Reddit mentions: The best sunflower seeds

I lost a bunch of weight (from 310lbs down to 215lbs) by starting martial arts. It wasn't specifically BJJ, though BJJ was a part of the training.

For me, the most important part was to get into a routine where I was training on the days I said I would. It helped that my wife also trained and I've read that people who have someone to train with have a significantly higher chance of sticking with it, regardless of the activity. If you have the chance, get a friend to go as well. Honestly, it is hard to NOT make friends at any martial arts school. If you become friends with people at the gym, it will help you to keep the routine.

The next most important thing for me was to just cut back on portions. I didn't really change WHAT I was eating (that came later after the weight loss), but I cut back on HOW MUCH I was eating. Instead of 3 hot dogs, I ate 2. Instead of 2 Jumbo Jacks, I had 1. Instead of a footlong sub, I had a 6" or 8" sub. That seemed to make a big difference as well because I could still eat what I wanted (no deprivation), but I just ate less of it and ate small snacks to stave off hunger. This is when I became addicted to sunflower seeds as a way to keep my mouth busy and my hunger satisfied. These are the best sunflower seeds and if anyone disagrees, I challenge you to a thunderdome battle using chihuahuas as weapons.

Good luck and, most importantly, have fun!

Has anyone had these? If so how are they?

Great win tonight boys, let's keep this up and we'll be in good shape come the all-star break.

Happy Zambambo!

I know you said the amount was more than $20, but this is almost $20 and it's honestly the thing I want most on any of my wishlists. It's marked highest priority and I'm super addicted :D

Roasted & Salted Pumpkin seeds.

13g of Fat, 1 Carb and 8g of Protein. Also completely delicious and very 'chip' like in the sense that it's something small and dry that you can just keep nipping at.

I've seen David's roasted sunflowers seeds imported here, but they're quite expensive compared to the US (Amazon has a seller here: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E4%B8%8D%E6%98%8E-%EF%BC%A1%EF%BC%B6%EF%BC%A9%EF%BC%A4%E3%80%80%EF%BC%B3%EF%BD%95%EF%BD%8E%EF%BD%86%EF%BD%8C%EF%BD%8F%EF%BD%97%EF%BD%85%EF%BD%92%E3%80%80%EF%BD%93%EF%BD%85%EF%BD%85%EF%BD%84%EF%BD%93%E3%80%80%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%80%8024%E3%83%91%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%80%80%E3%81%B2%E3%81%BE%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8A%E3%81%AE%E7%A8%AE-%E3%80%90%E4%B8%A6%E8%A1%8C%E8%BC%B8%E5%85%A5%E5%93%81%E3%80%91/dp/B000N3Q7LK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464568134&sr=8-1&keywords=%E3%81%B2%E3%81%BE%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8A%E3%81%AE%E7%A8%AE%E3%80%80%E6%AE%BB). I've also seen ones imported from China, but I think those are not roasted, even though they are covered in spices. Any reason why you need the shell? I think it's super convenient that you can get roasted and pre-shelled here.

Does it have to be local, cuz they make this thing called internet retail that makes finding things like this easy and they even ship them right to your door!

Nuts.com products are very good quality and reasonably priced!

I feel for you :( Maybe give these a try? I do sunflower seeds too when I need to chew on something. David's buffalo ranch are the best if they have them near you. Hang in there, and like I said before, feel free to PM cursing rants to me if meed be.

Cha-Cha brand "natural flavor" You're welcome.

I shared this in another keto sunflower thread the other day, but humble people of Reddit...

There is NO finer sunflower seed than the David Jalapeno and Hot Salsa seed. I stake my reputation on it, it is the best tasting flavor you will ever have. No hyperbole, no exaggeration, straight up FLAVOR TRUTH BOMBS on your taste buds.

Amazon sells 'em (as will many convenience stores, although they are not as ubiquitous as ranch or original)

Co-worker brought these into work: https://www.amazon.com/Chacha-Roasted-Sunflower-Seeds-Caramel-Flavor/dp/B06XHZJ5DW

I grabbed a dixie cup full and found I like cracking seeds while I work. I was never into seeds before. Now I'm trying all kinds of brands to determine what are my favorites.

Buy your woman some Bigs brand seeds (bacon flavored linked, other flavors are good too). They're so much better than David's.

It's a bucket for sunflower seeds. In the bucket there are 60 smaller bags of sunflower seeds so instead of opening a huge bag and not finishing it and having them go bad, you just open a smaller bag and have a better chance of eating all the seeds.

Yeah roasted seasoned sunflower seeds, you pop a handful in your mouth split the shell, eat the nut meat, and spit the shell. Hot sauce or Salt and Vinegar are my go to's.

I guess so. Tried searching amazon.ca but no luck

That's a bag of sunflower seeds.
