Are there diet pills that we do like? Yes - quite a few actually. When we rate diet pills we look at a variety of factors including: ingredients, customer feedback (which is why we allow you to post your reviews) and the satisfaction guarantee (if there is one). There are a few diet pills that have received extremely high marks across the board, and our favorite is Apidexin. You can read our review or go to the official site. The Chia Diet
What is The Chia Diet?
Just when you thought you’d heard of every diet out there, here comes the ch-ch-ch-CHIA diet! Wh-wh-wh-wh-WHAT?
My friends all had a selection of them; clown head chias, a variety of animal chias, people head chias, movie character chias. And me? Chia-less-and now unable to keep a plant alive as an adult. (Yes I’m sure it will come up in counseling.)
Now it seems the chia seed has another use besides supplying the fro on a pottery head. Apparently it’s being regaled as the new SUPER FOOD, providing more omega-3’s in 4 ounces than a 32-ounce salmon steak, magnesium than in 10 stalks of broccoli, and calcium than a couple cups of milk. AND-they may help you to lose weight.
Don’t get too excited, there’s no actual clinical proof that chia seeds assist with weight loss, but they may help slow the digestive process of converting carbohydrates into sugars. In a gel form they expand in the stomach giving you a feeling of fullness, and can be added to cake mixes as a replacement for eggs and oil. Chia seeds are also thought to regulate blood sugars which control hunger. Still, this is all hearsay, and you’d have to judge for yourself if weight loss is a positive result of consuming chia seeds.
The health benefits may be worth exploring, however. A 2007 study conducted on diabetes patients rendered some positive results. Patients took a form of chia seed called salba in the amount of 4 tablespoons a day for 3 months. Recorded outcome included a reduction in blood clotting and inflammation problems by about 30%; and systolic blood pressure dropped by six units.
So how do incorporate them into your diet? Well, as previously mentioned you can make them into a gel and incorporate into recipes, or simply swallow the stuff down (gag.) It’s purportedly tasteless and odorless, but there’s the ‘texture’ problem to consider (at least I have to consider it.) To turn chia seeds into gel form mix 1 part chia to 9 parts water in an airtight container and allow steeping time for about five minutes. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for a couple of minutes. Take out and mix again; refrigerate. The mixture will stay fresh for a couple of weeks. It can be added to jams, spreads, baked goods, etc. You can also toast the seeds to eliminate any gooiness (gag), or sprinkle them dry over cereal, salads, yoghurt; or anywhere you can invent to sprinkle (sprinkling on a Big Mac probably won’t assist with the weight loss aspect of using chia seeds in your diet.)
Chia seeds are somewhat expensive at around $7 for a 1-ounce bag (1 ounces is not much, folks), but they may be worth the cost when you consider how healthy they are. You can find them online at a number of retailers including Amazon, and we’re certain your local health food store will carry them.
Bottom line, as a ‘diet’ we wouldn’t recommend using chia seeds. We can’t see them working as an effective appetite suppressant, and certainly not as a fat burner. But as a ‘health food’ we give them two enthusiastic thumbs up. And if you tire of sprinkling or swallowing them, you can always resurrect your old chia collection. (We know you couldn’t bring yourself to throw away them away.)
As for me, I might finally go buy a chia pet, and make peace with my childhood; although I’m sure it’ll be dead inside of a week (and yes, I’m considering counseling.)
