They provide a fairly good amount of plant protein to help with metabolism and with maintaining lean muscle mass while losing weight.

Taking a tablespoon or two of chia seeds in water or yogurt keeps hunger pangs at bay and curbs unnecessary snacking.

Chia works wonders for digestion and prevents constipation when you are increasing fiber intake and otherwise adjusting your diet to lose weight-real important stuff.

Chia slows the digestion of carbohydrates to prevent blood sugar spikes, which trigger fat storage and crazy cravings.

Stick to 1–2 tablespoons a day. Too much chia may cause bloating or digestive discomfort if not taken with enough water.
