Conflicting evidence exists regarding whether fenugreek can help with weight loss or weight gain. In this article, we take a close look at the science to find out the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Fenugreek\"><\/span><b>What Is Fenugreek?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves that resemble clover and small white flowers. The plant is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region and is now common in India, North Africa, and the Middle East (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28266134\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek seeds are the part of the plant that is most often used in cooking and traditional medicine. They have a slightly bitter taste and are often used to flavor curries, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/are-pickles-good-for-weight-loss\/\">pickles<\/a>, and other dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seeds can also be sprouted and eaten fresh or dried and made into a powder that can be used as a spice or supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek is a source of several bioactive compounds, including fiber, minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals. These substances may offer health benefits, such as improved digestion, blood sugar control, and inflammation reduction (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28266134\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Fenugreek_Affect_Appetite\"><\/span><b>How Does Fenugreek Affect Appetite?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have seen claims online that fenugreek works as an appetite stimulant that can help with weight gain. However, limited human studies suggest the opposite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek is believed to increase the levels of hormones cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide-1, both of which are involved in appetite regulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study found that adding fenugreek to a carbohydrate-containing meal increased satiety (fullness) in overweight or obese individuals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jnme\/2014\/964873\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19809809\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other <\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19353539\/#:~:text=Fenugreek%20fiber%20(8%20g)%20significantly,related%20to%20postprandial%20blood%20glucose\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have also found increased satiety and reduced food intake as a result of fenugreek supplementation (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19809809\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">q<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek may also increase levels of the hormone insulin or increase the number of insulin receptors on cells, which can help glucose get into cells and reduce the blood sugar response after you\u2019ve eaten. The same study also found a reduced blood sugar response when participants added fenugreek to a carbohydrate meal (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jnme\/2014\/964873\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This may be useful for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while fenugreek may promote satiety, more research is required to determine if these effects are significant enough to cause actual weight loss over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons why BetterMe is a safe bet: a wide range of calorie-blasting workouts, finger-licking recipes, 24\/7 support, challenges that\u2019ll keep you on your best game, and that just scratches the surface! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=fenugreek_weight_gain\">Start using our app and watch the magic happen<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Fenugreek_Help_You_Lose_Weight\"><\/span><b>Will Fenugreek Help You Lose Weight?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to its potential role as an appetite suppressant, fenugreek is believed to aid weight loss through several mechanisms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek seeds are high in fiber, which can help you feel full and eat less. They contain a type of soluble fiber called galactomannan, which may act as a prebiotic to support a healthy gut microbiome (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/fsn3.606\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber may also help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which is beneficial for blood sugar control. In an older study, people with type 1 diabetes who took fenugreek seed powder were found to have better blood sugar levels after 10 days. They also experienced reductions in total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/2194788\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fenugreek is also believed to increase the breakdown of fat cells and reduce the absorption of fat from the gut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study found that rats given fenugreek seed extract on a high-fat diet experienced less weight gain and body fat accumulation and improved markers of glucose and lipid metabolism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2014\/606021\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, fenugreek is a source of an amino acid called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19337956\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4-hydroxyisoleucine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which may stimulate insulin release and help regulate blood sugar levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19337956\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This may theoretically contribute to reduced food cravings and weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, fenugreek extract may increase the levels of hormones testosterone and adiponectin.

They can be soaked in water and made into tea. You can also take fenugreek supplements in capsule or tablet form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using fenugreek seeds, it may help to soak them in water for several hours before you consume them. This will help reduce their bitterness, making them easier to digest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re taking fenugreek supplements, make sure you follow the instructions on the package.
