You probably know the drill to losing weight: take fewer
calories and burn them through intensive workouts.
However, one of the most
effective ways to lose weight in an all-natural way is by boosting the
metabolism and turning the body into fat-burning mode. This weight loss method
is very suitable for everyone, as it doesn’t require any drastic changes in the
diet. As a matter of fact, all you have to do is to include some natural
metabolism boosters in your diet, such as spices.
Many people tend to make a crucial mistake in the very
beginning of the weight loss process. Namely, in an attempt to burn more
calories, people start starving themselves. However, this negatively
affects the entire process and it is counter-productive because once you sit on
the dining table, you overload your body with even more calories!
Few people know that the right combination of foods can be
more than helpful when it comes to getting into fat-burning mode, meaning that
you use natural metabolism boosters. This is definitely the safest and
healthiest way to burn fat naturally.
A group of researchers from the University of Medical
Sciences in Iran have conducted a study which included 2 groups of 44
overweight people. The women from both groups were given healthy meals
containing less than 500 calories daily. The difference between the groups was
that women from the first group were given cumin powder on a daily basis as
well. Over the course of three months the cumin group was given a mixture of
140 ml yogurt and cumin powder while ne non-cumin group was given 140 ml yogurt
only!
After the 3-month period, it has been found that the cumin
group lost a total of 14 kg and 14, 64% more fat than the women from the
non-cumin group, who lost only 4, 91% fat.
What makes this spice so effective in burning fat is the
fact that it contains phytosterols, potent ingredients which prevent
cholesterol accumulation in the body. Moreover, it has been scientifically
confirmed that cumin acts as an amazing metabolism booster.
As mentioned in the very beginning, this weight loss method
is extremely convenient because it requires nothing but increase of the cumin
intake on a daily basis. In fact, if you are not keen on yogurt, feel
free to skip it and add the cumin to the regular meals you have during the day.
