[Fit Freak]

Ok, ive just got me some Flax seed oil. Any suggestions on how to use it, how much and so on?

Thanks

I usually use it to replace olive oil in vinegar & oil dressing on my salads. How much = how much fat do you neeed in your diet - I think its usually around 140 cal, 14g fat / tblsp -- check your label. I usually do 1-2 tbsp of it for my salad dressing.

To track how much fat you are putting or want in your diet, you can use Fitday.com.

i was curious myself.
I have never used flax seed,
but realize how important it is to take it.

I like Flax Seed oil on a salad, cuz to me it has a "fishy" taste -- so on a salad or in tuna fish I don't notice it as much...... Plus I put it in a Chocolate Protein shake, cuz the chocolate hides the taste....

To round out, I also enjoy using: Extra Virgin & Regular Olive Oil, Walnut Oil, & Grapeseed Oil.

Yes, there is little doubt that fish oil is vastly superior to flaxseed oil as a source of EPA and DHA which are the essential fatty acids. Flaxseed oil converts to these at a very low rate. It's the EPA and DHA that directly impact on ability to burn fat.

Pour some on a spoon and gulp it down. Get it over with as fast as you can.

1 second of grossness is better than 50 bites of nastiness.
