Hi Guys,
Ok, I got my Flaxseed oil.
Any suggestions on what to mix it with?
I'm not much of a yoghurt man, so mixing with that is out.

I used to mix mine in my protein shakes. Cant taste it at all that way. Now I just take fish oil caps.


Posted by: Art

Yuk, I just had a tablespoon straight.
I won't do that again.

That is why you need to buy fish oil capsules.

You can mix it in a can of tuna or make your own salad dressing with it. Personally, I could never really get into using flax oil and just take fish oil caps now.

It tastes nasty, but sometimes its easier to just suck it up and swallow it off the spoon. I rank it up there with fiber. ewwwwwwwww

I mix mine into my last protein shake before i go to bed.

I found in tuna, as well, that you can't taste it. Other than that, suck it down from the spoon and don't bother ruining your food

Hi, I was wondering, what are the benefits of Fish Oil Caps???? Is it beneficial to take one a day?


Posted by: Big Smoothy

Can splash on Cottage Cheese.

1 a day is not enough. At the top of this forum or the link in my signature will take you to the stickies about nutrition. At the bottom of that sticky is a few articles on fish oil. Happy reading

Ok, I think I've done ok mixing it with this pasta meal for tea.
To save it from the heat, I've poured it in at the last minute before
serving.
That's all good because the pasta usually comes out a bit dry.

IN the protein shake is good, I put 1 tbs.
For me it does change the taste..

Shit, you can just by FLAX capsules.. Just go with that if you're set on taking flaxseed oil.

Mix with lemon and herbs to make a salad dressing


Posted by: sentricyphen

if taste bothers you, you might want to try hemp oil. not the same ratios though.


Posted by: Art

I'm on a budget plouffe, and I imagine that caps wouldn't be
the most cost effective way to buy it.

I thought all of my money worries would be over with quitting smoking,
but it costs much more to maintain a user friendly diet than
a smoking habit.

I always mix my flax in my breakfast shake which includes strawberries, blueberries, a frozen banana, protein powder, powdered greens and O.J.
You can't even taste the flax. You can mix in different fresh or frozen fruits
and substitute different juices any way you like.

But shouldn't we avoid as much as possible eating fat and carbs together in one meal?

you don't want to eat a high carb meal with a lot of fats. but fats help to stabilize serum glucose levels so a high carb meal with little fats is ok.

it doesnt taste bad at all. I take a giant spoonfull each morning. I actually like the taste.

I think flax oil is barfy, but it's easier, cheaper and less time consuming to down a tb of oil than swallow 14 fish oil pills

how many flax oil capsules should be taken each day.. on average. mybottle says 2 a day. would it be okay to take olive oil as a EFA?


Posted by: SteveDeBeave

Another vote for blending it with a protien shake.

Capsules cost to much so with my shake is the only way to get it down....

olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and contains no Omega fatty acids. Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats.


Posted by: sara

Flax oil, Apple Cider Vinegar and some Hot pepper
Add it to your salad or tuna


Posted by: Velvet

...or.. you could just down a tablespoon of the nasty stuff and immediately follow it with a shot of JD..that'll kill the taste and give you a nice warm feeling

my olive oil says 2g poly and 10g mono... that's some...

and Art:
you spend more money now than before? i found i spent a lot more money when i wasn't watching my food intake.... cuz i ate out all the time. i guess people tend to eat less when they smoke, since it is an appetite suppressant... but i wouldnt think it would make a huge difference. im surprised to hear you are spending more money now than with the smoking habit.

I agree also. Buying capsules would put me in the poor house.

I will add that not only do I put in my shakes, but sometimes I will add the tablespoon to my salad and then add two tablespoons of fat free Italian dressing on top. This masks some of the yucky taste of the flax oil.


Posted by: Velvet

Dressing: 1 part flax oil to 1 part apple cider vinegar with a shit load of cajun spices....the spices kill the flax flavour
