没有人告诉过你的减肥秘诀
一般人都知道减肥就是要“管住嘴迈开腿”，“七分靠饮食三分靠运动”，可是减肥的大道理听了那么多，却依然掉不了称？
小编今天给大家介绍一种减肥的秘密武器。
它就是——孜然！
是不是跟我一样想到了孜然烤肉啊哈哈哈哈
没出息！
Cumin is a great adjunct to add to your meals to help promote weight loss by reducing fat cells accumulating thus leading to not only a stabilization of your weight but also weight loss.
孜然是一种加在饭菜中的佐料，它通过减少脂肪堆积来维持甚至是减轻体重。
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) both as seeds or powder, has a nutty, peppery flavor. Cumin was once more widely used that it is today partly due to the fact that its peppery flavor made it a viable replacement for black pepper, which used to be very expensive and hard to come by (we are talking back over the centuries on this regard).
孜然既可以是颗粒，也能做成粉末，它有一种奇怪的辛辣味道。孜然现在的使用范围要比以前少，是由于它价格高昂、难以采摘，而且它辛辣的味道可以由黑胡椒代替。（我们说的是几个世纪以来的变化）
Cumin helps to balance blood sugar levels by increasing how sensitive cells are to both insulin and glucose, thus ensuring that your body responds well to them. By keeping your blood sugar levels in check cumin helps to minimize cravings for excessive carbohydrates as well as keeping you feel satiated.
孜然通过增加细胞对胰岛素和葡萄糖的敏感度，来平衡血糖含量。通过把血糖含量保持在可控范围内，孜然将人们对碳水化合物的渴望降到最低，并使你对此生腻。
Simply by consuming cumin regularly, you can balance your blood sugar, control your cravings and watch any excess weight drop off.
通过有规律的孜然摄入，你可以平衡血糖，控制进食欲望，减掉多余的体重。
Cumin is also rich in antioxidants and phytosterols. Phytosterols inhibit the absorption of harmful cholesterol in the digestive tract, which could be one explanation for their weight-reducing effect.
孜然也多存在于抗氧化剂和植物甾醇中。植物甾醇可以控制消化道中的有害胆固醇的吸收，这也可以解释为什么它们具有减肥的效果了。
Cumin is also great for other issues that can indirectly interfere with you weight loss regime. If you suffer digestive issues, for example, you may not be absorbing all the available nutrients in the food you eat causing you to experience cravings leading to binge eating.
孜然还有很多其他的好处可以间接地有助于你减肥。比如说，如果你消化不良，你吃的食物中所包含的营养都不能够被吸收，这也就使得你有了大吃大喝的欲望。
The aroma created by cumin activates the salivary glands in your mouth, which helps get your digestive juices flowing and start the primary digestion of food.
孜然的香味可以刺激你嘴巴中的唾液腺，这使得你的消化液开始作用并开始了对食物的初步消化。
Next, a compound called thymol, present in cumin, helps stimulates the glands that secrete acids, bile, and enzymes that are responsible for complete digestion of the food in the stomach and the intestines.
接下来，孜然中有一种叫百里香的混合物，可以刺激腺体从而在胃和肠中产生酸、胆汁和酶来完成食物消化。
Cumin is also a wonderful carminative. What this means for you is relief from gas troubles as well as relief from stomach aches when taken with hot water.
孜然也是一味很好的驱风剂，也就是说，用热水吞服孜然，可以帮助你缓解肚子胀和肚子痛的问题。
1. Add ground cumin to roasted or sautéed veggies.
1. 烤或煎蔬菜时可以放入孜然粉。

2. 做鹰嘴豆泥时可以放入
3. Make a cup of cumin tea. Simply boil the cumin seeds in water and letting them steep for 10 minutes.
3. 做一杯孜然茶，简单的煮一下孜然籽，在水里泡10分钟就好了。
4. Toast cumin seeds then grind them in a coffee grinder then sprinkle a teaspoon or so of the powder over nuts, salads or soups.
4. 把孜然籽烤好后放到咖啡研磨机里面磨碎，然后将大约1茶匙的粉末洒在坚果、沙拉和汤上面。
5. Use it to spice your soups, particularly lentil, or black bean soup.
5. 用它来为你的汤调味，尤其是扁豆或黑豆汤。
6. Add it to plain brown rice to give it an exotic kick, especially if mixed with olive oil.
6. 把它加在糙米中打造一种异国风味，尤其是将它和橄榄油混在一起时。
7. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil in a pan. Add a teaspoon of cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to crackle, which will happen within seconds, tip in 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and two potatoes that have been boiled and diced. Stir well, adding sea salt to taste. When the potatoes are golden all over, take them off the heat and serve as a side with your main course. Try this at your next dinner party and it will be an instant hit!
7. 在平底锅加热一调羹的橄榄油或者椰子油，再加入一茶匙的孜然籽。几秒过后等油开始发出爆裂的声后，加入1/4茶匙的姜黄粉末和两个煮好切粒的土豆。均匀的翻炒，加入一些海盐调味。等到土豆变成金黄色后，起锅，用来配你的主菜。下周末的晚宴上可以试试这道菜，绝对会成为大家的焦点。
8. Roasted cumin seeds with yogurt help in constipation. A delicious meal accompaniment to aid digestion is raita (yoghurt with cucumber) drizzled with roasted cumin seeds.
