hemp hearts - "side effects" seem a little scary?
i was reading about hemp hearts after a friend raved about them. it all sounds happy and great...with one exception. if you eat anything starchy you'll want to stay close to a bathroom? the web sites for the products are written generally for *normal* people, ie: no RNY, bands, etc. so, im wondering. do we process differently? i'm trying it tomorrow for the first time in the morning, but i have a soccer game @11am. am i in for deep **** no pun intended?

theyre super yummy =) and work great at curbing my appetite. no upheaval from my tummy like i was worried about. i made a pan of oatmeal raisin breakfast bars with equal parts hemp hearts and oatmeal, oh wow! they ended up about 1.5 in thick and i cut them in 3x4in bars. it takes me about an hour in the mornin to work through one, i dont just sit down to eat the whole thing, i eat it while im checking email at work, etc. and it keeps me full & happy until lunch. i have a class 2 nights a week after work, and i bring an extra bar with me to eat on my way to school, also on the weekend right before my soccer game. they have an insane amount of protein, a very subtle flavor and are seriously my favorite food right now. i tried them in yogurt, but im not a fan of that texture.
one positive side effect for me, ive never been exactly *regular* but this is the closest ive ever been. if i can manage to keep my head hunger at bay, maybe i can drop (again) the last stubborn 30.
ps: hemp cultivated for agricultural use contains NO thc - the active ingredient in marijuana, so it doesnt make you weird and it wont pop up on a drug test.
