22 Home Remedies For Weight Loss

We discovered an absolutely amazing post from our friends at Everyday Roots and had to share! According to Everyday roots – there are really two true ways to manage your weight 1) eating healthy and 2) exercise. Everything should come back to these two fundamentals and if you get these right, you should be golden.

However it goes deeper than just calorie management: What’s really interesting is that certain foods, including herbs and spices, can affect numerous body chemistry factors that influence your weight. For example certain herbs can affect how hungry you are or how energetic you feel: One of the reasons green tea is considered valuable in weight loss is that it provides a sustained energy boost throughout the day, without the more aggressive “spike” of coffee. So, by being energized all day, you burn off more energy. Plus, green tea should be drunk with just the tea and water, without sugars or other calorific additives so it can provide a low-calorie beverage.

Other herbs have been found to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar management – for example cinnamon. Further, certain substances such as catechins are thought to affect the absorption of fats from the intestine. And then there are herbs such as dandelion which function as diuretics, flushing the system and removing toxins.

Then there is peppermint which may increase metabolism through stimulation of the liver – the principal organ that manages the way your body handles fats. A healthy liver is able to break down fats more efficiently and it goes without saying that a healthy “fat burning” liver as opposed to a “fat storing” liver will influence weight loss / weight gain. Liver health is critical to weight management. Milk thistle is considered one of the best herbs for the liver.

Isn’t this interesting? The list goes on and Everyday Roots has really created a “mega post” with not only vital nutritional information, but also simple recipes and ways to implement these simple and healthful weight loss remedies. I think this is the best page of this kind that I have seen and as usual I am super impressed with Everyday Roots.

  Most things listed contain water and the need to drink. I’m on dialysis because of kidney failure. I have zero kidney function. I am on fluid restrictions (can only have up to 24oz a day.) But I was told I need to lose weight before I can have a transplant. I started an exercise program and lost 10 lbs! But then I stress fractured my tibia. Now I can’t exercise, I have major dietary restrictions (low potassium, phosphorous and sodium.) How in the world am I supposed to lose weight now? I’m so frustrated!
