Flaxseed muffins are allowed on Atkin's, even in phase one. If you do this, add it in very slowly. I like the golden flaxmeal on Amazon.com. Mix with one egg, splenda, cinnamon, baking powder, mix, put in microwave for one minute and 15 sec. I use about 1/8 of a cup, every other day. Put butter or melted cream cheese on top. Drink lots of water and add in every other day at first.

I had a 1 minute muffin yesterday (1/4 cup flax meal and T coconut oil), 1 teaspoon of magnesium supplement, and a few psyllium husk tablets yesterday, 1 caster oil, 2 fish oil, 2 flaxseed oil pills -- and now "things" are normal. Its kind of a pain to take all that stuff, but it forces me to drink a lot of water -- which is a good thing.

Doesn't matter if it's slow or not, just depends on if you're constipated.

If it's killing you to go to the bathroom, then that's a bad thing, but if you're just going normally, but less frequently - don't change a thing.

You're just eating stuff that is getting USED instead of wasted, that's all.

If you ARE constipated, take 500mg of magnesium at night before bed, but if you're not, don't!
