Can omega-9 (oleic acid) actually help you lose weight?
According to THIP Media, omega-9 monounsaturated fats (especially oleic acid) improve insulin sensitivity and reduce LDL cholesterol, but since they're calorie-packed, their overconsumption may trigger weight gain. According to certified dietitian Garima Dev Verman, their metabolic benefits don't automatically translate into fat loss unless total caloric intake remains controlled.
