When you want to lose weight, the first thing you should start doing is eating healthy and exercising. Some diets make life too complicated. When you are not allowed to eat food that you love, you may experience a feeling of frustration. Luckily, nowadays, people advocate healthy AND delicious diets that combine different foods. To make your meal even tastier, you can try decorating it with flavorful herbs and spices. And the sweetest part of it is that some herbs can even promote weight loss. Yes, you have read it right — some herbs can fight cravings and help burn fat.
Fenugreek
Several studies have shown that fenugreek helps control the appetite by prolonging the feeling of fullness. One more study proved that eating fenugreek can help reduce fat.
Cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper also plays a part in this game. It speeds up metabolism because it’s spicy and adds this zesty note to your meal. Basically, you kill two birds with one stone — benefits and taste. But how exactly does it work? When the pepper is released into your body, the temperature of your body rises. When the temperature increases, the body starts burning calories. Ta-da!
Ginger
One study showed that women who added one pill of powdered ginger to their meals noticed a significant reduction in appetite. Also, several studies showed that this herb could boost metabolism and help burn body fat.
Oregano
Oregano is a super delicious herb that makes any dish unforgettable. What’s more, it has carvacrol — a special compound for weight loss. However, there is a lack of studies to prove that oregano is one of the most effective weight loss herbs.
Ginseng
The best feature ginseng has is that it aids in changes in gut microbiota composition. And yeah, this herb also is believed to help lose weight: one study showed that if you take Korean ginseng twice a day for 8 weeks, you will notice positive changes in your battle for losing body weight.
