Use Spices To Increase Metabolism

Food in all its glorious flavors and forms is a double-edged sword for many. Indulging in great food without restraint causes weight gain while cutting back on great food leaves you cranky. However, there is a method of cooking that increases flavor and boosts metabolism, giving you great food and the ability to kick start your metabolism and burn fat while eating it.


Instructions








1. Begin by visiting your local market. There are a vast amount pf spices that can kick start your metabolism. Almost all include some form of heat, be it chilies, curries or pepper. The theory is that it allows metabolism to increase by generating energy production and burning fat. Many of these come in blends that are great to add to dishes without any changes.


2. Start using some of the hot sauces and spices in your cooking. Curries go well with strong flavored meats such as goat and pork. The blends that can be bought pre-made usually contain some form of chili and therefore has capsaicin. Ground chili powder does not need to be super hot for you to benefit from an increased metabolism. A small pinch of dried chilies such as chipotle or Thai chilies will perk up the flavor of your food as well as start up your metabolism. Spicy salts blend heat and salt for a nice flavor boost to grilled meats. A pinch of cayenne to soups and sauces will get some zest in your food while adding some flavor as well.








3. Keep adding small amounts of spices to your foods. You will slowly build up a tolerance for the hotter spices such as a Jamaican jerk spice blend or even habanero peppers. As your tolerance grows, so does your metabolism. This small but sufficient boost in your fat burning will aid you in keeping weight off.
