The research shows the benefits of flaxseed for weightloss, too. It is proven to reduce blood sugar levels, and may even help to prevent type 2 diabetes! Healthy blood sugar levels are critical to achieving, and maintaining, a healthy weight.

Flax seeds also have a whole host of other nutrients that make them a true superfood. They are known for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer abilities. So use flaxseed for weightloss--you'll get lots of additional benefits!

How do you eat flax seed?

I don't recommend using flax seed oil because it can go rancid so easily. It's a very fragile oil, and must be kept away from any light and refrigerated at all times, or it will go bad. Some people have difficulty digesting oils, too.

So eat flax seed in its whole seed form, or grind it just before you're going to use it. I grind about a cup at a time, then keep it in the fridge. I use this up within a week, so it stays very fresh. You can use your blender to grind the seeds, or a food processor. Some people use a coffee grinder-just make sure you clean all the coffee grounds out before you put the flax seed in!

There are LOTS of ways you can eat flax seed. I love making low-carb muffins with it, using ground flax seed as a flour replacement (I do include some flour-but it's sprouted flour). I use flax seeds and weightloss ingredients to create great-tasting muffins. Here's a page devoted just to muffin recipes with flax seed.

You can add flax seeds to just about anything. It's best to eat them raw. I sometimes put a teaspoon or two into my smoothies. This makes for a grain-y smoothie that might need some chewing, but I like that. Give it a try.

Another way to eat flax seed is in a pre-made fiber mix. I highly recommend Garden of Life's Super Seed fiber drink. This fiber mix includes a lot of flax seeds and weightloss ingredients. I frequently use this fiber mix in the morning on an empty stomach, along with some green pills such as chlorella or spirulina, and this will keep me going strong for several hours. Garden of Life makes some great greens pills, but it's expensive (about $55 for a month's worth). You can get similar benefits A LOT cheaper with spirulina or chlorella alone.

You could also use this fiber mix during the mid-afternoon when you get the "munchies". It's pretty tasty, and it will fill you up and get you through those tough times of the day.

Bottom Line

The connection between flax seeds and weightloss is strong, and shows the importance of fiber for weightloss. Use flaxseed for weightloss in a variety of ways, including shakes/smoothies and in your baking recipes. It will keep you full, and away from eating foods that promote weight gain.
