There was only one difference between their diet – the spices. To be more precise, the first group consumed 3 grams of powdered cumin every day and usually consumed the cumin mixed with 140 g of yogurt. The second group also consumed the same amount of yogurt but without the cumin.

After the test period, the results were unbelievable. It is interesting that the first group with women that consumed cumin with their yogurt lost 14 pounds more than the second group who consumed their yogurt without cumin.
