Flaxseed Oil

[BrickGirl]

Can girls also take this for fat? and would 3 tbls a day divided 3 times be the right amout for a 140lb girl?


Thanks!

 

[Phemomena]

yes, and it sounds okay, but it would depend on what other fats are in your diet...

 

[BrickGirl]

Excellent Thanks

Udo's is the ultimate oil... quality, taste... great on chic, fish, eggs, oatmeal,salads, in pro shake... be sure not to heat it & destroy it's excellent qualitites. Udo recommends 1 T per 50 lbs bodyweight...others recommend 1 T per 75 lbs bodyweight.

flex4life -

I am taking flaxseed oil right now - how is Dr Udo's different?

Also is 1 T = 1 tablespoon or teaspoon?

Thanks!

Flax or some type of Omega 3 oil should be on everyone's supplement list. And I mean everyone, not just health and fitness nuts like us. The benefits are too numerous to mention, but it helps with the following:

1) metabolism
2) joint health
3) brain function/anti-depressant
4) hair, skin & nails
5) heart health/cholesterol
6) appetite suppressant

Just remember, it does have calories, so count it in your fats category.

Thanks spatterson - my brain combined your post into flex4life's so I forgot that you were the one who brought up Udo's Choice. I just read about it on the Net and I'm going to buy it instead of my usual flaxseed oil.

Thanks for the tip!!

sorry, 1T= 1 tablespoon
Spat already delivered the info on Udo there for ya'...
big time difference in hair & skin, also gets rid of the cravings... and decreased creaking in my knee during squats.

Let me know if you see improvement in your skin and hair right off the bat like I did.

spatterson - I'll be sure to let you know! I'm moving to the US this weekend so I'll probably buy my first bottle on Monday - can't wait!

Moving to the Boston area with Happy Scrappy!

might have to get the stuff online - I've looked around here and have had trouble finding it - the one place I haven't checked is Trader Joe's - even bread and circus didn't have it when I checked, and they have everything.

Wow, those benefits sound GREAT! I will definitely be getting some! My skin is crap (& my diet hasn't been *that* bad for the past year!) & I could really use help with cravings. Balancing moods sounds quite appealing too!

Quick Ques though:

If I eat salmon once a week, would I *not* have the Udo's on that day? Or just eat it every day?

 

[KBgrl]

just wanted to say hello

i take a tablespoon once a day. i throw it in my protein shake. i also TRY to eat salmon 3 times a week.

Udo's Choice is a great product however, i would probably advise most people to consume a straight Flax Oil blend first. Reason being, most studies show that people get WAY to much omega 6 and 9 fatty acids compared to that of the omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids like Flax. Therefore, if one were totally void of all fats, then YES, Udo's would be a good choice. However, most people do not keep track of their fat sources, thus they usually lack the polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids, which flax oil is the best source.
