Flaxseed

[Whitey]

Hi just want to know if you can add flaxseed to your shakes and soups as it is good for weight loss and no. 2's

Well, flaxseed is all about the essential fatty acids, which is great, but fat does have calories. If you are on SS then I reckon you ought to check how much in calories you will be adding to your daily intake. Psyllium husks are good for no. 2's and are allowed on CD. I hope a CDC will come on and answer the flaxseed question.

Thanks for the advice.

I doubt very much you can have them sorry.

I love ground flax seed and I add it to my yogurt daily, it is a good for you kind of fat.

... but not on a VLCD. I can't imagine that a CDC would say it's ok to have extra fats of ANY kind whilst SSing as the CD packs are nutritionally complete.

If you want a natural digestive aid to help prevent constipation then I'd stick to psyllium husks
