Hi Jeff,

What are your thoughts on chia seeds? Are they fattening ? I can run further and faster with them, but I also want to lose more weight. I am currently 5 kg above my target weight of 65 kg.

Will I gain weight or struggle to lose weight if I eat them ? At the moment, I add one table spoon over my rolled oats.

Is it better to use them after my target weight ?

Nothing special. A concentrated source of omega 3's. You can include them in small amounts, a tb or two a day if you would like.



No one food is ever fattening. Dietary patterns and lifestyles are fattening and calorie dense foods are easy to overeat on.



No one food, that is truly a food, can make you run further and faster.



Than you need to follow a dietary pattern that is focused on low calorie dense foods and be active.

I would recommend you review the hot topics on calorie density and also the principles of the MWL program.

In Health
