So now, I just put 2 or 3 tablespoons in a small bowl and eat it dry. I don't love it, I don't hate it. I just do it. I have to say, in the 3 months I'm taking it, my cholesterol has gone down, my good cholesterol is way up, and for the first time that I can remember in my adult life, my cholesterol ratio is normal. (I happen to have had my blood work taken just before I started the flaxseed meal and I just had it redone last week.)

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 So now, I just put 2 or 3 tablespoons [of flaxseed]in a small bowl and eat it dry. WOW!! And I thought *I* was hardcore because I just make oatmeal out of the flaxseed. I put hot water in, a packet of Splenda, and a couple tablespoons of half-and-half (and a little salt, saltaholic that I am). I started to eat it in my cottage cheese, but I couldn't STAND it the second time I tried that (even though I really enjoyed it the first time! Will have to try again.) I couldn't handle the flaxseed in my shakes...I like smooth shakes, not crunchy ones. pandy 408+/185 give or take/150(?)
