Why is your breakfast crucial for weight loss
He explains, “If you are struggling with weight loss and constant hunger, you can try chia seeds or basil seeds. Incorporating them into your diet can make a noticeable difference in your life.”
These seeds, he adds, are packed with probiotics, which help improve digestion and support a healthy gut. “Chia seeds, in particular, can reduce your overall calorie intake throughout the day,” says Dr Vatsya, noting that they help control appetite and curb unnecessary snacking.
How can chia and basil seeds help
He further recommends consistency, “If you consume them for about 30 days, you will notice that you feel full for at least four hours after eating. You might even find that the heavy breakfasts you used to have, like parathas, become less necessary.”
According to Dr Vatsya, adding chia or basil seeds to your morning routine is a simple, natural way to stay full, manage cravings, and support healthy weight loss without drastic changes to your diet.
