Are sunflower seeds good for dieting?

loosingweight2feelgood · February 2012

Hello everyone...

Lately i have a big addiction to sunflower seeds... I have heard some mixed reviews regarding sunflower seeds..

Some state they are good for you.. others state they are way too high in fat..

Does anyone care to share any information?

Thank You

I think they have the good kind of fat & allegedly they help burn belly fat. I have been eating 3 teaspoons a day for a couple weeks, no major changes yet...;)

i eat them all the time. i love the flavored ones, but really have to watch the sodium...i think one serving has like 1300mg >.>
but i get shelled ones too, i love em in salad!

although I watch out for eating too many, since they are loaded with calories !

I have no clue if they help your diet, but I love eating them with raisins

Good fats mostly...just remember, moderation in all things.
Even moderation :-)
