Dietitians Say You Should Add This Fat-Blasting Ingredient To Your Oatmeal Every Morning–It’s So Good For Weight Loss!

Chia Seeds

Oatmeal is already packed with fiber and protein, but adding chia seeds to the mix can really pump it up both texture-wise and health-wise—especially if you want to boost your metabolism to burn fat faster than ever before. "Fiber has been shown to support a healthy metabolism and aid in weight loss, and adding in chia seeds is a super simple way to sneak in more fiber," Mitri points out. Thanks to all the fiber they provide (in addition to other nutrients like protein and healthy carbs and fats), chia seeds act as a natural weight loss since they can keep you satisfied longer.

Hunnes seconds this, noting that these seeds are "extremely high in protein and fiber and hold onto 10x its weight in water," and are therefore "very satisfying, making oatmeal stick-to-your-ribs a bit better."

It doesn't stop there, either. Not only are these life-changing seeds filled with fiber to keep you fuller for longer, but they also offer anti-inflammatory benefits that can help your body stay happy and healthy.
