Obesity is a foremost but preventable cause of deaths globally. It is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure, and diabetes. Natural products such as some foods, fruits, medicinal plants have been known to be functional in the management of Obesity. This article is aimed at reviewing the weight loss and anti-obesity potentials of Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Avocado (Persea americana) and Green Tea (Epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG). Google Scholar, PubMed, NCBI and Elsevier databases were searched from 2004 to 2020 using specific keywords. Searching was restricted to English language. Seventeen articles (Eleven human studies and six animal studies) were included in this review. Majority of the research papers that were considered in this review supported the weight loss and anti-obesity potentials of these natural products in obese human and animal subjects by lowering most of the clinical markers of obesity. Some of the anti-obesity mechanisms proposed by the authors include suppression of lipogenesis, inhibition of ghrelin secretion, e.t.c. This article also established the need for future trials.
