Spices that speeds up weight loss

-

Herbs make your food tastier and also boost metabolism, which in turn helps you burn fat. Below is a list of eight herbs and spices that have the power to burn fat faster and make you slim in no time.



Turmeric

Turmeric can help your body burn fat. Turmeric is a warming spice, it increases the body heat which can boost your metabolism and provide other health benefits.



Cinnamon

Cinnamon is said to curb hunger cravings, control blood sugar level and make you feel fuller for longer. You can put cinnamon it in your tea. It is also a great addition to lean meat and chicken.




Cayenne pepper

Cayenne pepper raises the body temperature which boosts your metabolism. The higher the metabolism, the more calories you burn. Adding this spice to your meal can help you burn up to 100 calories per meal. You can sprinkle cayenne pepper on nuts, soup and eggs.



Cumin

Adding one tablespoon of cumin seeds to all your primary meals every day can help you burn three times more fat. Also, cumin adds great flavour to your food. You can add it to almost everything, including soups and veggies.




Ginger

Ginger helps to control blood sugar level. Same like turmeric and cayenne pepper, ginger also has thermogenic (fat-burning) property. Add it to your tea, salads, fish and more.




Rosemary

Rosemary helps to increase your metabolic rate. It also aids digestion and weight loss. These green pointed leaves are to be soaked in boiling water for a few minutes. The strained water can be consumed lukewarm at any time of the day but not empty stomach.



Cardamom

Cardamom, also called elaichi, is a popular Indian spice with a unique flavour. It is thermogenic in nature and that is why it helps you in losing weight. It also prevents the formation of gas, which makes you feel bloated and uneasy. You can add a pinch or two of cardamom powder to your food to lose weight faster.



Black pepper

How can we not mention black pepper while talking about spices! Cousin to cayenne pepper, black pepper is rich in piperine, which gives black pepper it unique flavour. This one ingredient prevents the formation of fat cells and thus, helps you to lose, and later maintain, that weight. One can combine black pepper and cayenne pepper for better weight loss results!


Spice up your weight loss diet which will spice up your life.

Here are 6 tips on how to cut carbs and stay motivated

      1. Stay Hydrated Water should be your go-to choice for hydration. In addition to the potential for  negative effects of sugar on your health, sweetened drinks usually offer very little, if any, nutritional value.    Avoiding sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks is especially important if you're trying to cut carbs. Choosing water will also help you avoid adding extra calories—either from the beverage itself or overeating later.   When you reach for a sweet drink instead of a meal or snack when you're truly hungry, you’re not likely to feel satisfied and may fill up on “empty calories”.   One hundred calories of apple juice will leave you hungrier than 100 calories of an actual apple.         2. Eat Your Veggies When you first start a no-carb diet, one of the food groups you’re likely to stock up (and fill up) on is non-starchy vegetables, like greens, sprouts, cauliflower, and mushrooms.       ...

  1.     Stop Eating Carbs  One of the quickest ways to a flatter stomach is by getting rid of “bad” carbs. So, no more bread or pasta, anything that contains gluten should be banned and binned (the supermarkets are full of gluten-free products nowadays), no more potato crisps, breadsticks or white rice. You can still eat carbs but make them good carbs such as vegetables, lentils, peas, kidney beans, most nuts and seeds and your wholegrain carbs such as pure oats, brown rice and quinoa. When you cut carbs out of your diet, your body eventually reaches a state of Ketosis, so it burns off fat.   2.     Drink water    The best liquid to drink is undoubtedly water and actually, upping your intake of H2O will help to reduce your belly. Contrary to popular belief, not drinking water will bloat you out more and have you ever thought that the excess belly fat is a combination of fat and bloating? Water retention is the number one cause of b...
