I buy my virgin coconut oil and peanut butter (100%) from bulkpowders (online).
Wouldn't advise the htc brand of coconut oil on the top shelf at Tesco's unless its used on your face or hair. It is an excellent product for that tho.
I also buy the linwoods ground flaxseed online and the chia seeds. These are bought from the cheapest amazon sellers I can find.
I know Holland and Barrats sell some ranges of products.
High street shops that sell the flax n chia seed are few.
Make sure you get ground flaxseeds.

Don't know why with ktc oil that it is a totally different colour to all the other virgin oils I've used. KTC brand did have a lot of people through different sites questioning it's origin and how pure it was.. After purchasing a jar of it compared to other makes, it got relegated to my bathroom.
Glad to hear flax and chia seeds bought. Thats a good choice, I think. I use linwoods too and know others here recommend them.
Almonf flour in recipes is just ground up ground almonds whizzed through a blender again. I got a little mini braun blender and just whizz them through it before using in recipes. I have to source cheaper brand from internet, in the shops ground almonds are expensive. They are really good in recipes along with coconut flour. I think my coconut flour came from bulkpowders too.
You'll have to experiment. Seeds are really good with berries. 50 years of no breakfast and I eat every morning they are so good. I love them with cream. I put frozen ones in a ramekin to defrost overnight and hey presto a **** quick good food source for one.. Really easy. They are nice puddings too!
Having increased fat in diet is just getting used to the idea that we've grown up with low fat/semi skimmed foods...I so love fat to carbs, seeds definitely helps enormously with stomachs and weight management.
Good luck and do let us know how you get on...
I certainly will and thank you to you all .... you gave me such a boost when I needed it the most. As I have said I am not a very good cook but... I do try. This evening for dinner I had an M&S Chicken, ham and cheese meal and decided to have steamed cauliflower and cheese sauce with it to boost my calories...I hope this is right....anyway I decided to add more cheese to the sauce and the outcome was....an overpowering cheese glup. I ate it but then had to have two portions of water melon to calm my mouth down and I'm now drinking lots of water. Oh well.... back to the drawing board.
There's a brilliant lunch time snack /eating post on here at the moment. I cant at 5am in morn copy the link over... But hopefully someone can..
It gives some brilliant suggestions for "easy" eating. Could be used any time and good fats.
Love the tragedy of the cheese gloop!! I've had some home made biscuits that even the birds wouldn't eat!!
