Supplements: 2,000 mg fish oil (360mg EPA, 240 mg DHA)
2,600 mg flaxseed oil (omega-3 1460 mg, omega-6 312mg, omega-9 286 mg), 1-2 tablespoons ground flax.

I don't know about balance either- it seems this may be too much? (I am a big lady!)

Diet: no pork or beef, fish 1-2 x week, chicken or vegetarian 3-4x week, olive oil for cooking except peanut oil when I make stir fry, Earth Balance Omega-3 enriched spread (non-gmo, non-hydrogenated organic oil blend-palm fruit, soybean, flax, canola and olive), dessert once a week (Laurie- you can do it too, it took me awhile to wrap around the concept, the less I eat it, the less I want it), dark chocolate 1oz., lots of fruit, veggies, no processed foods (except Wheat Thins- can't seem to find a substitute here), not many potato dishes, no fried foods, brown rice pasta (it's good!), whole wheat bread and tortillas.

I also hike 5 hours a week and lift weights. I am needing to drop a considerable amount of weight- and it is daunting. I have been VERY good for three weeks and managed to lose 5 pounds. This is going to be tough. Since I started behaving diet-wise three weeks ago- my fatigue has vanished. Coincidence?
