Yet another question for RENEE!

April 17, 2004

Hi ,

I bought Super Omega Complex tablets today at Walmart-brand

name is Spring Valley. It has 550mg Fish oil (165 EPA and 110

DHA), 50mg Borage Seed Oil, 150 Flaxseed oil and 250mg

Safflower Oil. Someone on another site recommended it and I

was just wondering what your thoughts on this product are.

Thanks!

> I take 1 Tbsp of flax oil a day and I don't count the calories or fat

in any of my totals. For me, food is food and supplements are...

supplemental. I don't count the calories from my calcium chews

or Betagen either. It's not that they're freebies or that I'm in denial,

it's that their benefits far outweigh any impact they have on my

calorie deficit. If you're starving at 1,350 cals plus a tablespoon of

flax oil, or you're not losing fast enough at 1,750 plus a

tablespoon of flax oil, adjust your *food* calories up or down.

Leave the tablespoon of flax alone. That's my approach anyway.

calories, but I've also watched them try to calculate the calories

in: lettuce, cinnamon, splenda, garlic powder, and postage

stamps. You gotta decide where you're gonna draw the line. :-) :-)

Some people really thrive on that level of detail, other people just

go quietly mad... mwahahahaa!!
