Is it okay to use flax seed meal during induction?

I use it. I don't know if it's okay or not, but I love to mix in a tablespoon with my mock danish in the morning

*Edited* Okay I found this post on it. Hope it helps! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ight=flax+seed

Re: Flax Seed Meal ????

Flax uses during Induction are as follows:

For daily fiber supplementation
Chapter 8: "I recommend that you take one tablespoon of psyllium husks daily. Be sure to select a sugar-free product. You can also take one tablespoon of coarse wheat bran or flaxseed meal."

For relief of constipation
Chapter 11: "If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables."

So there is a limit set forth in the book. Again, if you use the flax as a food, then the On-Going Weight Loss phase is the appropriate phase to do that. During Induction it's only used as a fiber supplement or as a constipation reliever in the amounts specified in the book.
