Cardamom : This is a thermogenic herb that increases metabolism and helps burn body fat. Cardamom is considered one of the best digestive aids and is believed to soothe the digestive system and help the body process other foods more efficiently.
Chillies
: Foods containing chillies are said to be as foods that burn fat.
Chillies contain capsaicin that helps in increasing the metabolism.
Capsaicin is a thermogenic food, so it causes the body to burn calories
for 20 minutes after you eat the chillies.
Curry leaves
: Incorporating curry leaves into your daily diet can help you lose
weight. These leaves flush out fat and toxins, reducing fat deposits
that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels.
If you are overweight, incorporate eight to 10 curry leaves into your
diet daily. Chop them finely and mix them into a drink, or sprinkle
them over a meal.
Garlic
: An effective fat-burning food, garlic contains the sulphur compound
allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce cholesterol
and unhealthy fats.
Mustard oil
: This has low saturated fat compared to other cooking oils. It has
fatty acid, oleic acid, erucic acid and linoleic acid. It contains
antioxidants, essential vitamins and reduces cholesterol, which is good
for the heart.
Cabbage
: Raw or cooked cabbage inhibits the conversion of sugar and other
carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction.
Moong dal
: The bean sprouts are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and E and many minerals,
such as calcium, iron and potassium. It is recommended as a food
replacement in many slimming programmes, as it has a very low fat
content. It is a rich source of protein and fibre, which helps lower
blood cholesterol level. The high fibre content yields complex
carbohydrates, which aid digestion, are effective in stabilising blood
sugar and prevent its rapid rise after meal consumption.
Honey
: It is a home remedy for obesity. It mobilises the extra fat deposits
in the body allowing it to be utilised as energy for normal functions.
One should start with about 10 grams or a tablespoon, taken with hot
water early in the morning.
Buttermilk
: It is the somewhat sour, residual fluid that is left after butter is
churned. The probiotic food contains just 2.2 grams of fat and about
99 calories, as compared to whole milk that contains 8.9 grams fat and
157 calories. Regular intake provides the body with all essential
nutrients and does not add fats and calories to the body. It is thus
helpful in weight loss.
