Indian Herbs for Weight Loss

satsha · Jun 24, 2009

During my recent visit to India, many of my relatives and friends suggested me to try - Methi, Aajmain Seeds and Kali Jeeri in some combination for a weight loss. Does any one know the percentage of this combination to make a powder to eat daily ? Also, is it worth trying or any other remedies for weightloss ?

Can u give the English names of these herbs?

satsha · Jun 25, 2009

Methi - Fenugreek seeds
Aajmain - Carom Seeds
Kalijeeri - I am not sure but I guess, it should be black cumin, it tastes very bitter and it's proportion should be the least while combining all three ingradients..

Mankan:

Thanks for your reply. I am yet confused ..is it good for weight loss or only for a better health ? I am working on reducing my weight arounf 20 lbs after my first pregnancy. I tried dieting and also lemon-honey but didn't get much success. I am not able to get much time with exercise. But many people in India told that the Fenugreek-Carom and other heab I suppose Black Cumin helps to reduce weight in three months.

Do you or others try on yourself ? Also, where do I get these ingradients in USA. I know Fenugreek and Carom seeds in Indian store but haven't seen the third ingradient.

Thanks, once again.

hi,
i have tried the methi eating routine.it works.
i had constant pain in my knees as teenager.no medicine seemed to work when i read about benefits of eating fenugreek seeds.i tried it for 3 mths & my pain went away.but i noticed my weight had also gone down few kg.

since then when ever i feel little heavier ,i try it for a mth or so.

keep the methi seeds powder near ur bed & take a small spoon right after u wake up,with water(lots of water as its very sour)ati
