    Well, I don't think of it as 'using ' it...I do eat it, try to get a tablespoon or two every day. It is a good source of selenium which is a micronutrient not contained in a whole lot of foods. It's delicious, I know that. Been eating it for years.

    I use it sometimes, but not for controling my appitite or weightloss. I used it for extra fiber when needed, lol. I haven't seen much help in controlling my craving though. I add it to yogurt, cereal and oatmeal.

    I'm pretty sure I've read more than once that selenium is important for blood sugar control; controlling blood sugar should help a lot with cravings.
