You all know I sometimes get shredded,
but is the secret to my success? The herbs that I drink, do
fat burning herbs exist and if so how can you benefit?
In this video I’m going to discuss 4 herbs that could potentially help you shed the fat quicker,
so if you want to learn more about herbs for leaning up and weight loss, then watch this video.
Summer is around the corner. To lose weight fast, it’s good to understand the basics, for one,
fat is essentially stored energy sticking around for future use.
Different people store this energy differently and this depends on some factors such
as genetic, sex, age, hormoness generally speaking the body decides
where it chooses to burn fat from when burning this fuel, so spot fat reduction is a myth.
We have to drop our general body fat and it’s the body who decides where to take this fat from
Fun fact: when looking to get lean and shed fat, it’s worth noting there are actually a
few types of body fat. The one just beneath your skin, another that's inside of the body
that can sit around the organs, this can be dangerous one, and there is brown fat. So you
may not notice much changes in the mirror during this journey but you could be losing internal fat,
so appreciate the journey, each day to day step closer towards your goal.
Before we get into the 4 herbs,
let’s go over 4 quick things you can do right now to lose fat and get leaner quicker
First thing you can do is use maths
Multiply your bodyweight in kg by 30, this will give you your rough maintenance calories,
this is how much you need to eat to stay the same. So, to lose fat, you need to
have a calorie deficit. So you need to consume less calories than your maintenance calories.
Be mindful that a 7000 calorie deficit is around 1kg of body fat. So if you want to lose 1kg
in a month, dividend 7000 / 31, that's 225, so you need to eat 225 calories
below your maintenance calorie level for 1 month. That’s it. It’s all maths.
The second thing you can do right now is exercise
Resistance exercise, cardio, it’s all a win. For starters burning calories, especially in a calorie
deficit is an extra win and this helps reduce body fat and helps speed up your fat loss. And the more
muscle you build actually helps you burn more fat, 10 pounds of muscle would burn 50 calories in a
day spent at rest, while 10 pounds of fat would burn 20 calories. So keep building and exercising.
The third thing you can do right now is eat healthier
A lot of fat loss comes down to two things, blood sugar and hormones. Two things we tend to forget.
For example, balancing blood sugar can help you burn fat and use energy consistently throughout
the day, so you don't need to store more, more fat, and can use some of which you have already.
This comes from eating more wholefoods and less processed foods,
foods that spike the blood sugar, this spike leads to an insulin response, which tells the body to
stop burning fat and start storing it, using this extra blood sugar or blood glucose into fat cells,
The fourth thing you can do right now is sleep
Lack of Sleep can disrupt your metabolism making it harder to lose weight. Researchers found that
when dieters cut back on sleep over a 14-day period, the amount of weight they lost from fat
dropped by 55%, even though their calories stayed equal.
So sleep better, it’s the last and biggest thing stopping many people from losing weight
Remember , everything takes time but it’s worth it. With these 4 herbs on top of the 4 tips,
you’ll be beach ready in no time.
So without further ado, let’s get into the 4 herbs to speed up your leaness.
The first herb to help you lean up quicker is panax ginseng
Panax ginseng is A powerful herb and one that has been shown to have some
serious effects on the body especially for weight loss and metabolism. In one study
Ginseng showed weight loss effectS and slight effects on gut microbiota in all
participants. All participants, that's crazy, everyone in the study had a positive effect.
What’s more interesting is that It’s said that panax ginseng might help
with appetite control and over intake of food energy and even metabolism.
Additionally, this herb can help with energy, energy that can help you workout harder and
bring you closer to your goals and the more muscle you have the more the calories will burn at rest
The only caveat here is the price. Panax ginseng is quite expensive,
Is the price worth it, comment below and let me know
The second herb to help you lean up quicker is green tea
green, white tea, black tea and oolong tea are made from the same plant.
Each of these teas have been shown to have some effects on weight loss.
Green tea is one herb I used personally back in 2010 when I was losing weight. I worked out like
crazy, drinking at least 2 cups of green tea each day.
And I lost over 4 stones in less than 4 months. 3 months to be exact.
There is some evidence that suggests green tea helped with its potential fat burning properties.
Studies show that drinking a cup of green tea increases the amount of antioxidants in your
bloodstream and some of these antioxidants have been shown to have beneficial effects on your
metabolism. Metabolism is the process or speed the body to convert food and drink into usable energy
An increase in metabolism can help you stay lean and this is something that green tea might help
with,green tea has a compound called catechin, that is said to help break down excess fat
and green tea contains some caffeine. Caffeine can give you some energy for your workouts.
This might be something good to drink before working out or during but also,
caffeine can have a short term boost
on your metabolic rate and increase fat burning. So there may be something here
This is a tea anyone can drink so i think it’s worth a shot, me personally, i'll keep drinking
my green tea sencha.;
The third herb to help you lean up quicker is fenugreek
Some studies have shown that fenugreek seeds can help weight loss, although the evidence is limited
one study found that people who took fenugreek decreased calorie intake
by almost 12%. So this is a herb that might help people stay in a calorie
deficit and thus get to the lean goal quicker, especially by helping you eat slightly less
And other studies confirm this, another small study found that people who took fenugreek tea
were shown to have a decreased appetite level. So this herb is a potential appetite
suppressant. It said it works by slowing stomach emptying and delaying carb and fat absorption.
To be fair, there are quite a few studies, A study on overweight Korean women showed
that drinking fenugreek tea before lunch helped reduce their food intake and hunger
Fenugreek is something I take personally,
especially the powder. It needs a video inself, fenugreek as it has a rich history, it’s good for
digestion, metabolism and general health. So if that's something you want to see comment below.
The forth herb to help you lean up quicker is mate tea
Also known as yerba mate, this is the only herb on this list
I haven't tried personally but the evidence is strong.
Early evidence suggests that this herb can help with fat loss, helping people burn
more stored energy or stored fat. In animal studies it was shown to help reduce appetite
and boost metabolism, all key things for fat loss.
A 12 week study for those trying to lose weight
found that those who took 3 grams of yerba mate powder lost 2 pounds
especially from their belly reason, this compared to those on the study who took a placebo,
placebo guys actually gained weight in the same period so there may be something there.
This is a herb people use for energy, as it contains mateine, which is similar to
caffeine but less of a come down. So for the athlete, this maybe a herb to research further
There’s other key things you can add to your teas like ginger,
turmeric, lime or lemon that are sure wins for regulating appetite and weight loss.
