Many experts believe that enhanced metabolism is essential
for effective weight loss. The great news is that there are many natural and
readily available foods that can help to speed up your metabolism.
Weight loss is accompanied by a feeling of hunger. However,
it is important to note that the right combination of foods can help you speed
up your metabolism and get rid of excess weight, very easily and in a
completely natural way.
According to a study committed by researchers at the
University of Iran, weight loss depends a lot on how to combine our diet. 44
obese participated women who were divided into two groups.
During three months women from both groups received healthy
diet plan and consumed less than 500 calories a day. The only difference was,
the spice cumin.
The first group was given 3 grams of cumin powder a day,
which they consumed in combination with 140 grams of yogurt. The second group
received the same amount of yogurt, but without the cumin.
At the end of the study, when the researchers collected the
results they were truly amazed. The women in the first group who consumed
yogurt and cumin, had lost 6 pounds more than the group that didn’t consume
cumin.
In addition, the first group also lost significantly more
fat than the other. The first group had lost 14.64% fat, while the other lost
only 4.91%.
What makes cumin so effective is its abundance of
filosterola. It is a compound that prevents accumulation of cholesterol in the
body. Many scientists believe that this is the reason why cumin has the ability
to speed up the metabolism and stimulate weight loss.
