Indian Snack IMPROVES Weight Loss

By Jack Taylor Posted September 4, 2019

No one actually enjoys trying to lose weight. 

Exercise can strain or exhaust your body… so-called “diet foods” are often bland and tasteless… 

And no matter how little you eat or how much you move, it’s practically IMPOSSIBLE to see a difference on the scale! 

But now, scientists have found that one Indian superfood can make weight loss easier than ever. 

It’s a savory snack that BATTLES cravings and EASES out-of-control appetite so you start shedding unwanted pounds — WITHOUT dieting or stepping foot in a gym. 

No fads. No gimmicks… just results. 

And you can get it at any grocery store. 

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutrient-rich legumes used to make hummus and many other Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. Right now, they’re really having a moment in the health-food spotlight – being praised for everything from lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol to bolstering gut health. 

Some people are even calling them a superfood… 

And Australian scientists claim that these legumes can SOLVE your weight-loss woes! 

In their study, a crossover model published in Appetite, researchers instructed 42 adult participants to eat 4 ounces of chickpeas every day for 12 weeks. 

The scientists didn’t ask or encourage these people to do anything else… 

Not exercise… not count calories or replace certain foods… NADA! 

They just had to eat the chickpeas. 

 And during those 12 weeks, they saw impressive results. 

Despite NOT EVEN TRYING to alter their diets, participants reported eating LESS while supplementing with the chickpeas – and notably, that included FEWER high-calorie processed foods!  

It didn’t come from them wanting to lose weight… oh no. 

They just WEREN’T HUNGRY. 

And since hunger is (obviously) a major weight-loss blocker, I wouldn’t be surprised if these same participants wound up shedding a few pounds anyway… safely and naturally. 

In fact, another study showed that obese volunteers who consumed legumes (like chickpeas) lost MORE WEIGHT than control subjects who didn’t. 

But really, none of this should be surprising. 

Chickpeas are high in both fiber and protein, two nutrients that help us feel “fuller” longer – so we don’t feel the urge to keep eating. In the same vein, chickpea consumption can also decrease the production of ghrelin, the “hunger hormone” that increases appetite and promotes fat storage in the body. 

Less ghrelin could mean a weaker, more manageable appetite… so you don’t feel STARVED while losing weight. 

Consider picking some up next time you’re headed to the grocery store.  

Most stores carry them dried and bagged or in cans – or as pre-made hummus — and they make a great addition to any meal.  

Make sure to read the packaging for preparation instructions, though, as raw chickpeas should be soaked or cooked before eating.
