I’m a nurse and I often hear patients complaining about how expensive Wegovy and Ozempic are. In addition to being expensive sometimes they’re hard to obtain and there are potential bad side effects as well. Using healthy foods as your medicine seems like a much better alternative. 🍏🥒💚

I have heard that the bioavailability of chia seeds is greatly enhanced by grinding them first. This meal is not low calorie to me - it has about 500 calories in it, but it does have 12 gm protein, 19 gm fat and 20 gm of fiber. I cannot eat a 500 calorie cold meal in the morning or at any other time. Plus I need oat bran for cholesterol control too. I might switch from flax seed to chia seeds in my morning oats or add it to my regular smoothie instead though and see if it helps with weight loss. My largest meal is usually lunch these days but none of my meals reach 500 calories. With IBS and microscopic colitis I can’t eat that much at one sitting.

Anyway, I was told I should consider Wegovy but I want to get off all meds not add more unless it is natural medicine and/or vitamins…SO…that said, I wonder if this method of yours should still be ok for me being that 80% of my stomach is gone and I don’t want to overstretch my sleeve either.

I actually really enjoyed the taste and texture but adding 1/2 a scoop of a vanilla collagen/multivitamin powder made it really really good.

You should be able to split it up if it's too much for you. Have the rest later in the day. Store it in a refrigerator and eat within 12 hours. All blenders aren't created equal. I use the Hauswirt blender. Awesome. You shouldn't be hungry in 2 hours. If you do get hungry though have the leftover

He said oat milk is his preference

I stumbled upon the wonders of Chia seeds because I'm am... or was a rice pudding addict, but I was trying to shift my eating habits to healthier alternatives so I could get back in shape. I started making a rice pudding substitute with Chia Seeds, oat or soy milk, cinnamon and vanilla, and a teaspoon of sugar. It tastes great I don't even miss the pudding lol. Took the recipe straight from first page of google, and have been eating one serving every morning with breakfast. I definitely notice I don't get hungry throughout the day at work and am able to subsist on water or a plain coffee until I get home. This is great because work was my primary pitfall as there's a lot of unhealthy food options in and around it, and I found myself eating something really high calorie for lunch nearly every day. Now, I have my eggs and chia pudding in the am, then come home and eat something healthy that I have prepared at home. Weight loss is slow because I am also taking protein and hitting the weights in the gym, but I've definitely gone down a pant size since I started having only lost 5 lbs :)

Way to go! Since you’re working out instead of weight loss you’re probably building muscle mass.. trust me when you reach 57, that muscle mass will be a blessing. I’ve noticed my muscle mass is deteriorating. Way to go!!!

I'm sorry Doc but I just can't believe this taste good! I'm sure it's good for me but not tasty at all! I'll try it regardless

This is really good and safe idea to loose, thank you Dr Joe. I sent you a question in one of your past videos that what do you have to explain to us about drinking clove water morning and night before meal. Could there be any side effects? I will be happy if you can talk about cloves

Cloves are very powerful. We make a smoothie with bananas, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, plain yogurt, apple juice and cloves and Ceylon cinnamon. I don't think I would want to try it with water.

Loved this video! I'm so glad I stumbled acrossed it! As an appetizer how much milk did you use and should it be consumed before every meal?

All of it is supposed to be a meal replacement. Replace one meal a day with it. 3/4 cup

Oat milk, although vegan which is good, but it is higher in carbs than other choices!!

Then use your preferred plant-based milk instead of the oat milk. Not a problem

Great idea, but I’d be burping cucumber for DAYS, lol! 😂

Hi Dr. Joe. Is this pudding to be eaten before each meal? And how much? After I eat it will I have an appetite at all for the meal? Thanks, Susan

It is a meal for me because of the amount of chia seeds in there. But of course you can use it as a dessert if you like. How much? All of it. Just follow the recipe but you may use fewer tablespoons of chia seeds

Hi Dr Joe Linking this video to the video you spoke about reducing cholesterol with chia seeds. … I want to ask 2 questions A. Will the smoothie bowl also help reduce cholesterol? B. To reduce cholesterol and also lose weight can one drink the chia seed mixture before or after the main meal ( I know the smoothie bowl should come before a meal but can it also help reduce cholesterol if taken before a meal??) Or should a chia seed intervention be taken both before ( to fill the stomach a bit ) and after a meal to help clean up the fats and cholesterol in the gut? I don’t know if I made sense ….

@drjoetvMD

Yes, the smoothie will help you lower your cholesterol. As for your 2nd question, the smoothie bowl is designed to be a meal replacement. Not eaten before or after a meal. It replaces one meal

That’s a BIG Smoothie Bowl! How many servings are in that bowl? If this is an appetizer, I can’t imagine eating anything else after finishing off the bowl. Should what’s in the bowl be divided into thirds and 1/3 each eaten before breakfast, lunch & dinner?

You can use it any way you like but the original idea is to use it as a meal replacement. If it is too much for you as one meal, then split it up, use one half and use the other later in the day

I have some texture issues, I can handle the chia seeds and almond milk pudding, but will this work just as well if I just eat the cucummber, celery and green apple diced up and put in the pudding instead of blended?

In my opinion, no. It's dry food and in my books I consume dry foods that are past their 'Best Before' dates without any untoward effects

I think your diet needs a complete overhaul seeing as you love ice cream sandwich. Something tells me you have a sweet tooth

Can we make the smoothie and pour into multiple cups and keep for a whole week in the refrigerator? Would there be fermentation? Would there be any interactions between the plant products blended together?
