Ooh, and the article referenced almonds too. I made my own almos=nd flour and made muffins the other night.Almost completely carb-free! A word of advice on flaxseed: ALWAYS grind it up and NEVER eat them whole. You will be sorry if you eat them unprocessed, and you'll get no benefit from it.

I recently discovered flax in my low carb diet and I love it! I make it into a cereal with boiling water and peanut butter and cinnamon every day! All of the carbs in it are just fiber, so they don't count as a real carb! About.com has some great flax recipies and advice.

I made a smoothie out of some of these top productivity-enhancing foods: http://www.micronutrientgourmet.com/?p=40 It came out pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself!

That reminds me.. I made some pasta with a flour that had flaxseeds.... bad thing is, that the seeds would'nt fit on the pasta machine's rollers.

On another matter, to comment #1: is a flaxseed's shell really that tough, that the stomach's acids wouldn't process it?

Yeah, love to sprinkle milled flax seed over oatmeal. It's packed with dietary fibers and the oil is enriched with Omega 3 fatty acids--heart healthy nutrients. Moreover, flax seed is a brain food that rightly helps treat depression, ADD/ADHD and even memory problems. Want some recipes, find them with the link below:

It's ok to have whole flax seeds as long as they're soaked first... :)

We have been health conscious for the past 5 years, always looking for the easiest most convenient way to improve and maintain our health. From dozens of supplements each day, to eating low fat, low carb meals frequently through out the day, a healthy body provides an equally healthy mind.

We recently discovered the Goji berry; the scientific name for Goji is Lycium barbarum, hat has quite a bit of the same nutrients we been purchasing individual supplements for. We have been amazed at how this little berry has made a significant difference in our overall health and well-being.

Here is a great article on the fruit:

Also take a look at some independent research studies that have been done on this "super fruit" www.pubmed.org

Most of the berries you can get in the US are dried, which reduces the benefits of the fruit, and there is no guarantee on the quality of the fruit you will get. As with grapes for wine, where the fruit is grown is important to the nutrients the fruit contains. The best way to get the benefits of the fruit and guarantee you are getting good quality Goji berries is to purchase it in a liquid form from a well know source.

Take a look at the website below to learn more about the berry and how to go about getting Goji berry juice from a reputable source so you can experience the benefits for yourself:

I have been using milled flax-seed for years. I put it on alot of things. Especially like it on bagel bites (pizza topped) fried potatoes, eggs, now you get the picture.
