Flax seed oil???

[dpc171]

I just added flax seed oil into my diet. How well does this stuff work at decreasing excess bodyfat. My diet is already pretty decent but need to work on cutting my body fat down a few more percent. I am currently around 16-17% bf 5 11 220 lbs.

EFAs are required to help you movilize fat. A good starting point is to keep your fat intake (GOOD fat) at about 20-30% of your daily caloric intake (1 gram fat = 9 cals).

I have always had them in my diet, so cannot really compare against not having them, but it feels much better than those fad diets with no fat in them...

Thanks man... useful info. Hopefully this gives me a little edge now that im cutting down.

Is an Omega (3,6,9) blend just as efficient for fat burning as straight Flax?

Right now I have 50% fats coming from flax and the rest coming from Walnut oil and whatever fat is incluided in the chicken breasts... so to a point I do mix them a bit

Is an Omega (3,6,9) blend just as efficient for fat burning as straight Flax?

edit: sorry i put up wrong info,I was thinking of olive oil.

...and is this more effective for fat burning.....or is Flax on its own best for this purpose?
