Any dieter knows that hunger is a main enemy of trying to lose weight. When you’re hungry, you’re probably thinking about food. When you’re hungry, you’re more likely to have cravings for certain foods, and also more likely to give in to them. When you’re hungry, you’re more likely to over eat at meal time. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to stop hunger at will, whenever it happened? What if you could do it easily, safely AND cheaply? How do you think that would impact your weight loss efforts?
If you think this could make a huge difference in not only your success, but the EASE of success, you can’t miss this!
You don’t want hype and filler, you just want answers and solutions, so here’s the facts right away:

But what do you have to do to get all this to work?
Well first, you need some seeds, and you’ve got to eat them. Eating them is the easy and fun part, because of their unique flavorlessness and gelling property. These two factors combine to let chia seeds take on the taste of whatever you add them to. They distribute, never dilute, the flavors you love in drinks, foods, dips and toppings. That means it’s the one ingredient you can add that actually improves the flavor! Chia can make almost any food more healthful without messing up the taste.
How do Chia Seeds keep you feeling full?
When the Chia Seed is exposed to water or other liquids it begins to hydrate. This means that the fibers on the outside of the seed (almost too small to see with the naked eye) begin to trap moisture and form it into a gel. Each seed forms its own big bead of gel, that is not easily removed. When you eat this seed/gel combination, your body treats it like a big piece of food…not the 0 calorie water that it really is! The seeds themselves are tiny and healthy, but it’s their ability to absorb 9 TIMES their own weight in water that keeps you feeling full. This means you can use even 1 tsp of seeds to get rid of hunger whenever you want.

How do Chia Seeds help balance blood sugar and provide you with more energy?
Would you work out more if you FELT like it? What if you weren’t too tired to do all sorts of fun activities that also burn calories? The Chia Seed can help with that. Chia is one of the few plant sources of complete protein. Usually, complete protein is only found in animal products. It provides you with healthy, steady energy.
Blood sugar is also important in keeping you energized. It may spike after meals, and leave you feeling run down later. Ever feel like you need an afternoon nap for no real reason? Probably blood sugar is the culprit. Once again, it is the seed’s fiber and gelling action to the rescue. The two kinds of fiber present in every seed (soluble and insoluble) slow down the body’s conversion of carbohydrates into sugars. This results with blood sugar that’s more even throughout the day, and gives you the steady, never jittery or ‘crash prone’ energy you crave. Caffeine highs and sugary drinks will never provide that kind of long-lasting energy.

Good digestion is a part of weight loss
When your body is metabolizing food smoothly, easily, and with enough hydration the toxins that might keep you run down are flushed away. Insoluble fiber does not add calories because it cannot be digested by the body. Instead, it acts as roughage, keeping digested food moving along smoothly. The gel formed by the soluble fibers of the seeds keeps the colon hydrated.

Did you know that being deficient in minerals or vitamins can create a craving for food?
For instance, if you’re low on calcium, you may want to eat lots of cheese and ice cream. Or you might want extra servings of cheesy or creamy-sauce pasta, driving up the calorie count with milk-fats and starchy carbs. By balancing your vitamins and minerals with chia, you can curb cravings that might tempt you. By weight, chia has more calcium than whole milk. It also has magnesium and boron, essential trace minerals used in the absorption of calcium and other vitamins.
Eat a fat…to lose fat?
That’s what “USA Weekend” reported on a study of dieters. In the study, people on the diet who were also supplementing with omega-3 oil lost more weight than people who didn’t use this healthy oil. Omega-3 oil, commonly found in fish like salmon, and cod-liver oil is a healthy oil your body needs for cellular health. It may even help raise good cholesterol, improve digestion, and relieve some types of arthritis pain.
But where did all the omega-3 go? Is its loss part of the obesity cause? Animal fats (like real butter, cream, etc) were seen to have saturated fats (long seen as ‘the bad guy’) and were phased out in favor of plant based oils like corn, sunflower and rapeseed. These plant oils may be unsaturated, and they may boast a long shelf life, but they also are loaded with Omega-6, the less healthy of the oils. When you consume too much omega-6 it can cause inflammation that may lead up to a build-up of cholesterol in the arteries. Some omega-6 is needed for cellular heath, but too much and it can be a problem.
In all, chia helps you lose weight in 6 ways:
Stop hunger, quiet cravings for food, improve digestion, give you the energy to be active, balance blood sugar, and help restore the omega-3 balance. If “big pharma” ever found a pill that could do all that, you can bet they’d charge an arm and a leg. But…enough chia for 1 month is far less than a dollar a day, all natural, and has 0 risk. When you want to lose weight, keep it off, and stay healthy and energized the whole time, nothing can beat the chia seed. You have nothing to lose but the excess weight so see for yourself how great these seeds really are!
