Back in January i started eating hemp hearts (they are legal in Canada but from what i heard when i traveled into the states they aren't legal to take across the border)
Hemp hearts are basically hemp seeds. They taste similar to almonds.
If you eat 3 tbs of them in the morning with a fruit or with yogurt they supposedly keep you from getting hungry and snacking later on in the afternoon.
Basically they can suppress appetite, lower cholesterol, help with constipation
a link to info about them from a Canadian place is

I've found that eating them in the morning they are right im not as inclined to snack through out the day...possibly because of the fiber in them theres more in my stomach and its all stuff that your body needs not fatty stuff you dont.

Have they helped you at all? I would be interested in learning about if they work or not, even though they aren't legal here in the United States. Fun discussion! I love to hear about new things like this.

I've found that the days i do eat them i'm less likely to snack. Which is a good thing. I actually started eating them after my mom had such good success losing weight when eating them.
Between them and exercise and cutting out chips/sodas ive lost 15 pounds since the 24th of january
Ive also found that i'm not having as many basd reactions to foods im allergic to
(i was reading the info sheet about them tonight that came with the pail and it says it helps reduce allergic reactions too)
