An excess of body fat is one the biggest public health concerns in world, due to its relationship with emergence other problems. Evidence suggests that supplementation long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3) promotes increased lipolysis and reduction mass. Likewise, this clinical trial aimed evaluate effects krill oil on waist circumference sagittal abdominal diameter overweight women. This pilot, balanced, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out 26 women between 20 59 years old, a mass index >25 kg/m2. The participants were divided into control (CG) (n = 15, 3 g/daily mineral oil) (GK) 16, groups, received for eight weeks. Food intake variables obtained using 24 h food recall. Anthropometric measurements (body mass, index, circumference, diameter) handgrip strength obtained. After intervention, no changes found anthropometric (p > 0.05). Regarding intake, differences carbohydrate 0.040) 0.006) acids, group an increase oil. In conclusion, did not reduce diameter. Therefore, more long-term studies larger sample size are necessary possible benefits
