    I use flaxseed quite often. I wouldn't link it directly to weight loss, but for its omega-3's and antioxidants. The reason it is said to be benificial to weight loss is due to is fiber content, which as we know, is good for keeping you full after a meal, thus aiding in weightloss i.e. appeitite control.

    I use ground flax seeds in my smoothies.

    like ncqueenbee said its good for omega-3s and has good fats.

    As far as nopalina thats one of the many miracle weight loss products that are marketed towards latinos, my mom falls for all of them.

    it does not work like sistema 7 does not, noni, and all the other ones.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but ... How do you grind them ? I don't have a food processor or mortar/pestle and I've been a little hesitant to buy them.

    Are they really hard, or can you just sort of mush them with a soon ?

    Also, do they have much of a flavor ?

    Thx
