The flaxseed diet is easy to do and brings great health results, being based mainly on adding flaxseed flour to every meal to decrease appetite.
Flaxseed helps you lose weight because it is rich in and omega-3, a good fat that helps to reduce inflammation in the body and promote weight loss. In addition, this seed is easy to consume and can be used even by the entire population, also helping to control problems such as high cholesterol and diabetes. See all the Benefits of flaxseed.
How to do flaxseed diet
To follow the flaxseed diet, you should consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of flaxseed flour, which is the way in which the seed brings the most health benefits. This is because when flaxseed is whole, it is not digested by the intestine and its nutrients are not absorbed, which ends up not bringing any health benefits.
Thus, the ideal is to crush the seeds just before using them, leaving the flour stored in a dark and tightly closed jar. This flaxseed flour can be added in yogurts, vitamins, milks, soups, salads, fruit juices and chopped or mashed fruits, for example.
In addition, the flour can also be used to make preparations such as breads, cakes, pancakes and cookies, which can serve as nutritious and high-fiber low-carb snacks. See 5 Low Carb Breakfast Recipes.
