Hey Guys,
I've heard that taking flax oil and fiber supplements at the same time is not a good idea as the fiber will prevent the fat from getting in my body.
Then I thought - well, if that's the case, why aren't people selling fiber as a fat loss supplement (to all those people who believe that taking fat out of your diet is the key - we all know that's bullshit - it's calories and insulin levels). Chitosan is a marine fiber that is sold for this very pupose (preventing fat from being metabolized).
I only ask as I am having a hard time figuring out where to supplement fiber in my diet. I eat salads etc., but I want that extra fiber from the supplements as it really helps me feel healthy.
Taking it with my shake in the morning (where I'm taking flax, protien, and my normal arsenal of supps) would be ideal, but I'm worried about losing the benefit of the flax oil...
As a final note - I could imagine how it could affect fat soluble vitamins, as their amounts are so minute, but will it affect abundant amounts of flax? If there really is this affect, I imagine there would be some formula that shows how much fat each gram of fiber would affect...
Any thouhgts on this one?
Thanks!
Roger
