Flax Seed Oil + Fasted AM Cardio

[metsn2005]

where can you buy flaxseed oil, and how much is it? does rite aid have it or would you have to find a gnc?

also, are there any side affects if you take it in moderation?
and like other people have asked, is the exercise necessary? I'm not really fat and my first priority is getting rid of the gyne. I cant do these cardio runs in the morning... gotta get up real early. I could go running maybe after school, but thats it.

Hey. I think my mom buys it at the health food store. It's like $3 for a pound or so. I also recommend taking the actual flaxseed over the oil. It's supposed to be better. I just take 3 tblspoons or so and dump it on my cereal in the morning and evening. It's good if you do exercise I'm sure (I lift weights), but I don't think it's a necessity (espcially the time of day). And no, I don't think there are any side effects (just don't eat the whole bag in one day).

[metsn2005]

hmm... can anyone give me a second opinon on which kind to buy. right now im leaning towards the oil.. seems more potent and what more people take. Does your set up work Boobs?

"Compared to flaxseed oil, flaxseed contains 98% more anti-cancer lignans (this is what you want) and 97% more fiber... Flaxseed contains flaxseed oil in its very freshest form. "

flax seed oil contains an anti-estrogen ....

the gland is getting smaller and smaller... I would give it 1-2 more weeks for it to be completely gone....

is the flaxseed oil your talking about in gel capsule pill form that you can swallow, or a actual oil?

i've seen the flaxseed that come in a pouch that you can pinch out and eat or add to different meals as you eat.

what kind of flaxseed is it?

No the exercise is not necessary. Its purpose is only to lose fat. If you consume a lot of the oil, you should beware though, since the oil is very calorie-intensive.

It is a "different" kind of oil, as it is poly-unsaturated. In modern society we eat too little of that, so it is healthy for you. It contains the same amount of calories as ordinary oils though.

i've been using flaxseed oil in my smoothies for 2 years and never had it do anythign for gyne....i had surgery in october so i can't tell you any more, but in the 2 years i took it it did nothing for me.

I picked up the FlaxSeed pills that you swallow.  Are these the right ones?  Also, if it doesn't clear up Gyno, what is it's purpose as far as medical goes?

[metsn2005]

flaxseed is still really good for you in a ton of ways. do a google search, i cant find the site that listed them, but there were a ton. It basically improves many aspects of your general health, one of which is estrogen prevention i guess. The only side affect I could find was it makes you little more regular, as people do take it to relieve constipation. But I think you have to take more than one tbsp for constipation, so i dont think any of us would have a problem, unless they already have loose stool.

Question - I would really prefer to not sprinkle a bunch of flax seed grinds etc on my food. Do the pills really lack that much anti-estrogen? Can you eat the flax seeds by themselves? Thanks!

so in conclusion,
what is the best form of flax seed to buy?
how much should i take? in a perfect world my gyne would have disapeared within 6 months for me starting college.
how many calories are in flax seed? i generally dont like to consume more than 700 a day

[metsn2005]

700 a day???

that is incredibly unhealthy.. but please, will someone answer his other questions.

[Boobs]

I believe that flaxseed itself is better for you than just the oil. Most people take oil though because it is more convenient. It is recommended to take between 1-6 tblspoons a day of flaxseed (about 13g a tablespoon). I don't know about the oil.

I just ordered some flax seed seeds. I'm going to take them in conjunction with my andractim treatment. Hypo, is this a bad idea? I thought it would be good to attack the gland from as many directions as possible.
