Eating chia seeds has helped a local resident lose weight, according to a recent article.

Besides being high in fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, they can also be a part a weight loss program.  The high fiber can make you feel fuller and it can help lower your blood sugar levels.

One local woman has lost 31 pounds since she started using the seeds in February.  She adds the seeds to about 4 ounces of tomato juice before a meal to help fill her up.

I’ve been using them off and on since January, mixing them in with my protein drink in the morning.  Besides making you feel full, they can help slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates, again, helping with blood sugar levels.

I have also been eating some raw almonds before some of my meals for the same type of benefit.  Most of us could use more fiber in our “diets” because of the tendency of many to consume highly processed foods, that are lacking in fiber content.

Besides the fiber, I think that the good fats also help with fat loss, in my opinion.  I’ve been also doing a weekly fast of about 24 hours to help get ready for Summer.  All of the above seem to be helping, as I’m starting to see more definition in my abs.

Not quite a six pack yet, but maybe in 4-6 weeks.  Definitely getting leaner, which is the big goal anyway.  Still don’t eat perfectly, but making baby steps.  The healthy fats seem to decrease sugar cravings.  Like everything else, a gradual increase is probably advised.

Don’t forget to add more movement into your daily activities.  Sweat is good!

Get moving!
