Default Flax Oil

It seems to me that I've read so much about the low carb wol in the last month or so... it's like a new religion or something with me. *LOL!! Anyway, when I grocery shop (pretty much daily) I always keep my eye out for any low carb products that will aid me to stay on program. I'm a terrible impulse shopper and I must confess that I bought an 8 oz bottle of flax oil this morning. It's in a dark bottle, the expiry date isn't until September, it was refrigerated. Okay, so far so good. Is there some reason that I need to use this stuff? I was hoping it was high in protein but it has zero grams of protein. It is quite high in calories, though. Is there a real benefit to me taking this stuff?

Yep, huge benefits - if I do recal the Eades talk about it in detail in PPLP. You might try a search on this site (globe icon in upper right corner of every page) for "flaxseed AND benefit" I suspect you'll find enough to keep you busy for a few hours

tyranna, when you find the information yourself you often find other things you didn't know you were looking for. I could have just given you a link direct to something pertitent, but I figured if you went looking you'd find all kinds of information - If you've got the time using the search funtion can be a lot of fun.

Nat
