I had flax pancakes for breakfast this morning. They were really good. I have read that you need to use ground flax because you don't get the same benefits, or really any benefit from the whole seeds. Also, if you are hypothyroid you need to eat them cooked only. For instance in pancakes, muffins, or bread, or hot cereal, and not sprinkled on a salad or in yogart.
To answer the question about triggering cravings. No, they should not cause cravings. They are just about pure fiber. You have to realize, too, that all carbs don't cause cravings. Atkins is not a no carb diet, it is a low carb diet.
