I have read several articles on research about spices that help us burn more fat, many state that things like chili peppers, Ginger, cinnamon, basil, and garlic have thermogenic properties.
Some even say that that spicy food doesn't allow for fat cells to form. So if you enjoy spicy food, add a variety of spices to your meals to burn additional fat calories. The thermogenic effect is what makes us feel hotter when we eat hot spicy food. So give it a try and boost your metabolism with a little bit of flavor.
I personally love spicy food, so i added Jalapenos and red pepper flakes to my meals.
In addition, some have other benefits like fighting the flu (garlic) and cinnamon is know for regulating insulin levels and helping out with digestive issues.

Sounds great Sonia!! I too have read stories about these fat burning spices. I like to put alot of cinnamon in my oatmeal in the morning and I also shake some into my protein shakes. Also when I eat spaghetti (with chicken and whole wheat pasta that is) I sprinkle cayenne pepper in it as well. I can almost instantly feel the thermogenic effects of the cayenne working, My body gets hot and sweaty!
