Chia Might Help Weight Loss

Slim is in and fat is not. Not exactly the latest in social breakthroughs here. But slim takes time and a whole lotta work in the gym. And besides, fattening food just tastes so darn, well, tasty.

Hey, it happens to the best of us. Grandma's cookie jar beckons all sorts of goodies, be they cookies, chocolate or just things you know you shouldn't be eating, but, aw heck, it's just one...right?

The problem is, it's never just one. And when summer rolls around, and the clothes come off, you'll see that extra fig newton (or ten) you've quaffed each night on the belly or around the hips. Yup, it's bathing suit season folks. Are you going for lean and sexy, or the Michelin Man in a speedo?

There's no question: it takes effort to stay lean. And that's why Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed might help in your effort to look sexy in a season when clothing is optional.

Chia is a flowering plant native to Mexico and Guatemala. Cultivated hundreds of years ago by the Aztecs, today it's prized for its exceptional nutritional content. At 16% protein, 31% fat and 44% carbohydrates, of which 38% is fiber, Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed packs pretty much something for everyone.

As someone with a vested interest in your sex appeal, with a desire to stay lean and pleasing to the eye in a bathing suit, that might be you.

Chia absorbs water. Actually, it absorbs up to nine times its weight in water. One tablespoon of chia packs a belly-filling 41.25 calories of nutritional goodness. You'll feel full with less calories. And with more than 27 essential minerals, vitamins and nutrients, including a heart-healthy dollop of omega-3 fatty acids, the calories it packs deliver health and vitality.

There's a reason why the Aztecs valued chia seeds and gave it to their messengers for nourishment - it's an excellent source of nutrition for those on the go.

Let's break that down further. Chia seeds are small, have a very mild flavor and require no grinding. You can bake them, toss them, add them to your sandwich, or have them as a "chia-gel" - six parts water, one part chia, then let it sit for fifteen minutes.

You can pretty much do anything you like with chia. The point is, add it to your meal and you'll require fewer calories to satiate your appetite. And with fewer calories, you've got fewer inches on your waistline.

What's the easiest way to burn calories? The tread mill ain't easy. Neither are aerobics or running a half marathon. Frankly, we think the easiest way to lose calories is to let your body burn them for you. The secret? Build muscle.

Generally speaking, a pound of muscle burns about 30 calories each day. Ten pounds of muscle is 300 less calories you have to think about. And the building block of muscle is protein.

There are variations, of course. Age, gender and overall health levels all contribute to your metabolic rate and how many calories your muscles burn through the course of the day. But muscle burns calories, whether you're a man or a woman. One again, chia's got you covered.

Chia is a rare non-animal source of protein, with all the essential amino acids and substantially higher levels of muscle-building protein than found in wheat, oatmeal, or even barley. Bursting with protein, chia is an excellent fuel for the gym, with few calories, and feeds the muscles that will burn calories off your figure while you work, sleep, or do pretty much anything you please! More
