Default Black Cumin

Pizza is my go to "cheat meal" at the weekend. I buy a vegetarian pizza from the deli part of my local supermarket. I thinly slice a ton of garlic and add jalapenos and half a teaspoon of ground nigella seed or black cumin. Delicious.

If you want to lose weight or reduce your body fat with zero effort then I suggest you add black cumin or nigella seed to your diet. Be careful as there is another seed that also calls itself black cumin, it must be nigella seed (sativa) or also known as Kalonji. Just half a teaspoon a day will do. I grind mine in a nutri bullet to ease absorption and digestion. It has a pretty neutral taste.

Not only does it help in weight loss, systematic reviews have found that daily black cumin consumption significantly improves cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar control.

So embrace pizza Caroline and still wear your slacks loose ( you're such a flirt!)
