How to Lose Weight With Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper is actually the best natural herb for weight loss. Many people would argue that Green tea is, however cayenne pepper aids in speeding up your metabolism much faster. When you take cayenne on a regular daily basis you can increase your metabolism some say as much as 25%. Many people have no clue that the benefits of cayenne pepper can actually aid in weight loss. Now, don't get me wrong - Yes, you will still have to maintain a healthy diet and exercise, but cayenne pepper will help - a lot.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. HOW IT WORKS: The main active ingredient in cayenne pepper is capsaicin. It is said to be a "thermogenic chemical" which will help speed your metabolism and decrease your appetite. It's actually a wonderful herb. It not only can promote weight loss, but it does many other wonderful things such as: increase blood flow, maintains healthy blood pressure, increase your sex drive, may help reduce ulcers and promotes a healthy digestive system. Sounds good to me. Keep reading!

2. CONSUMPTION: Well, there are two main methods in consuming cayenne pepper. 1. You can buy capsules filled with the herb at your local grocery store, GNC or Wal-Mart for around 10 bucks. 2. Buy the actual spice and drink it.

3. HOW MUCH? Well, it really depends. It's a very spicy and hot herb. Taking the capsules is much easier, while drinking it is not for the faint of heart. CAPSULES: You should consume 1-3 pills a day. LIQUID: You should add about a teaspoon per glass. Start with one glass per day until you get used to it.

4. WEIGHT LOSS: Cayenne pepper alone will not make you see the results of weight loss on it's own. You must maintain a HEALTHY diet, exercise on regular basis (3-5 days per week) and you must consume water and less calories. Within a month, you will most certain see results of a healthier you.

Tips & Warnings

• Cayenne pepper does burn. The capsules are less harsh but can cause a slight burning sensation. (It feels like you just took a shot of vodka.) It does goes away within a few minutes.
• Drinking cayenne pepper may burn more. Be cautious.
• Please consult with a doctor before beginning any sort of diet, or taking any medication...including herbs and spices.
• Eat healthy, do not crash diet.

on 12/16/2009 I truly believe that cayenne--and other pepper spices--can help us lose weight. I found a wonderful supplement from Now Vitamins (the cheap brand!) called, "Cool Mint Cayenne." You'd never know it contained a lot of hot spice--you swallow it and feel nothing. But if you take it at night before going to bed, within a week, you'll lose a few pounds without even trying!

on 5/26/2009 I have a warm cup of Cayenne in water with lemon and a little honey every morning and I have lost weight effortless. I did not diet or do any strenulous exercise other than my usually walking, resistance and stretching. And my skin is absolutely beautiful. I contribute all this to drinking warm Cayenne water. But it has other health benefits as well. It lowers cholesteral. Maintains normal Blood Pressure. I've read that it stops heart attacks on the spot. Cayenne is good for releaving cold symptoms, asthma, rhumatism, I can go on and on with the list of benefits cayenne pepper has. Some people may not be able to tolerate the heat impact it has. But I love hot and spicy so Cayenne is great for me. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt for you to try.
