It can support your goals because of the high Omega-3 content, which helps with metabolism. I track my daily macros on MyFitnessPal and adding a teaspoon of flax seed oil fits nicely into my healthy fats budget. But remember, you still need a calorie deficit.

Honestly, flax seed oil won't magically melt fat on its own. It is a great source of healthy fats which keeps you full, but weight loss depends on your overall clean eating and consistent workouts. Focus on your daily protein and strength training first.

I am also trying to lose weight and someone suggested this to me recently. Is it better to take the capsules or use the actual oil in food? I am a bit confused about how to start using it safely.

Let us be direct: no single oil is going to make you lose weight. Flax seed oil is healthy for your heart and joints, but if your overall diet is bad, it won't help at all. Fix your daily calorie intake first, then add this as a supplement.

Since we vegetarians don't get Omega-3 from fish, flax seed oil is a wonderful alternative that helps control inflammation. However, it is pure fat and very high in calories, so don't overdo it. Just one teaspoon a day in salads is more than enough.
