What Can Nigella Sativa Do For You?

Black cumin seed is an incredible anti-inflammatory herb know to help people lose weight in the same mechanism that helps diabetics. By blocking or reducing the factors promoting weight gain, it can help you eliminate excess weight.

It has been used for centuries as a weight loss aid and there are numerous studies to back this claim. The latest human study on Nigella sativa[1] has confirmed that black seed oil’s fat loss benefits are real – at least when taken with a low calorie diet.
A recent animal study[2] has revealed that thymoquinone, the unique chemical constituent of Nigella sativa oil, has lowered body weight, insulin and fasting blood glucose. It has also improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.

Further, free radicals can affect endocrine organ functions enough to trigger biological malfunctions, leading to hormonal imbalance. Such hormonal imbalance causes changes in the way the body uses and stores proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The best way to reverse this, according to them, is to introduce more antioxidants to the body which can curb, slow down or even prevent these negative activities of free radicals. Controlling them may restore hormonal balance and when achieved, may normalize weight.

Obese and overweight individuals often have high amounts of free radicals within their bodies. Antioxidants inhibit these free radicals by stopping the oxidation process which keeps them active. Taking natural antioxidants can help reduce free radicals affecting the endocrine glands.
 
The seed oil of Nigella sativa is popular for its potent antioxidant properties. Numerous studies have presented evidences that treatment of TQ protected vital organs from oxidative stress induced by various free radical producing agents.

How to Make The Early Morning Cranberry Detox Drink with Black Seed Oil

Cranberry juice is packed with enzymes, flavonoids and organic acids such as citric acid, quinic acid and malic acid that have emulsifying effect on fat deposit within your lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system carries all kinds of toxins and waste products that are not processed by our liver.

Cranberry juice’ organic acid can help eliminate stagnated wastes from the lymphatic system. In addition, black seed oil can further enhance the cleansing effect of this detox drink. Procedure:
  1. Steep the tea bag for 10 minutes and let it cool
  2. Combine all the ingredients and add the tea.
  3. Drink one glass of the mixture very morning and drink the rest for the entire day.
Early Morning Apple Juice Detox
Use this detox also in your diet plan.  I suggest the Cranberry one week and the apple detox the 2nd week.  Or do one detox for 3 days and the apple detox for 3 days.

What Kind of Oats to Use

You can use either quick cook, porridge, rolled or old-fashioned oats and put them straight to your smoothie without cooking or soaking them first.

Detox Using Milk Thistle and Cruciferous Vegetables

Environmental toxins in the form of xenoestrogens are notorious for disrupting the endocrine system and causing hormonal imbalance that can lead to abdominal fat. When you have hormonal shifts, it is difficult to lose those unwanted fat stores.

Aside from Nigella sativa, another impressive antioxidant and detoxifier is milk thistle. It increases the body’s glutathione levels while binding to toxins to easily eliminate from the body. Look for a Milk Thistle supplement that is pure and from the best source.

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, cabbage etc. contain unique, highly specific phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphanes to help the body fight against these xenoestrogens.

These compounds helps activate detox enzymes – enzymes that counter estrogenic compounds, hence encouraging abdominal fat loss[3].

The Super Metabolism Diet – a metabolism-optimizing diet plan that features daily menus, amazing workouts, loads of delicious recipes and even handy shopping guides – designed to reignite your inner furnace.  This is a 2 week plan also.

When you have an optimally working metabolism, you can harness the maximum potential of your body to burn fat and store less fat. This creates a super-charging effect on all weight loss factors – improved mood, better sleep, less stress and more energy. Do this together with Nigella sativa so you can burn more energy and get rid of all the toxic impediments in your life.
How to Maintain Weight Loss in the Long Term

If you want to be successful with your weight loss efforts, you have to be organized, disciplined and prioritize your health and confidence. This means, you need to be strong and not worry of what other people think about your new diet plan.

Below are the 10 ‘super’ ways you must follow to manage and maintain your weight loss for good:

Prepare a hearty breakfast. Every meals are necessary, but breakfast is the most important to start your day right. Aim to eat between 400 to 500 calories a day with the most filling food to prevent cravings and keep you satisfied longer. Include a lean protein, filling fat such as eggs, beans and nuts; and fiber such as whole grains and vegetables.

Cook real, whole foods. Choose foods that are whole, meaning not packaged or processed. Make sure all items are fresh – like fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean meat and low fat dairy. Amaranth, wild rice, barley and quinoa are far healthier than refined products.

Supplement to rev your metabolism. Include Nigella sativa oil to your regimen of nutrient-dense foods. Simply take one to two teaspoon of NS oil before meal. Green tea is another beverage you can include to stimulate your metabolism.

Limit your salt. Salt won’t stop weight loss but it can delay it. Taking too much salt retains water, which makes your belly seem bloated.

Avoid liquid calories. Lemonade, concentrated fruit juice and the hardest part of all, the after-work wine can add at least 800 extra calories on your day. The worst part: you will still be hungry. 

Spice up. Instead of reaching for the salt shaker, use herbs and spices to flavour your meal. It can actually help lower your calorie intake. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin may increase the body’s release of adrenaline which can boost your metabolism. Other great spices include turmeric, oregano, black pepper and ginger.

Snack smart. When hunger pangs strike, you may fall off track by reaching for sugary snacks. Always be prepared by having healthy, filling snacks like banana, apple or nuts to prevent this.

Sleep more. Adequate sleep is as important as exercise and diet when it comes to weight loss. Sleep has a huge impact on your hormones that control how you store and burn fat and how you maintain muscle.

Have a food diary. Weight loss should be a life-changing habit. Record everything you ate so you can easily spot the bad habits. This helps you practice mindful eating, and later on, develop a habit of having a healthy, balanced diet.

Exercise Daily.  Using a Rebounder will help you to exercise right in your home with very little effort and a whole lot of fun.

Plan ahead. Plan your meals in advance, at least a week. Refrain from eating out, do your shopping and cook your meals. If you can, take the food to social events you’ll be attending. Continue doing this until you are confident to resist the occasional meals that don’t fit your diet.
Conclusion

As mentioned many times on this website, Nigella sativa can only help you lose weight when combined with healthy lifestyle and diet. If you have been trying to shed unwanted pounds without much success, give the Super Nigella Sativa Diet a try. Just keep in mind that the key is to make a little calorie deficit so your body can break down stored fat.
