First a few things. Some of you have been asking about side effects of fish oil supplements. Tom answered some of your questions in the comment section. The reason we take fish oil is to counterbalance the omega-6 acids in our system. For most people the daily dose of fish oil will do the job. There are claims out there that excessive omega-3s can cause blood thinning or liver complications. I put up this article from Mark's Daily Apple to show that as long as you are eating a diet low in sugars and carbohydrates, and do not abuse fish oil supplements, then you have nothing to worry about. In the short, eat clean, take your supplements, and you have nothing to worry about.
Some of you have also been asking about burp-less fish oil. Most fish-oils now a days have formulas that do not produce "fish-burps" or any fishy smells. It also helps, especially in the summer when it's warmer, to keep your fish oil in the refrigerator.

Just one more clarification. For the challenge, Tom is allowing the Steve's Club Paleo snacks that are in the gym. Both the bars and the cereal do have honey, (which is not allowed otherwise), but Tom is allowing it because it is controlled and consistent across the board. For most people, trying to find Paleo snacks is one of the hardest parts. In the next few day I put up a post with some snack options. If anyone has found any snacks that work for them, feel free to post them as well.
