I take Flaxseed oil (in liquid form) as a supplement.  Is that allowed on SBD phase 1?

Yes, while I don't see the oil listed, good oils are, so it should be. Also 3 Tbs flax seed is allowed in Phase One. You may already know this, but be sure the source of the oil came from some place that refrigerated it and after opening, you need to use it up within a couple of weeks or so. If it smelles like paint thinner, it's gone racid. As I said, likely you are aware of that.

Were you on the Fat Flush diet? I did the FF for quite a while, I really liked the flax oil, I could see the difference in my skin. I just didn't like the taste by itself and I don't drink the smoothies anymore that I used to hide it in. What do you use it in? I'd love to start taking it again. I also liked the FF diet but the SBD is so much easier to stay on.

Hi, Sally --


I use flax oil in salad dressings, drizzle it on hot veggies but have it primarily in

Yes, I should start using it in salad dressings, I used to use half olive oil and half flax. I always laughed when Anne Louise Gittlemen said to drizzle it on popcorn. Now that I would never do! LOL! I couldn't even put in on veggies, great that you do. It is so good for us!
