Hot n Spicy: The Secret Weapon to a Leaner You!
They say abs are made in the kitchen.. and that is very true for those transforming their health and fitness. However there is one secret ingredient that you might be missing on that is going to dramatically cut the time it takes to lose that stubborn belly fat and revealing that six pack you’ve worked so hard for.
What is it? Cayenne Pepper! – thats right this Red Hot Chilli Pepper originating from central and south America is like napalm to your metabolism and has been associated with many health benefits.
It is frequently used in the preparation of spicy dishes. Consuming Cayenne Peppers regularly can lead to a number of health benefits such as: relieving pain, help burn extra calories, suppressing appetite, treatment of inflammation, reduced muscle and joint pain, and even a reduction in common headaches. It’s no wonder then that this spicy member of the capsicum family has been used as a form of medicine for thousands of years.
So how do you use this secret weapon to get the body of your dreams? It’s simple! All you have to do is add Cayenne in its powdered form to season any source of animal protein. Sear your steak and give it a spicy BBQ kick or add some flavour to that oven baked chicken reducing excess fats and oils. No one said clean eating was easy but no one said it has to be boring and tasteless either!
Out of all these amazing benefits I want to focus on how Cayenne is amazing for weight loss! A group of researchers at Purdue University conducted a study that evaluated the “Effects of the hedonically acceptable red pepper doses on thermogenesis and appetite”. The results of their study, published in the journal Physiology & Behaviour, suggests that “consuming just half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper along with a meal can help suppress appetite and burn more calories”.
The research showed that those who mixed cayenne pepper with their food burned an additional 10 calories, four hours after eating their meal compared to those who did not add cayenne.
Now that might seem like a small amount, but when you consider adding cayenne as part of your weekly meal plan you can be burning in excess of 50-100 extra calories a day adding a significant increase in your metabolism. Which simply put, is a way to short cut to your weight-loss goals. So make sure to start adding Cayenne into your nutrition plan today, and in conjunction with a beastly training program you will achieve the physique of your dreams in no time!
