magic weight loss seeds

I've just recently tried chia seeds in a smoothie. The seeds added a nice nutty flavor and some fiber. I was unaware of the weight loss claims. Well, it turns out the seeds have not been found to have weight loss properties.

The Claim: Chia Seeds Can Help You Lose Weight

Another magical weight loss food bites the dust.

I remember when they were all the buzz.
Maybe not for weight loss... but for texture, and oils and fun! That's just about all the fun I get these days!
:D

Cha cha chia fun! Anne, you seem to be able to find a way to have fun no matter what! (And that's a good thing.)

It's thinks like these that make you wonder if you're doing ANYTHING right at all. One day it's great and the next there's nothing to back up the claim. At least now I know not to try them unless I want a little fiber boost!

I don't think I could choke these little guys down at all. But, kudos for trying something new! I made my first protein shake today, and it wasn't half bad! I am going to experiment with some ingredients. But it kept me full for quite a while, I was pleasantly surprised.
