Time to add another seasoning to your spice rack: cumin. This spice—found in everything from Tex-Mex chili to Indian curry—can also help you lose weight, according to a recent study published in journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice.
In this study, one group of women was told to eat three grams of cumin mixed into yogurt during lunch and dinner, while the others were simply told to eat yogurt. Additionally, all 88 women were put on a reduced-calorie diet and received nutrition counseling for three months.
