Flaxseed meal always causes me to stall AND have cravings. I'm bummed about that as it has a great taste to it.

Yes, it is and no, it won't. Flax is almost but not quite pure fiber with a little oil. Some fiber is good -- lots is not.

Flax seeds and flax oil are not weight loss aids but dietary supplements.
