[Constitutions Grandchild]

I've been taking flax seed. Not the oil. I sprinkle one to two tablespoons over oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, vegetables, sauces, etc. It adds little or no flavor, makes sauces smoother. It comes in 1 lb. bags from Bob's Red Mill or you can go to health food stores that grind their own. It must be refrigerated and consumed within the month.

It made a great deal of difference in how I felt. Subscribing to the fallacy that if two tablespoons is good, four is better resulted in a day or two of an upset tummy - burping, so I cut it back and am doing fine. I'm actually losing weight (Saints be praised), and have dropped one dress size since starting a month ago. Just don't over do it. We also eat a diet rich in fish and poultry, vegetables and rice -- both brown and long grain white. I season with sea salt in moderation, garlic and other herbs. I'm having a ball -- so many things to choose from.

Good for you in your weight loss and healthier eating endeavor!
We keep Bob’s flax seed on hand—which is also good for tossing in bread dough recipes. I haven’t tried sprinkling it m’ grits yet! Will try that tomorrow

Thanks and FReegards!
