Looking at the nutrition profile of chia seeds, you see that an ounce
has 12 grams of “carbohydrate.”However 11 of those grams are fiber,
which isn’t digested by the body. The true carb content is only 1 gram per ounce, which
is very low. This makes chia a low-carb friendly
food. Because of all the fiber, chia seeds can absorb up to 10-12 times their
weight in water, becoming gel-like and expanding in your stomach Theoretically, this should increase fullness, slow absorption of your
food and help you automatically eat
fewer calories. Fiber also feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestine, which is
important because keeping your gut bugs well
fed is absolutely crucial for health Chia seeds are 40% fiber, by weight. This makes them one of the best sources
of fiber in the world.
