SUN CHIA, is a special blend of chia seed, quinoa, camu camu and other 100% natural herbs and spices. As one of the foundation foods of The Nutraseed Diet, Sun Chia gives you one of the world’s richest whole food sources of Omega 3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, protein and magnesium as well as other nutritionally healthy benefits. When mixed with water the soluable fiber in Sun Chia, a gel-like reaction occurs and begins to slowly release carbohydrates and slows the conversion of carbs into glucose (blood sugar) for energy. Studies have shown that the same gel-forming occurrence takes place in the stomach when food containing these gummy fibers, known as mucilages, are eaten. The hydrophilic properties of Sun Chia have the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weight in water, which helps the body remain hydrated. When added to food or drink, it displaces calories and fat without diluting flavor. With Sun Chia, your body retains moisture, more efficiently regulating your body ’s absorption of nutrients and body fluids. You also experience the feeling of fullness, which helps reduce that empty feeling and your cravings for food.
SUN CHIA IS NOT JUST FOR DIETERS. SUN CHIA CAN BE EASILY INCORPORATED INTO ANYONE’S DAILY DIET. One scoop of Sun Chia equals 15 grams. Percent of daily values based on a daily 2,000 calorie diet. Calories 50, calories from fat 44, total fat 4.9g,trans fat 0, Omega –3 (ALA) 3g, Omega 6 (LA) 1g, Cholesterol og, sodium 0.5mg, carbohydrates available 0.1g, dietary fiber 6.1g, sugars 0g, protein 3.1g, calcium 107mg, iron 2.4mg, zinc 0.5 mg, potassium 105 mg, magnesium 59mg and phosperous 160mg Antioxidants: (antioxidants include myrecedin, quercedin, caffeic, kaemferol, chlorogenic acid, copper)
PACKAGING: All Nutraseed International, Inc.’s products come dually packed for optimum protection and freshness. One bucket of Sun Chia, based on the diet’s recommended usage of 2 scoops a day, will last one month.

SUN CHIA A POWER HOUSE OF NUTRITION SUN CHIA HAS MORE... MORE...OMEGA 3 THAN SALMON Sun Chia is rich Omega 3, the unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic, which the body cannot manufacture on its own and are the essential oils your body needs to help emulsify and absorb fat soluble vitamins. Studies have shown that eating the right types of fat can help you burn fat calories. Sun Chia has no added artificial or natural antioxidants, therefore, it has a long shelf life and needs no refrigeration. MORE...ANTIOXIDANTS THAN BLUEBERRIES Antioxidants work as a type of defense mechanism in your body to help rid itself of dangerous radicals, which are associated with serious health issues. Although your body creates some antioxidants on its own, it also needs antioxidants from outside sources. Sun Chia is also rich in Zinc, which is an antioxidant important for maintaining a healthy immune system. MORE...CALCIUM THAN MILK Sun Chia is a rich source of calcium as it contains important mineral boron, which aids in the absorption and use of calcium by the body. Calcium reduces body weight by binding together fat in the intestines and increasing the rate of its expulsion from the body. Studies have shown that a high intake of calcium in your diet aids in weight loss and lose of fat.
MORE...IRON THAN SPINACH The iron in Sun Chia is an important factor in weight loss, because your body needs iron to produce red blood cells, which are required to oxygenate and burn fat and calories. MORE...FIBER THAN FLAXSEED Sun Chia helps create a feeling of fullness, which helps control your cravings. Its dietary fiber helps support a healthy digestive tract and also helps to promote natural detoxification. MORE...MAGNESIUM THAN BROCCOLI The magnesium in Sun Chia helps regulate potassium and sodium in the body as well as aids in the building of strong bones, teeth and muscles. Improper magnesium levels in your body can trigger cravings. MORE...FOLATE THAN ASPARAGUS Folate is needed in the body to produce and maintain new cells. Sun Chia has more folate than asparagus and other foods high in folate and also boosts metabolism. MORE...POTASSIUM THAN BANANA Sun Chia contains high levels of potassium, which helps muscles and also helps convert the food we eat into energy. This is particularly important to you while achieving your weight loss goals.
Health agencies around the world agree that humans should ing est e ssential fatty acids in an Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio of about 4:1 . A workshop by the U.S. Nationall I nstitute of Health demonstrated t he impressiv e benefits of a balanced Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio in your diet: reduced risk of atherosclerosis, sudden cardiac death and certain ty pes of cancers, decrease in the symptoms of r heumatoid arthritis, mood improv ement in bipolar disorders and o ptimiz ed dev elopment in infants.

THE “O” IS FOR OMEGA NUTRA-O, also a foundation food of The Nutraseed Diet, is a natural blend of hulled hemp seed and grains, herbs and spices. Nutra-O is an excellent balance of easily digestible proteins, Omega 3 and 6 (essential fats), fiber, iron, vitamins, calcium, amino acids and enzymes.
NOT ALL FAT IS BAD… YOUR BODY NEEDS FAT Research has found that a deficiency in the Omega-6 essential fatty acid, Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA), can actually inhibit healthy weight loss, in fact, studies have suggested that obesity is linked with low levels GLA. GLA assists in weight loss by significantly increasing metabolism and encouraging stored fat to effectively be used for energy.
T he ingredients in Nutra-O offer an Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio of 3:1 o r less, depending on plant v ariety. This exceeds the target ratio o f 4:1 and compensates in part for Omega 3 deficiencies in the r est of our diet.
PROTEIN POWER NUTRA-O contains all the essential amino acids necessar y to m aintain a healthy life...making it a complete protein. I t contains the essential amino acids that the body cannot produce in adeq uate amounts, therefore, making it higher in protein than meat, egg whites, whey protein and soy. Protein is the fundamental building block for our muscles and it is important that these same muscles be supplied with daily doses of high q uality protein. Nutra-O ’s protein content also contains high lev els of amino acids, which are crucial in the repair and growth of lean body mass. Two-thirds of this protein is made up of two globular proteins: alubumin 33% and edestine 67%, which hav e similar protein to wh at your body produces, making it easily digestible. B oth of these hi gh q uality storage proteins are easily digested and contain n utritionally significant amounts of all essential amino acids.

NUTRA-O HEALTHY BENEFITS
When consuming Nutra-O your body obtains much of what it needs w ithout the calories of non-essential nutrients.
Studies and reports have suggested that the ingredients used in Nutra-O have many healthy benefits including:
Great tasting Nutra-O can be eaten alone or combined with y our f ood choices. M any people who hav e started eating Nutro-O e ach day, found that they changed their way of eating (new lifesty le).

Stony Brook, nutrition professor Margaret McNurlan, PhD., your body slows down your metabolism. The result is that you burn fewer calories. The antidote? Eating metabolism-boosting foods like whole grain.” WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL is a great & healthy source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, which are what’s needed to keep your metabolism pumped by keeping insulin levels low after a meal. Eating whole grain cereal with 2 scoops of Nutra-O is one excellent choice to start your day. To keep your caloric intake down, we suggest using skim or low fat milk, soy or other alternatives with higher levels of calcium. (Milk contains calcium which acts as a metabolic trigger and also is a rich source of complex carbohydrates, which can also boost your metabolism.)

license to binge on starchy foods. Not all whole grains products are created equally, in particular, check the sugar content of products. For instance, in cereals 5 grams of sugar or less are acceptable. Buying whole grain foods can be challenging so you always want to read the ingredient list and look for labels that read 100% whole grain or whole wheat. Cereals, breads, crackers and pastas are a few of the main types of whole grain products available to you. Labels that read “made with” whole grain or “contain” whole grain are most likely full of sugar and are less nutritious. The idea of whole grain on your diet is to eliminate the refined grains as used in white bread.
On their website, The American Diabetes Association states, “For all cereals and grains, read the ingredient list and look for the following sources of whole grain as the first ingredient.”

PEANUT BUTTER ~ Despite the high fat content of peanut butter, a small amount of peanut butter provides a lot of healthy fat and a good amount of energy. A peanut butter sandwich with 1 tablespoon of all natural or low sugar peanut butter (if possible) on whole wheat bread and 1 scoop of Nutra-O (add sugar-free jelly if desired) is a healthy way to enjoy lunch.
A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF YOUR DAY
A Purdue University study published in the International Journal of Obesity showed subjects who snacked on peanuts and peanut butter were shown to self adjust their caloric intake spontaneously and did not add extra calories to their daily diet. After participants consumed the snack of peanuts or peanut butter, their hunger was reduced for 2 ½ hours. Some healthy choices include a small handful of almonds, walnuts, brazil, peanuts and pecans. GREEN TEA is naturally abundant in a unique class of compounds known as catechin polyphenols, which have a number of health benefits. Green tea consumption can boost metabolic rate and increase the body’s fat burning. ThisGREEN makes green tea another choice in becoming a good part of our nutritional weight loss plan.
TEA
Having already consumed your first food of the day, 1 scoop of Sun Chia with 16 oz. of cold water, it is important to remember you have only received half of your daily requirement of 2 scoops of Sun Chia per day. Many people do not like or are not in the habit of drinking 8 glasses of water each day and few studies have been done to determine if the practice actually speeds weight loss. However, an important part of staying healthy is to stay hydrated. By taking your Sun Chia, as previously stated, your body retains moisture, which helps regulate in the absorption of nutrients and body fluids. An excellent way to receive your next scoop with 16 oz. of water would be during your mid-morning snack or 30 minutes prior to having any meal. This is not only healthy, it gives you the feeling of fullness, which helps reduce hunger pains and food cravings.

V E G G I E S A N D W I C H ~ This easy to make option made with 2 slices of whole wheat bread, wheat pita or even a wheat wrap and raw veggies will add plenty of nutrients and ver y few calories if made properly. Vegetables like bell peppers, tomato, carrots, cucumbers, onions, sprouts, and lettuce will all add to your daily intake of healthful produce. Remember certain ingredients like mayonnaise, cheese and other fat laced items will defeat the purpose of your diet. If you think you must have them opt for the low fat cheese and the same goes with dressings, use low fat salad dressings, mayo, etc. Items like mustard or horseradish are excellent choices and are virtually fat free, plus the spicy content helps boost your metabolism. If you follow the guidelines above, vegetable sandwiches from restaurants can be a healthy option, e.g. Subway ’s Veggie Deli.
Add Nutra-O, or Sun Chia for an even healthier sandwich.
HEALTHY SANDWICHES
TUNA FISH ~ Although tempting, the 500 calorie plus 6” Subway tuna sandwich is not a good substitute for a sandwich prepared with healthier ingredients. Tuna fish is a relatively low-calorie seafood and is rich in protein and contains minimal carbohydrates and fat. If you ’re going to have a tuna (canned in water or fresh) sandwich we suggest using items such as onion, tomatoes, lettuce, pickle and celer y with olive oil or yogurt dressing. If you ’re not satisfied with the taste of yogurt or olive oil tr y a minimal amount of a no fat salad dressing or low fat mayonnaise (check out the sugar level of these condiments) on whole wheat bread or over a salad. Then, add 1 scoop of Sun Chia. Note: the Sun Chia has no taste of its’ own, therefore, allowing you to experience the true taste of the food.
In the May 2008 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition explains that protein can enhance feelings of fullness more than other nutrients, making high protein foods like tuna effective for weight loss.
KEEP SCOOPIN’
YOGURT ~ Low fat or no fat yogurt is good for breakfast, lunch or a snack, just add 1 scoop of NUTRA-O or Sun Chia, stir and eat. Yogurt has a lot going for it, especially when it comes to dieting. Not only does it provide calcium and protein, along with great taste, it is loaded with nutrients as well as good bacteria for your digestive tract. It is best to use plain yogurt or Greek yogurt and enhance by adding fresh blueberries, strawberries, our snack pack or other fruit low in sugar. A research team at Har vard Medical School reported in the June 23, 2011 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine i t s l a t e s t a n a l y s i s o f t h e N u r s e s ’ H e a l t h S t u d y, t h e N u r s e s ’ H e a l t h S t u d y I I a n d t h e H e a l t h P r o f e s s i o n a l s Fo l l o w- u p S t u d y.

but all salads are also not created equally. When choosing or making a salad, common sense will have to prevail. For instance, a choice of a taco salad at one of the fast food Mexican restaurants or dressings that accompany some of those healthy looking salads will most likely negate the nutritional value of the salad, plus add unwanted calories. Food items like salmon, chicken and beans mixed with those leafy greens like romaine as well as vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, and peppers will give your body nutrients. One of the most popular types of lettuce is iceberg, however, it has ver y little nutritional value. By adding a Nutraseed Snack Pack when having a salad, this crunchy-chewy addition will not only add taste and nutrition, it will give you 1 scoop of Nutra-O (See our recipes for salad dressing.)
an excellent way for you to add nutritional value to your weight loss program. Not only does soup give you a feeling of fullness, it is another excellent way to take 1 scoop of Sun Chia or Nutra-O. Note: not all soups are created equally. Most cream soups are made from heavy cream and butter, which certainly should be avoided. Vegetables, beans, chicken, whole grain pastas and brown rice are food items which help deliver nutrition to your body. Tr y some of our soup recipes, or use your own favorite recipe.

POULTRY (serving size per meal 3—5 oz.) ~ Skinless chicken is another example of protein stimulating your metabolic rate, which makes you feel full and cuts back on your desire to eat. In comparing a 4 oz. chicken breast with and without the skin the result was that the 4 oz. of chicken breast, with the skin, equaled 188 calories, 49% from fat versus the 4 oz. of skinless chicken breast, which

Association states, “Research shows that getting plenty of protein can boost your metabolism, causing you to burn an extra 150 to 200 calories a day. Protein is made up mainly of amino acids, which are harder for your body to break down (than fat and carbs), so you burn more calories getting rid of them.”

SUGARS AND WEIGHT LOSS ~ If you can’t see yourself seriously reducing your sugar from your diet, then this diet is not for you. Sugar does not work with The Nutraseed Diet. In fact, it doesn’t work with any weight loss program.
S U G A R S AND
The average American consumes 2-3 pounds of sugar each week. We are talking about simple sugars. On their own, simple sugars have no vitamins, no minerals and, simply, have no nutritional value. When reviewing food labels these sugars can be listed as cane sugar, palm sugar, brown sugar, glucose (dextrose), high-fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses, raw sugar, (table) sugar and (sucrose) syrup. After looking at this list, it becomes obvious that your goal should be to reduce sugar not eliminate it. Let’s face it...it’s everywhere. What you need to realize is that most of the sugar you eat comes from processed food, not the sugar that you add to your meals and cooking. Therefore, as much concentration needs to go into the role that refined sugars play in your every day diet and how it contributes to your growing waistline and overall health, as you give to the fat you eat.
WEIGHT LOSS
7 GRAMS OF SUGAR EQUALS 1 TBL. OF SUGAR, WHICH EQUALS 28 CALORIES
HAVING SAID THIS, WHAT CAN YOU DO? Start to: 1. Take time to read the nutritional labels. Look for those hidden sugars and the overall nutritional value of the product. 2. Set your focus and don’t be fooled. Fat free products, bread, energy bars, salad dressings, cereals, soups, canned fruits, baked goods, soft drinks, designer coffees and chocolate are among the many products that can contain high levels of sugar. 3. Be cautious with products that are labeled no sugar added, excellent source of calcium, 25% less sugar, fat free, whole grains, etc. They too can contain a lot of sugar. For Instance: Dole Diced Peaches in Light Syrup: 1 small ser ving cup = 18 grams of sugar and 80 calories.

Do you feel deprived of eating the foods you love and crave?
Diets that
remove certain groups of foods, such as carbs or fat, are not only unrealistic, they are unhealthy. When you eliminate certain food groups you are not allowing yourself to enjoy a healthy and complete diet. The Nutraseed Diet is about being realistic and believes that a healthy diet is about more than just losing weight. It is about you and your lifestyle and allowing yourself to enjoy those No-No Foods without feeling guilty!
A FEW GOOD CHEATING IDEAS: * Share that decadent dessert or your favorite cheat food and opt for a lighter meal later. Small portions of those so-called taboo foods are the key. * Learn to cheat better by reading nutritional labels and selecting your favorite foods that are lower in calories, sugar and fat. * Combine healthy foods with your cheat food. * Love baking your favorite foods, replace ingredients with healthier options less sugar by using The Nutraseed Brown Rice Syrup, less oil with part applesauce. * Moderation is key on your cheat day. * Don’t whine—wine a glass on your cheat day. Research shows that moderate wine drinkers have less belly fat than liquor drinkers. Resveratrol, the famed antioxidant found in grape skin, stops fat storage. Red wine is best.
