There is evidence that new research shows that adding green tea and capsaicin to your diet could cut down on appetite and cut caloric intake. Capsaicin is a pain killer; it is the chemical found in hot peppers that causes the hotness effect. It triggers metabolism into action and kick starts faster burning of calories.
Green tea has also been found to boost metabolism and burn calories faster. I drink one to two cups of green tea each morning and for lunch I eat fresh jalapeno peppers from my vegetable garden. I am receiving comments from my friends who notice that I am losing weight. Of course, I exercise consistently too.
Since it is so stimulating to your taste buds, capsaicin can help keep you from overeating. Toss some hot peppers into salads, salsas and stir-fries. Brew a couple cups of green tea and drink everyday to rev up your metabolism. Remember that green tea
contains caffeine, so be careful not to drink it too close to your bedtime.
