Milled linseed (flax seed in some countries) - anyone tried it?

I will try that

I use 2 tablespoons rather than 3... thats my flax bun. Very low carb, very filling, good sandwich material. . If the taste isn't great to you try using strong tasting fillings like chorizo or ham and mustard...
 

Mmmm - one Weetabix is 13g carbs, so not really a goer with me.
 
Yogurt and milk (even Soya milk) have significant levels of carbs which can add up if you don't keep tabs on quantities. Cheese, on the other hand although it is a milk concentrate has less carbs per 100g.
 
I like it mixed in my porridge and its also great for thickening stews and gravy. Its a recent find though, and I would be interested to hear some bread recipes.

The no added sugar one

It's still packed with carbs - all that oats, dried fruit...

Just looked it up = 29g carbs for a 45g serving (which is very small); if you are on a ketosis diet that's all or more than your daily allowance. Even for modest low carbing of 60g per day that's half your allowance in one small serving and I know that 29g carbs would spike my sugar levels.

I have made a good porridge substitute (described earlier in this thread) using milled linseed, but not as a top up to oats but the other way around; 50g linseed and 15g oats (and not ordinary oats but oats with added oat and wheat bran).
 
I am delighted with my no added sugar alpen with almond milk ...thank you ,,but I tweak my diet to suit my needs ...and so far it has worked for me .
