Buckwheat: Natural Weight-Loss Food

Buckwheat's beneficial effects are due in part to its rich supply of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals protect against disease by acting as antioxidants. Eating foods high in fibre, such as buckwheat, can also fill you up faster and suppress your appetite, a great tool for weight loss.

Lose Weight With Buckwheat

Buckwheat Diet:

Compared with grains, buckwheat is a low-calorie food, which contains a lot of proteins, amino acids, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iodine, vitamins B1, B6, P.

I will repeat, buckwheat is a healthy diet product. Nutritionists often recommend to include it in the menu of the anemia, hypertension, liver disease patients.

This diet lasts 14 days.

After two weeks you can lose 7-10 pounds (I lost 8 pounds), and also clean your body and relax your stomach and intestines.

Why is Buckwheat so good for weight loss?

Buckwheat is high in fibre and low in calories. This means that it has many health benefits and will help you feel full after eating very little, unlike refined white flour, which has little nutritional value. Buckwheat is also high in antioxidant flavonoids so may help increase the speed of the metabolism and help you burn off fat fast. Evidence has shown that buckwheat flour significantly lowers blood glucose and insulin responses. It may help reduce cholesterol levels too.

The Buckwheat Diet

There is a crash diet out at the moment that requires you to eat nothing but buckwheat for 10 – 14 days. Fans of the diet claim that it can make you lose between 8lbs and 20lbs. However, these types of mono diets that require you to eat only one thing are bad for health and unlikely to cause lasting weight loss. You don’t need to take the buckwheat diet in order to lose weight. Successful weight loss is all about making lifestyle and dietary changes you can live with.

Switching to buckwheat and including more delicious buckwheat pancakes into your daily diet, is a weight loss change that most people will have no trouble with.

One of the best points about buckwheat is that it actually tastes better than the white flour alternative.

Aids in Weight Loss

Buckwheat has lesser calories compared to wheat or barley, is free of saturated fat and cholesterol, and high in fibre and protein. This is a powerful combination that helps in suppressing appetite, regulating blood sugar, improving digestive health, and building lean muscle.
