Subject: Herbs that help with Weight Loss

The herbs you need
The amounts may seem low, but keep in mind these are potent medicinal herbs—so you don't need a lot to
get a measurable effect.

Cinnamon Thanks to its rich
supply of blood sugar-controlling
chromium, cinnamon boosts
your ability to turn food into fuel
by as much as 30%.
Your figure-firming dose: 1/2 tsp.
ground cinnamon daily.

Parsley: It's uniquely rich in
folic acid, vitamin A and other
nutrients proven to help women
shed extra weight. Parsley is also
a natural diuretic, so it flushes out
excess water, especially in the
stomach and hips.
Your figure-firming dose: One cup fresh parsley daily.

Cranberry: Its active ingredi-
ent—arbutin—is a safe, powerful
diuretic that helps flush out
excess fluid within two days.
Your figure-firming dose: 4 oz.
of the juice or 2 Tbs. dried cran-
berries daily.

Flaxseed: Ground flax con-
tains 5 grams of soluble fiber per
tablespoon, making it one of
the richest sources of this fat-
blocking fiber. It's also the #1
source of alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA), a fatty acid essential for
fast, efficient fat metabolism.
Your figure-firming dose: 3 Tbs.
ground flaxseed daily.

Capsicum (cayenne pepper,
red pepper). Its active ingredi-
ent—capsaicin—raises the body's
metabolic rate and fat-burning
capacity by as much as 25% for
three hours.
Your figure-firming dose: 1/8 tsp.
ground red pepper daily.
