To lose weight steadily, herbalists recommend using fat-burning herbs, as they are the most effective. This niche often includes either diuretic plants or appetite suppressants. However, diuretic plants only eliminate excess fluid and do not affect body shaping in any way, leaving fat deposits intact. Appetite suppressants are characterized by short-term action and simply control appetite. Meanwhile, there are extracts that directly affect lipolysis, which provides a reliable result without harming health.

Slimming mechanism

To get rid of fat folds, people most often resort to three proven methods: follow a diet, exercise intensively or go in for liposuction. And few people think of other ways that are much easier and safer for health than all of these.

Fasting leads to exhaustion of the body. Workouts lead either to dehydration or to muscle mass growth, which does not contribute to losing kilograms. Surgical intervention is always fraught with numerous complications and aftermath.

As an alternative, we suggest considering fat-burning herbs, based on which you can prepare healthy teas and infusions, drink them for a certain time (in courses) and achieve sustainable results.

This is how ordinary plants can change such complex biochemical processes occurring in the body:

• They contain substances that can destroy fat cells,
• They normalize metabolism, and with it lipolysis, the breakdown of fats into acids and their elimination from the body. Growth hormone and glucagon, the production of which is facilitated by plant extracts, play an active role in this,
• They slow down the production of inulin, which inhibits the lipolysis process,
• They have a thermogenic effect, i.e. contribute to an increase in body temperature, as a result of which fats are burned faster.

Ultimately, you can achieve excellent results that no diet can provide:

• Lose up to 10 kg a month,
• The lost kilograms will not return, since the lipolysis process will be adjusted and will not allow the body to accumulate fat reserves again (although, it is advisable to normalize your diet for this),
• Body shaping in the most problematic areas (such herbal medicine will remove visceral fat on the abdomen, folds on the sides, waist, thighs, buttocks, arms),
• Rejuvenating and regenerating effect of most medicinal plants will guarantee that there will be no stretch marks or cellulite on the body after losing weight.

Most importantly, fat-burning herbs will simultaneously have a therapeutic effect in case of any health problems. Diets and intense workouts are prohibited for many people due to contraindications. However, if you select the herbal plant right for your disease, you can avoid the prohibitions.

Interesting fact. When you work out or follow a diet, your body starts looking for energy reserves within itself. First, it uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is stored in muscles. Once it runs out, it goes for carbohydrates — glucose from blood and glycogen from liver. And only when these stores are depleted (and it will take a very long time), it will finally start spending subcutaneous fat cells. That is why fasting and workouts for fast weight loss are not an option. But herbs allow you to achieve the desired result right away.

Contraindications

Despite all their benefits for the body, fat-burning herbs should be used with caution. They contain a huge amount of active substances, which can cause harm in high concentration and with regular use. To avoid this, it is advisable not to choose this weight loss method if you have certain contraindications, which include:

• Individual intolerance,
• Life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention,
• Oncology,
• Mental and venereal diseases,
• Septic and infectious diseases,
• Acute stage diseases: bronchial asthma, hypertensive crisis, asthmatic status, myocardial infarction, etc.,
• Conception,
• Lactation,
• Pancreatitis, ulcer (losing weight is generally discouraged for these).

If, despite the contraindications, you start drinking herbs that promote fat burning, it may end up in unpleasant side effects:

• Allergic reaction (manifested by nasal congestion, constant sneezing, coughing, skin rash),
• Gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, nausea, pain and discomfort in the stomach, flatulence, bloating),
• Exacerbation of existing diseases,
• Lethargy, reduced efficiency, sleepiness,
• Psychotropic effects: irritability, sudden mood swings, tearfulness, depressive states.

To avoid such complications, be sure to consider your health condition and do not risk it. If you are not sure whether or not you can consume herbs that burn fat and promote weight loss in such an intensive mode (you will need to drink teas a lot and often), it is better to seek advice from specialists in your disease or from a herbalist.

Remember! Medicinal plants have their own specific contraindications that are unique to them. So when choosing this or that herbal preparation, be sure to find out in what cases it cannot be used for health reasons. For example, nettle is not used for poor blood clotting, plantain for gastritis, etc.

Dosage

If you set a goal to lose weight with herbs that effectively and quickly enough burn subcutaneous fat, first you will need to find out how to use them correctly in order to achieve the desired result. Dosages, administration schedule, any additional efforts — all of this will matter.

A few helpful tips from experienced herbalists will help you get the most out of herbal medicine.

1. Get tested for diseases to find out if you can take this or that herb. Seek advice from specialists.
2. If you are planning to collect medicinal plants yourself, do this away from industrial plants and cities, since they tend to absorb harmful substances from the atmosphere.
3. Learn how to dry raw materials correctly: not under the scorching sun, but in a well-ventilated warm room. Store in paper bags, sort regularly.
4. There is a misconception that self-prepared herbs are much healthier than pharmacy herbs. The latter do not contain any medicinal impurities, but the collections are composed in a very competent manner, taking into account the proportions of all components. Therefore, they may be preferable.
5. You can choose multifunctional collections that combine herbs that reduce appetite and burn fat — this way you will achieve greater efficiency.
6. In order to lose weight, you will need to drink at least 3 cups of the drink per day.
7. The course is 3-4 months.
8. Drink either half an hour before the main meal or half an hour after it. Never make it a habit of doing it with meals.
9. To improve the results, you need to help herbs burn fat with diet and sports. This can be a light low-carb diet or simply the absence of unhealthy foods in the diet. Light cardio workouts, morning runs, hiking, swimming — any physical activity will be very beneficial.
10. It is not recommended to take any medications at the same time.

If you are planning to use pharmacy herbs (ready-made herbal teas), the dosage and brewing methods should be indicated on the package or inside the box in the instructions. Try to follow them strictly. This will eliminate the occurrence of side effects and allow you to achieve maximum result.

Tip for women. Many herbs cannot be consumed during menstruation, as they affect blood circulation. Therefore, find out if the plant you have chosen belongs to such herbs.
