Mixxing flax oil with complex carbs is ok?

[Tom Treutlein]

Would you care to point me towards some articles showing that this is okay?

I don't have any articles, this is from an advanced nutrition text. Sorry!

Yo, you peeps need to shizzle my nizzle! Anywho, faller is correct. Fat is digested at a much slower rate than carbs, and the insulin spike from the meal will have come and gone by the time the fat reaches the bloodstream. No only that, but most fats are not the same as the fatty acids in your adipose tissue, your body has to break them completely down and use the excess calories to create new fat tissue. Carb calories are converted into adipose tissue just as easily fat calories, if you do not factor in the higher insulin levels associated with excesses carb intake, which actually makes the carbs more prone to be stored as body fat if taken in in excess during a meal.

To answer the original question. Only if you add it after cooking. Cooking n-3 fats can damage them, thus making them less useful.

So, BBF, would it be okay if I had oatmeal with UDO's or EV Olive Oil in some meals?

Can fats be consumed before bed? I know carbs aren't supposed to be taken in later at night because they'll be stored as fats. Does the same go for fats?

EFA's before bed are fine. Carbs before bed are only converted into bodyfat if yoru body does not need them. For example, people on a ckd can start their carb up 2 hours before bed and generally will not have to worry about them being stored as bodyfat since their muscle glycogen stores are depleted and will readily absorb them, even if they are sleeping.
