Can i have without lemon ???, For past 1 month iam taking this drink with chia seeds soaked , honey and warm water in both morning and night. I didn''t feel any difference !!!. Lemon makes me sneeze and and make high head ache and cold. Can u suggest some plz.
Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
Yes, but lemon will give the Vitamin C and taste. Since you are on weight loss you may want to drop the honey. This drink minus the honey is good for all. Your weight loss depends on tons of factors. Are you stress free, are you sleeping 8 hours a day, do you eat healthy and lastly you need to exercise 6 days a week. All of this is a circle of fitness and must be followed.

Hi Jean, Chia Seeds is a healthy seed to consume on a daily basis. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to raise HDL cholesterol. Chia seeds are rich in fibre and high in protein. They provide a long slow release of energy which is great for endurance athletes and fat burning. Consume this as your daily heathy diet. I am part of the Tarla Dalal team and have been taking it for 3 years daily!

Chia seeds have a tendency to absorb water and swell. We have recommended 1 hour of soaking in 2 cups of water. So if you soak overnight, you may have to adjust the quantity of water used.
