How Pumpkin Seeds May Support Weight Loss
Pumpkin seeds may help with weight loss by:
- Increasing feelings of fullness
- Supporting muscle mass due to protein
- Reducing cravings between meals
They help indirectly rather than causing fat loss.
Portion Size Matters
Pumpkin seeds are calorie-dense. Eating too many can work against weight loss goals.
A small daily portion is usually sufficient.
Best Ways to Use Pumpkin Seeds for Weight Loss
- Add to salads for crunch
- Sprinkle over yoghurt or porridge
- Use as a protein-rich snack in small amounts
Avoid heavily salted or flavoured versions.
