 Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat) | |
| Something else. Flax seeds used as a fiber supplement (1 tbsp = 6.5 g or 0.2 oz) will likely not stall you. If you eat a lot of flax (like, for example, 1/4 cup, as in a 1-minute muffin), then you might experience some water weight gain, because of the soluble fiber in flax. In any case, you are only allowed to play with flax as a food in OWL, when you can try adding it back in 1-oz amounts (the limit for nuts and seeds), every other day. This allows you to see your reaction to it. | |

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
