    No in my experience I would need a cup full soaked for 3 hours to actually do anything.

    They are a wonderful addition to smoothies for me. They add about 5g of fiber for such a small amount! Other than that though, I haven't noticed a difference in the way it makes me feel hunger wise. My body is like a clock though and I have to fuel/feed it every 4 hours or I become quite the grump.

    I use chia seeds on my protein shake but I soak the seeds in water first, 1/3 water per tablespoon of seeds. I use mainly to increase fibre and it seems to give me a bit more satisfaction than plain protein drink. I also have a serving of large flake oats so it all keeps me satisfied till lunch time.
