Chia seeds help you lose weight quickly because they have a lot of soluble fiber and protein. They soak up a lot of water and then swell up, making you feel fuller than you really are. The protein makes you less hungry, which should also make you eat less food. Studies have shown that consuming chia seeds alone won’t help you lose weight if you don’t change anything else in your diet or lifestyle. While eating more chia seeds is good for your health and weight loss, reducing the number of calories you eat or increasing the amount of exercise you do will definitely aid in weight loss. You’ll lose weight faster if you add chia seeds to your diet.
