Flax seeds

[lolokos]

When on a timed carb diet, do you use flax seeds for fibre and Omega-3s or is their carb content too high?

[Siberian]

The carb content in flaxseed is nearly all fiber so it will have little impact if at all on your blood sugar and ability to burn fat. I use ground flaxseed all the time when dieting with no problems.

correct me if I am wrong, but you must grind them in order for your body to process them . If taken whole it will pass through your system without break down.

Yeap, you have to grind them or your shit will look really funny, trust me I know from experience.
