Does maca help with weight loss?

Question

I've incorporated Maca into my routine for energy, but I'm also on a weight loss journey. I'm curious if Maca has any properties that might help in reducing weight. Does it actually assist with weight loss efforts?

Honestly, we tried so many things for my teenager's weight issues, including maca root powder. It did not directly reduce any weight, but it gave some energy for their sports classes. Please don't rely only on these roots, regular home food and running is what actually helped us.

I sit at my desk for 9 hours and wanted a quick fix, so I researched maca. It doesn't magically cut fat, it just boosts your stamina slightly. If you don't have time to workout or control your portions, no powder is going to work anyway.

I tracked my calorie intake and steps on my fitness app while taking maca for a month. To be frank, the scale didn't move because of maca, it moved because of my calorie deficit. It might help with active workouts, but that is about it.

At 51, I have realized these exotic roots only lighten your wallet, not your body! Maca-vaca se kuch nahi hota, simply walk for 30 minutes and cut down on sweet chai. That is the only real formula for us.

I really don't think you should believe all these internet trends about maca helping with weight loss. Most of it is just marketing hype from brands. Better ask a proper clinical dietician before wasting your money on these imported powders.
