Summer Dieting 101: African Mango

Since we have a few months to go till summer is here, some of us are still looking for ways to lose weight fast. We talked in a earlier post about the Master Cleanse  and how you can shed a lot of pounds in a very short time since it is a liquid diet. Fans of the Master Cleanse include singer Beyonce and international supermodel Naomi Campbell. Yet some people are not able to do a complete liquid fast. Liquid fasts are not for everyone and it is not a long-term solution.

How about a solution for those who can't do a liquid fast or a solution after you finish a liquid fast that will allow you to continue losing weight? I recently found a study that talked about how African Mango can help you shed 12.3 pounds of fat every 28 days. All you have to do is eat mango! Very simple compared to the Master Cleanse, so you know I had to share it with all my lovely readers!

According to a recent study published in the scientific journal Lipids in Health and Disease, African Mango extract helped men and women lose an average of 12.3 pounds of body fat in just 28 days without diet or exercise. What's more, those taking African Mango lost an average of over 2 inches of dangerous belly—and their bad LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose levels plummeted. It has actually been used as a diet aid for centuries in Cameroon, Africa—the only place in the world where African Mango is grown.


The African mango is unlike other mangos that come from various parts of the world because the African mango has a different type of seed called the "dikka nuts" by the local people. There are supplements of the fruit, but I would suggest to try to eat the actual mango if you can find it in a local African market near you.
