How to do the diet of the lineça

The flaxseed diet is easy to do and brings great he alth results, being based mainly on adding flaxseed meal or ground flaxseed to every meal to decrease appetite.

Flaxseed helps to lose weight because it is rich in omega-3, a good fat that helps to reduce inflammation in the body and favor 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 make the flaxseed diet

To follow the flaxseed diet, you should consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, which is the form in which the seed has the most he alth benefits. This happens because, when the flaxseed is whole, it is not digested by the intestine and its nutrients are not absorbed, which ends up not bringing he alth benefits.

Thus, the ideal is to crush the seeds just before using them, leaving the flour stored in a dark, tightly closed jar. This flour made from flaxseed can be added to yogurts, smoothies, milks, soups, salads, fruit juices and chopped or mashed fruits, for example.

In addition, flour can also be used to make preparations such as breads, cakes, pancakes and cookies, which can serve as nutritious, fiber-rich low-carb snacks. See 5 Low Carb Breakfast Recipes.
