Plantain or psyllium (Plantago)
Psyllium is the seed of Plantain. Metamucil is a commercial product that contain psyllium.
Herbalists say that the weight-loss effect of plantain and psyllium is related to the spongy fiber (mucilage) in the seeds and to specific chemicals (polyphenols) in the leaves.
In one Italian study, scientists gave women who were seriously obese (over 60 percent over their recommended weight) three grams of plantain in water 30 minutes before meals. The plantain group lost more weight than a similar group of women who simply cut back on their diet.
Dose: Take a teaspoonful of psyllium mixed well with a glass of juice or water. Take it before each meal.
Caution: If you are allergic to this herb, stop its use immediately.
