How Many People Use Chia Seeds?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how many chia users there are here & what you are paying for the seeds. I just got my first bag (1lb) and they were kinda expensive.

I found a place in AZ that will wholesale them to me but I'd have to buy forty four 1.5lb bags.

10$ seems to be the going price, so they are kinda expensive but dang well worth it, I have never been as regular as I am when I started using these. I still have to use Mirilax too, the chia seeds just seem to make me more comfortable, when I took Mirilax alone I had a lot of urgency.

According to my research the black has a bit more antioxidants, whereas the whitis slightly higher in Protein. The difference is really so minimal tgat I don't think it really matters.

I think if I were trying for maximum health benifit I'd go for the black because I already get plenty of Protein.

I bought some for hunger, tried them once and hated how they expanded. :( Now I'll try them quickly and see what happens. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
