Specialists from the University of Lund (Sweden) found that spinach extract helps to effectively lose extra pounds by reducing appetite. This is possible thanks to the thylakoids contained in spinach.. A study has shown that spinach extract reduces appetite by 95% and increases weight loss by 43%..

Scientists have found that the use of thylakoids increases the body's production of the satiety hormone and suppresses hunger, which further leads to stable appetite control, the establishment of healthy eating habits and weight loss..

In a study, 38 overweight women drank a special drink every morning before breakfast.. Half of the women received 5 g of spinach extract in their drink, while the other half of the women in the control group received a placebo.. The subjects were unaware of what they were drinking.. The women also received instructions on a diet consisting of three meals a day.. The diet had to be followed for three months. The results showed that women from the control group lost about 3.5 kg of excess weight, and women who consumed spinach drink about 5 kg.. In addition to effective weight loss, it was easier for women to follow three meals a day and control their appetite..

In this way, the thylakoids gradually slow down the digestion process, giving the gut hormones enough time to release and send a satiety signal to the brain..
