I am overweight, I was told that drinking roasted black bean water with ginger will help me lose weight quickly, is this method really effective? (Ngoc Ha, 35 years old, Hanoi)

Black beans can help with weight loss because they contain a lot of fiber, which helps people feel full longer and reduces cravings. One study found that black beans are also low in fat, have a low glycemic index, are rich in plant protein, and can improve gut microbiota. These factors all have a positive effect on body weight.
This bean also contains B vitamins, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, which help burn excess fat in the abdomen and legs; and also contains some antioxidants including alanine, leucine, phenylalanine, which help balance fat in the body.
Ginger also contains the antioxidants gingerol and 6-paradol. The 6-paradol content helps eliminate excess fat by stimulating the body to burn fat and calories to warm the body. Gingerol and other ginger extracts can improve bad cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) and insulin levels.

A 2019 study of more than 400 people found that those who supplemented their diet with ginger extract lost more weight and had better blood sugar control than those who did not. Ginger also helps regulate cortisol, the stress hormone, improves memory and brain function; improves immune system function...
Thus, combining black beans and ginger in a drink will help support healthy weight loss. However, people should not mix roasted black bean and ginger water to drink instead of filtered water every day because ginger can irritate the stomach lining or cause ulcers. Ginger mixed with black beans causes insomnia, so it should be limited to drinking in the evening, should be drunk 4-5 hours before bedtime.
Ginger is also hot, eating too much will increase body heat; eating too much at once can cause headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, rapid heartbeat, insomnia. The recommended amount of ginger is less than 2 grams per day.
People should not rely on black bean and ginger drinks to lose weight quickly, which is harmful to the body's metabolism. When losing weight, people should adopt a healthy diet, combined with exercise to lose weight safely and scientifically.
Overweight people should follow a low-calorie and balanced diet, should not starve and then only drink water, so that the energy intake is lower than the energy expenditure and meets the minimum of 1,200 kcal per day. People also need to rest properly, avoid staying up late because it reduces the effectiveness of weight loss, exercise at least 30 minutes a day and at least 150 minutes a week.
