| One of most important things that I always tell anyone that’s interested in a quick weight loss diet is to keep those types of food that you really like to eat and just can’t seem to resist out of you house. Temptation is hard to resist. | ![]() |
But, I know, it’s the holiday season right now and there are a lot of goodies and treats everywhere you go…and, not just in your house. So, what can you do now?
Well, a recent study showed that there is one “strange” little herb that helped women that were overweight to reduce the foods that they snacked on by as much as 50%!
Now, I know what you’re thinking…what is this “strange” little herb?
Women in this study were divided into two groups. One group had there food supplemented with this herb and the other group (control group) did not. Researchers were surprised to find that the group that had this herb added to their food snacked 50% less than the control group and they also had greater fat loss.
This “strange” little herb is called saffron.
It’s believed that saffron reduced the stress levels within these women and that helped to reduce their anxiety and depression. That’s the thought, but it’s still being tested. We all know that stress and anxiety can lead to some unhealthy eating habits, even while on a quick weight loss diet.
If you’re having problems avoiding snacks this holiday season, give this trick a try!
And, here is a quick recipe that you may want to try this holiday season that uses saffron:
Easy Saffron Chicken
1. Add 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, one diced garlic clove, and a large pinch of saffron to 1-1/2 cups of low fat yogurt. Stir these ingredients together.
2. Add 6-8 ounces of chicken breast to the above mixture and marinate for about 15 minutes. Brush the chicken with walnut oil and place the chicken in the oven on broil.
3. Broil each side of the chicken for about 10 minutes each. The chicken shoud be cooked all the way through and be lightly brown.
4. Add some vegetables and a healthy source of carbs… Enjoy!
