May Help You Lose Weight and Belly Fat

Yerba mate may decrease hunger and increase metabolism, according to animal research, which can aid in weight reduction. Both the overall number of fat cells and the amount of fat they can retain seem to diminish as a result. According to human studies, it may also increase the amount of fat that is stored and burnt for energy.

Furthermore, individuals who received 3 grams of yerba mate powder daily in a 12-week trial of overweight participants dropped an average of 1.5 pounds (0.7 kg). Additionally, they dropped 2% more abdominal fat as shown by a 2% decrease in their waist-to-hip ratio. In contrast, during the same 12-week period, individuals who received a placebo gained an average of 6.2 pounds (2.8 kg) and had a rise in their waist-to-hip ratio of 1%.
