Have you ever eaten something spicy and then had heartburn afterwards? This is because the capsaicin that is found in peppers helps boost metabolism, curbs appetite and help your body burn fat. Recently I have found a combination that is a weight loss WONDER combination and you aren’t going to believe what the combination is! Turn the heat up on capsaicin and let’s get cooking!
1. Capsaicin
Capsaicin is the first part of the combination in this weight loss wonder. Capsaicin is in varying amounts in peppers that you can eat. Generally the more capsaicin, the spicier a peppery food is. Capsaicin helps reduce the intake of calories by speeding up the transport of food. We have two kinds of fat cells in our body, white fat that your body stores for another day to keep from starving and brown fat that the body uses as energy. Capsaicin helps the white fat act like brown fat in the body.
2. Yogurt
I have been eating yogurt by the large tub in conjunction with Tabasco green hot sauce in my mashed potatoes. The yogurt has billions of good probiotics that promote good gut and stomach health. If you get Greek yogurt it’s all the better on the diet. While I definitely don’t eat the Tabasco green hot sauce and yogurt together, I eat them in the same day. My body has felt more energetic and I have kept losing weight and maintaining the weight loss.
3. How much capsaicin should I eat?
I splash my green Tabasco hot sauce quite a few times in my two-three cups of mashed potatoes. 2.6 mg of capsaicin every 36-144 hours can help you CURB THE WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU. I use about 1/4 of the bottle of Tabasco in my potatoes every day and it has been greatly boosting my weight loss naturally.
4. How much yogurt should I eat?
This one is personal preference although I shoot for around 1-3 cups of yogurt in a day. I eat the smooth strawberry Yoplait yogurt for a dessert and it’s addictive in flavor. Greek yogurt is a great lower sugar alternative for dieting and weight loss. Yogurt probiotic is great for gut biome support.
I do hope that you have learned something about weight loss and a food combination that you can embrace and use in your own life. Peppers that have capsaicin and yogurt that has probiotics can and do boost weight loss. Plateaus will be a thing of the past if you use this combination in your own life. Get to eating that spicy food and you will build a spicy tolerance and you will have no regrets!
