It takes a good while to reduce current high omega 6 levels and increase the omega 3 levels but if you want to improve resistance to addictive/compulsive overeating it's essential. It certainly helps people who are prone to self harm and it's not that much of a stretch of the imagination to say knowingly eating foods that you know will wreck your weight loss strategy is tantamount to self harm.
