How Important Is Flax Oil?

[Big Johnson]

I'VE NEVER USED FLAX. I FOLLOW A LOW CARB DIET AND GET MOST OF MY FATS FROM CHEESE, EGGS, AND MEATS. I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT LATELY ABOUT FLAX OIL IN A KETO DIET. ANYONE STARTED FLAX RECENTLY AND SEEN GOOD RESULTS?

 

[Rockaho]

Yes. I have recently started supplementing with flax and belive it to be doing me good. However, It's only been about a week so it might be all in my head.

I started taking it about 3 months ago and I like it, I mix a tablespoon in each p. shake and it really fills me up.

would organic flax oil PILLS work as well as the liquid???

each softgel is 1000 mg so how much would i need to take????

(seems like i'd have to increase the dose)

pleeeze help a girlie out. i think i may be starting to sound like a broken record over here. heehe thanks in advance for some info i could reaaaallly use.

Hey again sweets,

I think the best bang for your buck is with the liquid. I may be wrong but I know a big bottle of caps weighs a lot less than a small bottle of liquid. I don't know how they could make concentrated fat. But as long as you take the same amount in grams there should be no diffrence in results.

i'll be popping pills like a mad woman. the bottle's already bought (and opened). happy pills to me.

HEMP OIL IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD TOO

I just started but I think I notice a difference in my carb craving but I am not sure if it is that or not. I also have a bit more energy, less sluggish. I have some pills also but I mainly got the pills because they had borage oil and evening primrose oil, both high in GLA - and make your hair and nails real pretty

a little hottie at my health food store gave me a bottle of flax. ahhh... some days are just sweeter than others. well, i mixed 1 tbsp into my protein shake today. not bad. doesn't taste at all, really. but then again, my new shakes are the bomb diggidy, just like my bars. yummm. so i guess i'll start off with 2/day. i hope i get to see some progress soon. i'll k.i.t.

p.s. so magda, should i take the pills as well. i love pretty hair and nails. it's too obvious us girls just loooove to feel beautiful... and did i mention pampered.

sweets, I don't see why not! I got mine from Sundown. it is called Flax Oil Xtra. Keep it in the refrigerator though for best results. I make lotion and soap and I have found evening primrose oil has a very short shelf life. That will keep it longer.

by the way, I should mention the pills are the size of a small horse. At least they are coated.

I use flax when I am dieting for a competition. Even though it is a fat it will help you get lean, kind of like CLA. It is also proven to boost your immune system. I like to use it on salads instead of dressing, on my egg omelets, in oatmeal. Do not cook with it since it is cold pressed it will destroy it's properties.

 

[smallmovesal]

i used to combine it with my salad dressing but it was ruining the taste of my salad. i'm really sensitive to tastes and smells and it makes me gag so i've stopped taking it...

any suggestions?

maybe i'll have to try to like fish

 

[Rockaho]

Try the capsuls.

Flax has help me reduce muscle and joint soreness. this fat lubricates your system. I take liquid , but I have the capsules in case I eat out.
