Chia seeds

Anyone using these? Apparently they're super good for you and promote weight loss and give you tons of energy naturally. You can add them to any meal because they're so tiny and tasteless. I realized 4 hours after eating them I was exhausted and perked right up after another scoop. They're pretty awesome if you ask me

I have some. They are Bobs Red Mill brand. If you put some in a bowl and add some almond milk or coconut milk it turns into a nice little pudding. You can make it with protein drinks as well. Very satisfying.

Chia Seeds - Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and iron; great for weight loss because they act like a sponge, absorbing sugar and stabilizing blood sugar levels; Because of high fiber content, the tiny seeds can hold up to twenty times their weight in water, so when mixed with liquid they plump and absorb excess moisture; add to oatmeal or put in a bowl with unsweetened chocolate almond milk-they will absorb the liquid and gelatinize, similar to the consistency of a rice pudding

Hummmm have to try them.

Try a Health food store or a Market like Winco.

I looked at Walmart & Target Nothing possibly only a Specialty Store that carries "Healthy Products"

I would really like to add these to like yogurt ect has anyone ask their NUT about them, are they ok for us to have post op. I guess I worry about things clogging up or messing with the bowel area. I know my doc says miralax is ok but I think I have read some docs say no, so just wondering.

I'm waiting for my NUT TO RESPOND on this!!!

This is what my NUT said about Chia or Chia seeds, as they are mostly seen, do have fiber because they are a seed. Iron is minimal in them, so not a very adequate source.
