The group which was allowed to eat yoghurt and cumin lost an average of 50% more weight than the group which ate plain yoghurt. Moreover, they also reduced their body percentage by 14.64% or almost three times the control group’s loss.

Also, the cumin group lowered their body mass index and waist circumference considerably more than the control group.
