Fenugreek seeds aka uluva or methi, a common ingredient in Indian cooking and medicine, have many nutritional benefits. They are rich in protein, fibre, vitamins B6 and C, magnesium, and manganese. Here's how to use it for weight loss.
Drink a cup of water infused with fenugreek aka fenugreek tea 30 minutes before your first meal. It will make you feel full and aid digestion as well.
Sprinkle sprouted fenugreek on your breakfast cereal or smoothies. You can also have a spoon of it as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, to control hunger.
Add fenugreek powder over your dishes to regulate blood sugar levels and add flavour.
After consulting with a doctor, take fenugreek supplements for digestive health, menstrual health and weight management.
As fenugreek has high fibre content, it can absorb water from your body. Therefore, drink enough water while having fenugreek products for healthy weight loss.
