I've been having the same problem ... and I was beginning to think that I might have to give this woe up because I just could not start another morning staring into that glass of orange Metamucil! So I tried checking out some other alternatives, and did a search at the Atkins' Friends site. I found this Flaxseed Muffin recipe which many of the folks over there swear by. Made the muffins yesterday and they are pretty good. Next time I think I will try some of the variations like adding peanut butter, etc. You might want to check it out:
