The 5 Spices That Can Help You Lose Weight

Health-conscious cooks love spice, and with good reason. Because spices add flavor to food without boosting caloric content, they can help dieters stay disciplined. After all, it’s easier to stick to that healthy eating plan if you enjoy what you’re consuming. Additionally, research shows that certain herbs and spices can actually help people lose weight by boosting the metabolism. Read on to discover which spices have hidden health benefits that you have to see to believe.

Turmeric

In 2016, the Huffington Post published an article titled, “This Is Why Everyone’s So Obsessed With Turmeric Right Now.” While it might be an exaggeration to say the world is obsessed with this bright yellow spice—many people many never have heard of it—it can’t be denied that turmeric has certain health benefits. According to a 2009 study out of Tufts University, feeding curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) to mice helped them lose more fat. Moreover, studies show that turmeric may help fight Alzheimer’s disease and alleviate joint pain in human subjects. Consider adding this anti-inflammatory super spice to your salad, soup, or even a chicken dish.

Cinnamon

Long a favorite during the holidays, cinnamon is actually good for you year round. In fact, various studies have shown that this spice can reduce cravings and keep people feeling full throughout the day. Still, it’s important to note that just because cinnamon is healthy doesn’t mean we always use it in healthful ways. Avoid cinnamon buns and toast in favor of healthier, protein-packed options like cinnamon oatmeal, cinnamon tea, and cinnamon spice rubs and marinades for your favorite meats.

Chili Powder

The capsaicinoids in chili powder and other spicy foods are proven to help with weight loss. Because consuming foods with a heavy spice content causes the body to expend more energy, it can encourage you to eat more slowly. As a result, you may consume less overall. Additionally, research has shown that eating chili powder may increase cravings for plant-based foods rather than those that are high in fat.

Garlic Powder

A staple of Italian cuisine, garlic adds a serious kick to many of your favorite dishes. And though you may not realize it, garlic can also be beneficial to your health. Because garlic causes an increase in body temperature, which ups the metabolism in turn, adding a dash of garlic powder to your dish can actually be beneficial to weight loss. As an added bonus, this spice is known to stop inflammation, fight aging, and even reduce the risk of heart disease.

Oregano

Another Italian cooking staple, this herb may support weight loss by fighting inflammation. Research also shows that oregano can aid in digestion, thanks to its high percentage of essential oils and fatty acids. A natural digestive, oregano enables the body to eliminate fats and toxins more effectively.
