The benefits of psyllium seed for weight loss are known as psyllium husks (in English: Psyllium), which refer to the dietary fibers taken from these seeds, and these fibers are characterized by being water-soluble, forming a gel-like substance, and it is worth mentioning that these fibers make up about 70% of the psyllium, and they contribute to controlling blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol, and also promote weight loss due to the formation of the semi-gel substance in the intestines, which increases the feeling of fullness for a longer period, reduces overeating, and studies have shown mixed results regarding the effect of psyllium on appetite and weight, where a study published in the journal Appetite in 2016 showed that taking psyllium before breakfast and lunch for three days reduces feelings of hunger and desire to eat, and increases the feeling of fullness between meals.
