Thanks Leigh and Lisa,
I tried the flax porridge cooked in the microwave for about 1 and a half minutes and added soya cream, splenda and vanilla essence and found surprisingly edible.

They are also good in bread recipes. I also use a coffee grinder to make it into a finer material depending on how seedy I want the bread.

Hello LittleAnne
It is good to hear from you. To tell you the truth, i am having a break from dieting. I have been doing Atkins for 2 years and got to the point that i could not stand being resticted to certain foods any more. So i am trying the Leigh woe...using all of the information that i have learned over the years...being on various diets. Its working so far. Although if i do start to put wieght on, then i shall be straight on Atkins again, as it definately is the best way to lose wieght. I hope that you are ok and still enjoying eating the Atkins way. Take Care Leigh

Flax meal is also great mixed into yogurt with a little Da Vinci syrup for flavour.

I was originally reccommended linseeds to help with constipation in the first week of the atkins. Since then they have been sitting there doing nothing. They were nearly thrown away, luckily I found this place first.

I have tried linseeds ground up with black peppercorns to add flavour to salads as I am not a big fan of salad dressings. It worked better than I thought it would

I buy "Golden Linseed" from Julian Graves and grind about 50g at a time in a coffee grinder. Used to nuke it with milk but have given up dairy so now use just water. Not as nice but is edible. Was nicer also mixed half and half with ground almond from same shop, but a bit too high in carbs.
Might try mixing it with whey protein...
It does keep things regular, all that fibre is better than the psyllium husks I used to take, at least I think that's what it was called.
Julian Graves is pretty good if there's one near you. Bigger bags and cheaper than GNC and Holland and Barrett for all sorts of nuts, seeds and things.
