Hi
Anyone have positive results with incorporating flax seed in their diet? I read that there are mixed results iro blood sugar reduction.
Best

anyone recommend the flaxseed oil capsules? - can't seem to stomach the actual seeds (no pun intended !)
To be honest it's more to do with WHAT to sprinkle them on (don't eat cereal, yoghurt, etc) as well as ease of 'delivery' taking tablets is so much easier and I'll fallen foul of the 'you don't even taste it' thing (coconut flour!!! Uuuurk!)Is it the actual seeds, or the ground (milled) seeds you have problems with? I use milled seeds and find if I sprinkle them over my foods I can't even taste them.

Makes delicious low carb crackers, and boy does it regularise things
Can you post the recipe??Same experience here. We bake the crackers in large batches, almost every day. (It is not the only seed in the recipe, but it is a key ingredient.)

They look good! How long do they keep? Do they need to be kept in the fridge?My wife (who does not have diabetes) and I are addicted to these: https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-seed-crackers.
It is an easy recipe. You may need to adjust the amount of coconut oil. Too much, and the crackers are too greasy. Too little, and they are too brittle and fall apart.

Do you find you need to cut them when they are still warm? Just tried the recipe and they are a bit difficult to cut once they have started cooling. I just used flax and ground almonds with some chilli flakes and garlic granules they taste pretty yum.We keep them in a biscuit tin. We eat them too fast to worry about conservation. A batch the size of a large oven pan barely lasts two days for two people.
We buy the ingredients in bulk, online (some of them in 4-pound bags). This is America, where everything is supersized.
If only some of these delicious sounding recipes come without any nutty ingredients. I can't eat nuts and that includes coconut. (Not allergic as such but they make me want to heave as soon as they touch my tongue. A life-long issue with me)
