Lose 3 Times Your Body Weight by Adding This spice to Your Diet

Trying to kick a weight loss plateau? Unhand the celery and head for the spice cabinet:
New research shows that cumin powder can help jumpstart weight loss, decrease body fat,
and improve unhealthy cholesterol levels naturally. Researchers at Iran's Shahid Sadoughi
University of Medical Sciences randomly split 88 overweight or obese women into 2 groups.
For 3 months, both groups received nutrition counseling and decreased their daily intake
of calories by 500. But one group was also eating 3 grams (a little less than 1 teaspoon)
of cumin powder daily, swirled into 5 ounces of yogurt (the same amount of yogurt, minus
the cumin, was also prescribed to the control group).  

At the end of the 3-month trial, members in the cumin group had lost 3 more pounds than
those in the non-cumin group for a total of 13 pounds weight loss. 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
