Flaxseed and Omega 3 capsules

Right, keep the flax in the fridge.

Creatine is fine. However red meat has a high creatine content, so when eating a great deal of meat, I find creatine to be useless. Its a naturally occuring substance that has never been shown to have adverse effects in research.

The Flax oil was in the cooler at the store when I got it. I totally forgot about the hemp oil. As far as the taste goes, to look good, I will do anything! I am going to tell my husband that Creatine is not really known to do that much.
As far as the Flax oil goes, 2 tbs once a day, or twice? Thanks again!

1 tbs twice a day will work best. If you want to take a 3rd, it will not harm you in any way.

How much red meat do you need to replace an creatine monohydrate ?

1-2 lbs of steak a day should take care of it. This will also reduce any need for glutamine peptides.

That's enough to make the powder less expensive (though red meat offer other benefits)

Calculate in what you are paying for 10-20 grams of glutamine pepties as well, if you use those.

Let's get back to the original question. Will Flax oil make her loose weight. The answer to that is no. Diet and exercise are best for that. Although I am going to try hemp seed oil ..... Along with my current D&E.

Ok, I am excercising also. I go to the gym 6 days a week. I am just starting out keep in mind, I've been doing this for about 8 weeks. I do machines Monday, Wednesday and Friday for an hour doing the circuit training as per my doctor, 12 reps on each machine 3 times. Then I do 1/2 hour cardio. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I do 1 hour cardio on the tread mill. I have a torn medial miniscus in my right knee and a torn MCL, slightly torn LCL, and waiting on the MRI to see if I have a torn ACL, which the physical therapist seems to think I do. So I am limited as to what I can do, but I think and feel like I am doing one hell of a job, for being over weight and not excercising in over a year. I am looking for natural methods to help the process. I have already lost 18 pounds in 2 months, so I am doing well, as far as the excercising goes. As far as diet goes, I do not touch sweets or potato chips which was my downfall before. I eat a bowl of low fat low sugar high fiber cereal in the A.m., a salad at lunch, my main meal at around 5 which=a chicken breast and peas, and then an apple around 8. I am having a hard time doing the 6 meals a day thing. And today I had my first protein shake, trying to get the extrea meal in that, and it was disgusting. The flax oil is nasty to, but I can deal with that. I pretend it is a shot, and picture the people on Fear Factor. So anyway, just looking for things to speed up my metabolism and burn fat. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help and input!

Sounds like you're in a pretty good exercise routine. Diet looks a bit weak though.

Flax = Fear Factor LOL! I haven't tried it other than capsules. I have some hemp seed oil on the way so I'll add my review on it. Exercise and diet at the best ways to pump up your metabolism. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism is. I wouldn't start messing with fat-burners. I don't use many suppliments so I really can't comment much on them either. You've probably heard this a million time but there really is no quick-fix.

Something I would suggest is maybe not using a tredmill for your cardio. You mentioned you have some knee issues so something like an elliptical machine may be better suited for you. How has your progress been in the 8 weeks of your program?
