New year, new you, right? At least, that’s what around 20% of Americans vow for their New Year resolution. However, it is common to start a strict diet and be extremely motivated in the beginning, but after a few weeks, your motivation is gone. Your hunger pains are worse than ever and your stringent diet regime feels too restricting.
However, there are some all-natural supplements that you can add to your diet plan that ease hunger pangs and lower your appetite, like Saffron or Raspberry Ketones. Some diet pills are proven to burn fat while also creating a feeling of fullness. But if you’re already dieting, your fat burning should be at a high level anyway, especially in the beginning of diet. Saffron is advised for people who want to stop hunger cravings by helping increasing their metabolism. To ensure you’re getting 100% saffron extract and to learn more about its health benefits, check out review sites before purchasing. Research Verified reviews will tell you more about natural diet supplements.
Saffron: What does it actually do?
Most people agree that the hardest part to dieting is sticking with it. There are thousands of special diets available that have cheat days, free days, or allowances for treats and snacks. However, what may pull you into the diet may be your downfall, as a cheat day may turn into a cheat week, or month. Saffron supplements can be added to your diet in order to curb these cravings and help you stick to the diet that you know will help you get back into shape.
How does saffron work? It has two functions: one, it stems your hunger pangs by increasing the rate of your metabolism, and two, it lifts your mood. Saffron has shown to heighten serotonin levels in your brain. Serotonin is a hormone that is released in your brain and it makes you feel relaxed and happy. Although people may not have an issue with feeling happy, a change in diet changes a person’s mood. Dark moods can trigger overeating, reversing any kind of progress you may have made on your new diet. To avoid binge eating or overeating, saffron heightens your mood and will hopefully assist you in riding through hard times.
Now that your mood is in check, you are still hungry. Sometimes when you start a new diet, you feel hungry all of the time! Taking saffron will assist in controlling your hunger and make you feel fuller longer. It tricks your metabolism into thinking you have just had a huge meal and helps you in waiting between meals without craving snacks.
What do I need to look out for?
There are hundreds of different kinds of saffron supplements in the market, but there are a few key things to look out for when purchasing saffron. First, you should look at the ingredients. If there are more additives to the capsules, avoid them! There doesn’t need to be anything but saffron in the pills. Another thing you should watch out for is the amount of saffron in each pill. Usually saffron pills should be taken twice a day with your meals. Supplements can contain as little as 88mg of saffron, whereas other pills have 400mg of saffron. The more saffron in one pill the more effective it is. Also, it is more convenient to take saffron extract just twice a day, instead of taking it up to three times a day. You already have so much to remember; you don’t need the added stress of recalling when you took a diet supplement. Take it easy on yourself and find a supplement with a high amount of saffron.
Saffron in a nutshell
Saffron is not a miracle worker, but it is a natural supplement that assists in curbing your appetite and keeping your mood up so you can stick to your diet. Instead of taking artificial supplements, saffron is an all-natural spice that you can take in addition to your diet restrictions to help ease your transition into a newer, healthier lifestyle. Make this year count and prove to yourself that when you put your mind to something, you can achieve any goal.
Around age 60 I noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster. I also noticed a small tremor in my right hand. The doctor went over my different symptoms and he suspected I’d either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson ‘s disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 4 years ago. I take Sinimet four times a day to control my symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,December 2017 our family doctor started me on Mbeki Herbal Clinic Parkinson’s Disease Herbal mixture, 5 weeks into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.
Hi Sorina
Thanks for sharing your experience. It will really help many people out there.
First thing first, for those who are not aware, Saffron is being extracted from a flower named crocus sativus. Its two functions of increasing the rate of your metabolism, and lifting your mood are worth mentioning. And it must be tried in 2018.

Hi Sonal,
I often use saffron when cooking rice. I add it to it and it tastes wonderful. But I can see how the supplements can work wonders. I never knew it curbed appetite, but now through this article, I’ll pay more attention to it. I sure do need something like this lol.
Once again, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Sonal,
Saffron seems to be very costly. I see on Amazon it sells for $9. US for one gram. I did not know it helped with weight loss by curbing appetite. Will look for it in supplements.
Thanks for your excellent info.
