Support Healthy Weight Loss
Chia seeds contain nutrients that may help with weight loss. High levels of fiber and protein are important for weight loss. When they reach the stomach, soluble fiber compounds absorb water. The fibers expand and make people feel fuller. It can also help slow down the digestion of food, which helps to reduce hunger. Glucomannan has been shown in multiple studies to help with weight loss. The protein can also reduce an individual’s appetite and overall calorie intake. In a study, researchers found that adding chia to breakfast led to a feeling of fullness. They also reported fewer calories consumed over comparatively short periods. There have been some studies that have shown discouraging results. In one study, eating a lot of chia seed for 12 weeks did not have measurable effects on weight.
