Anyone know whether flaxseed is allowed?

[Jennifer_Walker]

I'm curious as to whether I can add flaxseed to my diet? It's a great antioxidant. I have a bag in my freezer that is going to waste. Would you suggest substituting the tolerated wheat bran a day for the flaxseed? What about making the Dukan bread with it?

Thanks for any input!

I'm pretty sure Flaxseed is the alternative name for linseed, so the same answer applies as in the thread below - it's very high in fat, (42%) and so not suitable for Dukan.

Thank you, I didn't know that! I will read below. I guess it stays in the freezer.

It can come out of freezer when you stabilize - it's great stuff, really good for you (just not so good for the weightloss stage).

Flax must be one of the most useful plants in earth - linen, seeds, bran, lovely flowers - and oil for cricket bats!

I saw several fields of flax in bloom last week, a lovely blue across the whole field.

So I can have it in consolidation? I wonder what would be an allowable amount?

Stabilisation, to be strict - (unless you added it to your gala meals!)
