Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Let's see if I can throw in my 2cents worth. Stasia, , or some of the other long-term BFL-ers will be able to give you more details. I think some of the bfl.com site has changed a lot since Bill sold EAS. Nuts by themselves are not a meal. You can add a few to cottage cheese and fruit or any other protein/carb serving to make a meal. They are considered an essential fat. Now if you were eating southbeach, the nuts would be a snack. As far as flaxseed and other essential oils such as omega 3,6,9; do your own research, decide if you need it. Most body building diets are so low in fat that it is helpful to have a tablespoon of these added. I don't have a end date. I'm not sending in a packet so I just change my routine every 4-5 weeks and keep going and going and going. I don't plan to stop until I die. I know what will happen if I try to take a break. I'll end up breaking for 2 or 3 years like I have in the past. Deb On 2/17/06, voodoomedicinegirl <VoodooMedicneGrl@...> wrote: > > Hey everyone, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Aliza - Flaxseed oil is a supplement - it provides 'essential' oils that we don't get from other foods. It's pricey and not required. Flax seeds are more reasonably priced, but need to be ground before used; they can be mixed in your shake, sprinkled on salad, added to oatmeal. Again - they're good for you but certainly not required for the plan to be effective. You're still in the mindset of this being a 'diet.' Someone else will chime in more about fat; I'm not fond of salad dressing on my food. When I roast vegs, I spray them with olive oil. And, I figure that my food has fat built into it. And I tend to choose hi-fat foods on my freeday.... I don't think a portion of unsalted nuts is a great choice as a meal or snack. That's just the folks at EAS trying to make this pretty for the masses. Of course, it's better than a bag of chips! But a couple of hardboiled eggs and a piece of fruit is a better choice. Or cheese stick and fruit. Or cottage cheese & yogurt. At the end of 12 weeks, I took a break and then started up again. I eased up on my food, and didn't exercise. I wanted to take a class in pilates or yoga, but didn't have my act together. I was really glad to have the week off, and I was really glad to resume my routine. I'm in my 12th week of the 2nd cycle, and will take next week off and then start again. HTH n At 04:47 AM 2/17/2006, you (ALIZA) wrote: >Hey everyone, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Believe it or not, the fats in flax oil actually assist with fat mobilization. Fat burns once it has become mobilized, free floating you might say. The flax oil helps fat to mobilize so it is important to have a tablespoon of it at a meal not containing creatine. Other good fats are nuts, avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish. I believe that taking a break between challenges encourages poor habits to return. If BFL is truly for life there shouldn't be any breaks. If you wish, take a week off from the workouts. Don't threaten any already established good eating habits because they are much harder to fix. Plus, there's the chance you could gain a little weight back during the break from BFL if you aren't careful. Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've been putting the flax oil and l-glutamine into my protein shake. Is that bad/wrong? I guess i don't question that the l-glutamine is doing something; I'm not getting sore after work outs hardly at all. But, I just started on the flax oil sup and don't know what results I'll get with that. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Flax oil and glutamine are probably fine, at least I've never heard anything bad about combining them. Creatine, on the other hand, relies on a bit of an insulin spike (from carbs, or from a protein/carb meal, or from the transport system in the drink mix) in order to get sucked up into your muscle cells. Fat blunts the insulin response and so it interferes with the muscle sucking. That's the technical explanation.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 It takes 14 flaxoil capsules to make up one tablespoon of flaxoil.The oil or ground seeds are the way to go. I don't take fish oil, but I do have fish in my diet.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 It was my impression that it is the Omega 3 that is essential. It takes about 14 capsules to get that amount. It is cheaper to buy the seeds and ground them, or take the oil.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 It comes from the nutrition labels. It will vary by brand because it depends how big the capsules are, but as an example there are 14g of flax oil in 1 tablespoon of Barlean's and 1000mg (1 gram) in your capsule, so 14 capsules = 1 tbsp.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 i often wonder....maybe the higher ups, the " elite " , whatever you want to call them, maybe they want us to keep telling people not to take the vaccine, it's bad for you, it will sterilize, paralize, and kill you, dont take the vaccine! etc, etc, so that " they " can introduce some reeeelly heavy stuff on us like the Spanish Flu, or like whats happening in the Ukraine. Maybe they figure if they can't get us slowly with the vaccines, they can scare us into our own graves by tricking us into not taking the vaccine...say this H1N1 blows over and millions decide that the vaccine wasnt worth it, that vaccines arent the answer, and then the next time its a new virus they've created for us,and the next time will be the last time, for many of us. just wondering....anyone have that same thought?
