Default Flaxseed and Fishoil versuses Flaxseed and fishoil capsules

Hi everybody!

I started Cohen's 3 weeks ago and have a couple of questions. First of all does it matter if one takes the oil of Flaxseeds or Fishoil instead of the capsules. I just find it a lot easier to swallow (fishoil) or use the flaxseedoil on salad or yoghurt but don't know it that is actually allowed.

The other question that I had is the following: Do you have to eat the whole prescribed vegetable quantity? For example when I am eating cheese I just don't feel like the whole permissable amount of vegetables and am perfectly happy with just a bit of capsicum and tomato.

It would be great if somebody could help in that regard.

Cheers

Hi chrisski,

Welcome!

Although I don't know the answer to the flaxseed/fishoil OIL, I was in 2 minds about flaxseed vs fishoil, and have had fishoil capsules since the beginning, but I am almost out of them and think I will try the flaxseed... not that that helps you, hehe. Hopefully someone else can chime in for that one.

In regards to your vegies, you do have to eat them all... the gram allowance is prescribed to you and is in exact measurements. Try using heavier vegies so there is less of them, if you need help there. I know if I have a salad, and use mainly lettuce the amount is daunting, but if I throw in some tomato too, it really uses up a lot of the allowance.

Hope that helps,

xMissy

Hi Chrisski

Lil Doll is right - have to eat all of your allowances, protein and vege. If you find the veges tough, here is a link to a 'vege sauce' I made http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9721

Shameless self promotion LOL. Makes it a lot easier to get those veges down!

Thank you for the advice. Will eat all vegies from now on even if I feel like a rabbit sometimes.

I can't answer your question Chrisski but related to the whole flaxseed oil versus fishoil, is there any advantage to take both of them in capusal form?

When I eat cheese, I have it with cucumber (which weighs a lot!).
