Customer Reviews of Chia Seeds 3 Pound (Chemical Free)
Customer Review: Good price but not what I expected
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me start out first by saying that my review is a review based off of my experience and is not to deter anyone from buying this product. I'm writing this review based off of my own observation and usage of this product.
I take Omega 3 fish oil pills. I've been doing so since 2005. My cholesterol level went from 150 to 125 and that makes me feel truly great. Since I knew these Omega 3's were helping me, I decided to purchase more. While I was doing so I came across this chia seed description. What caught my eye was that it stated that it was 3 times as better as the Omega 3 and learned it did more that what the Omega 3 pills are suppose to do so I decided to buy the 3lb bag instead of my regular fish oil pills. I purchased them Feb. 2 and started taking them on Feb. 6. By close to the end of last month I stopped taking these chia seeds because of the amount of weight I gained. Back in Dec. '08 I weighed 128 lbs. My weight fluctuates between this and 132. Two weeks ago I was at 141lbs!! No lie. I'm 34 years old and this is the first time in my entire life I ever weighed that much. These chia seeds doesn't curb your appetite at all. The water these seeds absorbs comes back on you. Now I will admit it did help my intestines and my urine was straw yellow gold but I couldn't tell if it did anything else. I didn't have extra energy, it didn't hydrate me at all when I did my work out. I did the treadmill 3 times a week at 30 minutes each, cardio for another 3 weeks at 30-45 minutes each, and the only thing I gained from those chia seeds was an extra 9lbs in three weeks. Since I've gone back to my Omega 3 fish oil pills my weight has gone back down to 133. Now I have 2lbs of chia seeds in my cabinet collecting dust. I never want to weigh this much again.
Customer Review: packaged poorly
Summary: 1 Stars
I recieved my 3# bag(s) of chia seeds today and the packaging left much to be desired. the bag that held the majority of the seeds was open on top and there were seeds everywhere. it appears that someone saw that the bag was open as that bag was wrapped in outer paper in an attempt to fix it??? In addition, a smaller bag of seeds was stuck to the larger bag, I presume to make up the 3#'s? There was no good way to remove the smaller bag w/out making another tear in the larger bag. I will find another source for my chia seeds.
