rate and oxidation, and thereby
increase the rate of consumption of fats and glucose.

When essential fats are 12 to 15% of the total calories they help
a person to lose weight and stay slim. Essential fats are used for
structural, hormonal and electrical functions, not for energy.
Hence, essential fats actually help in weight control.
