Hi Chrissie,

First of all, welcome!

Have you had a good look around the rest of this wonderful site?
Check out the orange bar at the top of the screen - lots of useful info there - especially Low Carb Tips.
Also, if you go to Newbies' Questions, have a look at Hot Links - a "sticky" at the top. you'll find links to heaps of previous threads with loads and loads of interesting stuff.

Now, about the flax seeds. Did you know that they are called linseeds here in Oz? They are available in most supermarkets. Check the Health Food sections there. Pity you don't live in Brissie, I'd give you mine. I think they are repulsive. Can't quite understand that some folk claim to love them!
I've also seen TVP in the health Food sections of supermarkets.

Cheers, matey.
