    I have used chia seeds before workouts. They are a good form of sustained energy. I would mix them with some liquid of flavor. They become jelly like when mixed with liquid. I've also mixed with water and a little honey.

    I don't know that they're any better for weight loss than anything else, but I do love a nice chia seed pudding. You can even make a chocolate one! :)

    Chia seeds don't do anything for weight loss. People will tell you that they swell in your stomach, making you feel full, but they're pretty calorie dense and you'd need to eat about 200 calories worth of them to start to get that effect.
