Flax without the Flack

[LeanOnMe]

I have read alot about flax oil, I hope this is not a stupid question, but can I get it at a grocery store, and if so, where? Thanks alot.

yes you can! A lot of stores have an organic/natural food section.
I've also seen it in the refrigerated section by the butters and spreads.
It is very widely available though.
Kinda on the expensive side though.
A 12 oz. bottle cost me about 15 buckaroo's.

This is an Old-School (back from May 2001) quote from an EF member... It shows that people has been discussing how to drink their flax for the longest while. I did a quick search andI found the same story over and over again: Some drink it, some shake it, some cook it (OMG), some take the capsules (dumb), some don't do it at all (dumber).

I will just repeat myself: just drink it... there are much worse things in life.

Anybody interested, that particular thread is here:

I mix 2 Tbsp with my spinach. I actually like the taste. It seems like a lot of people cant taste it at all when they mix it in to their shakes.

Nicorette, your drawings are cool and everything... but there is something abour your original AVI that looks much better...

Any of you bro's have a easy way to get this stuff down?
I'm thinking of putting it in capsules.

LOL, just be a man and drink! And just be glad that flax oil exists, otherwise you'd be drinking FISH OIL as your omega-3 source. Now that stuff is nasty!

This is wrong. You don't want fat in your PWO shake. You need to spike your insulin levels with simple carbs and whey isolate. Adding fat will slow down the absortion. Not to mention that high insulin levels and fat will lead to fat gain.
Use it in a shake or just suck it up, or down, and drink it like I do.

aye.. slow the absorbtion is PRECISELY my gig.. i dont do the invert sugar mambo like most PWO plans and my results have been accellerated for the change... that haveing been said, without the presence of the inverts or satan sugars there IS NO insulin spike, thereby no 'fat pack' based upon such.

A thousand ways to skin a cat my man.

Man you got to go online - I just got an order in yesterday and I paid $5.28 for 12 oz of flax.

If it works for you that's cool, but with all the research clearly illustrating that immediately after training you need quick acting carbs and protein to recover quickly.
