There are a lot of reasons for gaining excess weight, as well as ways to lose it. Some diets include herbal preparations. Is milk thistle good for weight loss, or is it a bad job? We will tell in our new article.

Milk thistle or thistle is a plant that has been used in folk medicine for a long time and for all sorts of purposes. Can it be used for weight loss? Nutritionists say yes! But here there is one “but”.
Milk thistle for weight loss: useful properties
Milk thistle not only reduces appetite, but also improves digestion and normalizes metabolism, which makes it an indispensable assistant in losing weight, because all this accelerates the process of weight loss in a natural and “normal” way. But as an independent tool — this is a filkin’s letter, so you know.
The effect of milk thistle on the body:
- cleanses the body of toxins;
- normalizes fat and protein metabolism;
- speeds up metabolism;
- improves thyroid function;
- stabilizes the work of the gastrointestinal tract;
- suppresses appetite.
Milk thistle, having antioxidant properties, improves skin condition, so it does not sag in the process of losing weight, which is very good.

How to take milk thistle for weight loss:
- Milk thistle for weight loss is used in different forms: oil, powder or meal. The daily intake of such products is 2–3 teaspoons, no more.
- Milk thistle diet pills are taken as directed: 1 capsule per day, half an hour before meals or one and a half after.
- Tea with milk thistle for weight loss is drunk 3–4 times a day, in between meals.
But, as you can understand, milk thistle is always just an additional tool for effective weight loss.

Milk thistle diets
Milk thistle meal, powder or oil is included in the weight loss diet, but this remedy will not be effective with everyone.
Milk thistle works well with a vegetarian diet: it removes toxins from the body, helps digest certain foods better, and kickstarts metabolism. On such a diet, you can lose weight pretty quickly and even get healthier, because meat is quite heavy for the body.
A salad diet will also allow you to quickly get rid of excess weight. It is allowed to put only cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, eggplants or bell peppers in salads, once a day you can afford an egg. You need to fill food with milk thistle oil. And weight loss and deliciousness.
The kefir diet is perfectly complemented by milk thistle seed flour. Just add two teaspoons of this flour to kefir and drink it.

The stool became regular, causing absolutely no discomfort, the skin became cleaner, the mood was better, and the strength seemed to have increased. The next 4 weeks combined with the Dukan diet were similar in terms of weight loss 1 ‑1100g 2.1000g 3.1200g 4.1000g. After a breakdown, everything that was not nailed into my mouth got into my mouth, after a breakdown I take a teaspoon every day. Of the lost 14 kg, 2 kg returned immediately, I think that this is liquid, and that’s all. And given that after any diet, if you do not adhere to proper nutrition, the weight goes up steadily, I think that this is just an amazing result, which I simply have to share, ”
