Hi Sande

just a couple of comments on your post:

>coffee, non-dairy creamer, diet coke, occasional can of Cream of
>Mushroom soup

I would get a good supply of water and drink that instead.  Really
good
water is wonderful to drink.
And be sure to drink at least 2 litres/day.  This could help lose
excess
weight also.

and diet coke???? do you know _anything_ about aspartame and similar
artificial sweeteners?

and when I take flax oil I pour it over my steamed veges - when
they've
cooled down.  Also, you could put it on your salad in place of other
dressing.

hope this helps,
Lynton
