The pumpkinseeds are very high in zinc and magnesium. Both of these minerals runs your metabolic machinery and when you are low in these two minerals, your rate slows down and that's the reason people have slowed metabolism and they cannot burn calories. Plus pumpkin seed being high again in protein and fibre reduces cravings. that's the reason I love pumpkin seeds because they improve your metabolic rate as well as they keep you full for longer amount of time so they reduce that sugar and salt cravings.

So this is where I like to use pumpkin seed as evening snacks. One to two tablespoons of pumpkin if you use at your evening snack. You can use slightly roasted and slightly salted pumpkin. so that way they will reduce your craving significantly in that evening time plus they are going to keep your body into the fat burning mode which typically slows down during the late afternoon time. So that's the reason pumpkin seeds are great as an evening snack. You can go up to three to four tablespoons if you need more amount of pumpkin seed as your evening snacks.

But here's the most common mistakes that people make a lot of time. First of all, they are eating too many seeds at one time, some people are using three to four tablespoons of chia seeds. At one go, that is too much. These seeds are concentrated super foods. So Use only one tablespoon at a time, only in certain exceptions like in pumpkin seeds where you're using them as a snack you can use little bit more of those.
