Cardamom & Coriander for Weight Loss

Here are two great slimming allies with exceptional taste.

It is difficult to live without coriander after you have learned how to use it. For a Westerner, cardamom offers a taste and a smell from somewhere else, from another fascinating and magical place. If you just take the time to close your eyes, to put aside for just a moment our modern western pace and enjoy its taste, even if it is only in a modest cup of cardamom flavored tea. But this isn't the heart of the secret. When you are losing weight there are two small inconveniences that may bother you: bad breath and constipation, along with its twin sister abdominal bloating. If your breath becomes a problem and embarrassing for you, think of cardamom. The simplest thing to do is to infuse it in some green tea. For your abdominal bloating, it's coriander that you need. Use it in everything - in your vinaigrette dressings, in your soups (1 pinch per bowl) and on all your white meat. A secret within the secret: if you are really worried about your breath, peel and crush together some cardamom and coriander and add this mixture to your normal toothpaste and use it to brush your teeth and tongue.
