Flax seed and veggie juice

papersadmin on Apr 3rd 2008 at 9:00 am food, supplements, weight loss

As I mentioned in the post on candida, I planned to try the suggestions made by the article I read and then Steve from Gold Flax Seed posted a tip in the comments about flax seed so I think I’ll try that as well. I do take an Omega 3 fish oil supplement already but I’m wondering if I should up that dosage or just add the flax seed. Will research that.

I generally eat Bob’s Red Mill’s 7-Grain Cereal for breakfast and it does already have some flax seed in it. I could likely add a bit more - a tablespoon, perhaps? - and that would increase the Omega 3 also.

As for the veggie juice, I’ve been drinking about 3 glasses a day for the past few days of the Isagenix HealthyGreens. It’s got kind of a licorice flavor which is ok but it can be overwhelming sometimes. Still not real sure if it’s helping yet. I’m sure it’ll take the full 10 days that is recommended in the info I found last week.

Also been eating/drinking tomato soup prepared with water. It’s also an Isagenix product that I had sitting around. It doesn’t taste that great so I only mix in one scoop instead of two as directed but it does taste considerably better that way. Add a little cayanne pepper for an added kick.

Speaking of cayenne pepper - have you ever followed the lemon juice cleanse? I don’t, but I do drink the lemon juice (using the recipe in the Detox Diet by Elson Hass) with a bit of cayenne once a day. It actually tastes pretty good.

If you have followed the cleanse, let me know what you think of it and if it helped you any. I’ve heard mixed responses.

Til next time,
