I cant believe it, its like human catnip, Ive not been on it a day and already Im stiring it into everything and am as relaxed and laid back as I used to be on moggies!

Its not like getting off your head, its a feeling of erm well being I guess, but its an actual feeling.
Ive read a lot on the stuff, its new over here but it has some amazing qualities, look it up, I was introduced to it from a muscle building point of view, and told it gives energy etc, not sure if this feeling is that or if its the other stuff they say it does, like helps your neurons and brain activity....its a bit bizarre tbh that a few teaspoons of seeds of the mint family can do so much good

an old mexican  tribe called the tarahuma use it on long runs.
on runners world forum it gets mixed reveiws.
they run different from the normal way on their toes not heals.
this is wear the craze of the barefoot runner comes from.
read the link  to read about chia seeds used in a drink called iskate,
and their diet.

I'm going to get some and try it after seeing a food lable plus it's cheap.
do you have to get any particular type?

judorick wakes up at 4am to ingest it via his back passage.  He says it helps stabilisie his innate need to repeatedly share all his greatest achievements on an anonymous forum and ensures that he always has a substantially green book in every market that he trades on.

I've just ordered some to add to my morning smoothie, anyway Dustybin what are moggies?

Correct EGG, but not hypnotic in the trippy sense, it was just reference the the relaxed feeling that was similar
I'm not suggesting anyone takes benzodiazepine drugs other than where prescribed, and although a natural superfood, Chia is as of now unregulated other than to be added in the making of bread (in this country) so if u do decide to find out its qualities then its your choice.
That said it makes me laugh really that these seeds were only really discovered a couple of decades ago, and only recently have been introduced to this country, it just goes to show that alcohol and tabaco firms get centuries to f uck up the nation and something that's good for you takes so long to arrive.
Chia contains something like 8 times more omega 3 than salmon and has 18 of the known 20 something amino acids. It's quite remarkable and so easy it add to any diet.
The 'buzz' I experienced on reflection sort of originated from my chest area, and might actually simply have been my body actually getting the minerals it's been crying out for rather than a drug experience.
I have a tendency to not get all the vitamins etc and sometimes feel like the gears grind in my mind. Within a couple of days this has completely gone, I had got so used to the feeling I thought it was just the aging and (dare I say drug misuse) catching up with me

The leaf
I assume its just the chia seed, mix it with stuff.

I'm certainly going to give it a bash and I see that Holland ^ Barrett have it.

On the basis of "all things in moderation" I wonder if you can overdose on it!

I get it from a local fitness shop.
I didn't take much notice of the price tbh, the protein powder etc is pretty pricy so didn't really bother looking.
Like a poster mentioned I believe that holland and barrat place sells it.

the seeds that it

Got mine off of Amazon, looks like I've overpaid though if GC got a 1kg bag for 13 pounds. Nevermind.

I think you just sprinkle them as they are.  Google tells me that if you soak them in water they form a 'chia-gel' that's good for smoothies and things but I'm fairly sure you can just add a tea spoon to soups, puddings, etc etc.

The place I got mine was here:

placebo

what are they like rolled with a joint.

Grandpa chook got it right.
They are versatile, you can sprinkle em or soak em to form the gel. It's also accurate that you shouldn't really have then with everything, just a few teaspoons a day, I just got carried away mixing em with all sorts.
The guys at the fitness shop gave me this little book about chia, it lists about 55 ways of taking em, but its pretty much common sense.

Oldgold, is that true, u felt light headed on em?
I've not seen that mentioned.

Well should get mine on Monday, I have a fruit smoothie every morning which I'm going to add them to. What do you reckon 3 teaspoons?

Are thse moggies like Valium?

I'm not on any prescription drugs btw, although am thinking about it. Will try anything natural first.

Ok cheers mate, just never heard of moggies before and I've had a few different things thats all.

2 teaspoons it will be then, looking forward to trying them.

Yeah no worries, I just get carried away whenever I hear about new stuff that's all. Forget it.

I've completely changed my diet over the last 3 years and have lost 2 stone even though I still eat like a pig. Cutting out sugar, processed food and just basically thinking about what I'm eating. It's not hard.
