If you are one of those who are suffering from problems with an increased weight and large belly today we present you the recipe which is tested and guaranteed to give maximum results and at the same time it is easiest recipe and inexpensive.
Take a cup of boiling water with the addition of one teaspoon of ground cumin. Then add 1 tsp. grated lemon crust and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon as well as a teaspoon of ginger. There is a possibility of adding a spoonful of honey but that is optional. Always consume this on an empty stomach at least 3 times a day and watch your pounds disappear.
What is the Secret Ingredient in This Recipe?
Cumin is rich in antioxidants and phytosterols. Phytosterols are natural substances of plant origin that are similar to cholesterol in their structure and function. They inhibit the absorption of harmful cholesterol in the digestive tract, which could be the explanation for their weight-reducing effect.
Previous clinical trials have shown that consumption of foods enriched with at least 0.8 grams of plant sterols or stanols lowers the levels of LDL cholesterol.
A study published in the journal Complimentary Therapies in Clinical Practice was the first to reveal the potential cumin seeds have for dieting. Using this spice can help you lose weight quicker and influence the body’s fat profile in a positive way by reducing the levels of harmful lipids in the blood.
Research on Cumin and Body Fat
Iranian scientists from the Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences included 88 women who were considered overweight or obese into their study. They randomly divided them into two groups.
- One group ate 3 grams of cumin powder daily, mixed into 5 grams of yogurt.
- The control group consumed yogurt too, but without any additions.
- Both groups received dietary advice and reduced their daily caloric intake by 500 calories.
Study Results
Different body measurements and parameters were taken before the study and after 3 months of dieting.
- Women who were eating cumin, lost 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) more compared to those in the non-cumin group.
- More impressively, the cumin group members decreased body fat percentage by 14.64%—almost triple the 4.91% loss posted by the control group—apparently due to the addition of the fat-burning spice.
The women in the treatment group also experienced reduced levels of fasting cholesterol, triglycerides (a type of fat associated with atherosclerosis, heart disease and diabetes) and LDL (bad) cholesterol, while their levels of HDL (good) cholesterol increased.
Furthermore, the ladies who took cumin had larger reductions in body mass index and waist circumference.
