Home Remedies for Obesity & Weight Loss

Obesity, which is excessive accumulation of fat in the body, is determined by measuring a

person’s Body Mass Index (BMI). Generally, a BMI between 18.5 and 25 is considered desirable.
If your BMI is 30 or more, you are considered obese.

You can calculate your BMI using the following:

 BMI=(Weight in lbs / (Height in inches x Height in inches)) x 703, or if you measure with the
metric system use BMI= Weight in kg / (Height in meters x Height in meters), or

the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s online BMI calculator.

This problem is mostly attributed to poor lifestyle choices, such as eating processed foods high in
fat, oversized food portions, overeating, excessive drinking, lack of physical activity, lack of sleep,
and other similar habits. Genetic factors and hormonal problems also tend to increase the risk of
developing obesity.

Obesity is a great concern not merely because of the excess weight, but also because it makes
you susceptible to a number of serious health problems such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure, heart disease, and others.

It is important to adopt healthy lifestyle changes to combat this problem. In addition, you can
use some easy yet effective natural remedies to help with your weight loss efforts.

obesity - weight loss

Here are the top 10 home remedies for obesity.

1. Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is one of the best home remedies for fighting obesity. It helps improve digestion and
aids in detoxification. Healthy digestion is an essential pre-requisite for weight loss as it helps
your body get the nutrients required to burn fat. Furthermore, it helps remove toxins from your
body that slow down your metabolism.
obesity home remedy

Mix three teaspoons of lemon juice, one teaspoon of honey, and one-half teaspoon of black
pepper powder in one glass of water. (If you use freshly ground black pepper, then just add one-
quarter teaspoon.)

Drink it in the morning on an empty stomach.

Do this daily for at least three months.

Alternatively, you can simply have a cup of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar is another popular home remedy to reduce excess weight.
Though the actual weight loss benefits of it are still unknown, preliminary research has shown
that it can help protect against obesity. It helps breakdown fat and hence prevents the
accumulation of body fat.

apple cider vinegar remedy for obesity

Mix two teaspoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Drink it daily in
the morning and preferably before meals.

You can also drink a glass of water mixed with one teaspoon each of raw, unfiltered apple cider
vinegar and lemon juice.

You can have up to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a day. Do not exceed this amount,
as it may reduce your blood potassium levels over time and lower your bone mineral density.

3. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is useful in treating obesity because it stimulates the metabolism, increases energy
consumption, and mobilizes unused fat in the body. It contains natural collagen proteins that
make the body work harder in order to absorb the proteins. In addition, it helps remove toxins
from the digestive system and colon.

Take two fresh aloe vera leaves, peel them, and scoop out the pulp.

Put it in a blender along with one cup of citrus juice, such as orange or grapefruit juice, or
simply water. Blend it for two to three minutes.

Drink this daily for at least a month.

4. Green Tea

Green tea is another popular natural remedy to promote weight loss. A study at Penn State
revealed that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a compound found in green tea, helps slow
down weight gain by limiting fat absorption and increasing the body’s ability to use fat.

Furthermore, green tea is packed with nutrients such as vitamin C, carotenoids, zinc, selenium,
chromium, and other trace minerals.

Drink about three to four cups of green tea daily to combat obesity. You can also combine it with
ginger tea or cayenne pepper.

5. Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper helps control obesity and aids in weight loss. It contains capsaicin that
stimulates your body to burn fat and increase energy expenditure. In addition, it stimulates
digestion and suppresses excess appetite caused by malabsorption of nutrients in the body.

Make cayenne pepper tea by pouring a glass of hot water over cayenne pepper (start with
one-tenth of a teaspoon or just a dash of cayenne pepper and gradually increase its quantity to
one teaspoon). Squeeze the juice from half a lemon in it. Drink this tea regularly at least for a
month.

Mix two tablespoons each of lemon juice and maple syrup in 10 ounces of water (one glass
contains 8 ounces). Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper and drink it.

Use cayenne pepper and other spices, such as ginger, black pepper, and mustard seeds,
generously in your meal preparations.

6. Curry Leaves

Eating 10 fresh curry leaves daily in the morning works as a great Ayurvedic remedy to deal with
obesity and diabetes caused by obesity. Continue this treatment regularly for at least three to
four months.

Research shows that curry leaves contain mahanimbine, an alkaloid that has anti-obesity and
lipid-lowering effects. Thus, it helps lower body weight and reduces total cholesterol and
triglyceride levels.

what about aloe vera juice? I’ve noticed these jugs on the end caps at my local store….never
heard of “drinking” aloe vera before! But growing up, my mother always put it on our sun
burns…so what’s the deal with aloe vera? Granted, I could probably google it � But I’d like your
input as well, since you’ve more than likely tried it first hand �

I drink a mix of

1/3 apple

3 palm sized aloe

3 spoonfulls of honey

each day, and lost about 8kgs. The good thing about this is that you can get easily hydrated,
so when you lose weight, you lose it in a pretty? sort of way.lol

sorry for not being specific, but it really does help. About how often…I just eat it all the time.
I freeze it and make popsicles, mix it into my foods, and of course, drink it. I have an aloe plant in
my house, so growing one is an effective idea to consider.

Hoping this helped…

These are all very tried and true ways to lose weight. I have been on the lemon juice every day
and the ACV. I also use lots of the spices as mentioned above. I am under the regular care of a Dr
and the last time that I went for my check-up, I had lost weight and all my vitals were spot on of
where they were suppose to be. The Dr wanted to know what I had done to make such
significant improvements in such a short time (over a month I started to notice a difference) This
is NO FAD advice, this is advice that really works. Not only does it help you to lose the weight,
but it also helps your body to align itself to where it needs to be to give you overall health
benefits in many ways.

I have tried these.. Especailly lemon with warm water and honey is very very effective…
secondy Do not have 3 to 4 cups of green tea to start with… In the initial phase start with two
one in the morning and then evening and then gradually increase to 3 max…. Also cabbage is
very effective in loosing weight, I would not recommend raw as it would lead to some other
infection, so slightly boil with other vegs and have it in your daily routine.. Thanks for sharing
these are real good….

Hi, thanks for the article. It appears that Cinnamon, Fennel Seeds, Lemon, Honey, Mint Leaves,
Ginger, Pepper, Curry Leaves, Garlic boosts burning of fat and help in weight loss.

Will it do good if I could boil water by adding Cinnamon, Fennel Seeds, Mint Leaves, Ginger,
Garlic, Curry Leaves, Pepper for 10 minutes and leave it over night. Then in the morning filter it,
add Lemon and Honey and drink it like a soup.

Kindly advice.
