Weight Loss
As I type up the introduction to this newsletter, I hear the radio announcer in the background calling for temperatures of -35 tonight! Lots of experts say it's stupid to forbid yourself from eating certain foods - that denying yourself something you really want to eat can ultimately lead to binge eating and eventual weight gain. So dessert isn't on this list — it's OK to indulge sometimes! But some foods really do deserve the axe — especially if you are trying to lose weight In which case, avoid these foods (when you can!) to fend off cravings and hunger, and support your efforts to slim down.
Black pepper contains a substance called piperine, which not only gives it its pungent flavor, but also blocks the formation of new fat cells.5 When combined with capsaicin and other substances, black pepper was also found to burn as many calories as taking a 20-minute walk.6 As an aside, black pepper also increases the bioavailability of just about all other foods - herbs and other compounds - making it a healthy choice for virtually any meal.
