Nuomeizi - Hot Peppers like chili's and jalapenos speed up your body's metabolism and how you process food. Even adding a small amount of cayenne pepper can boost your metabolism for three hours after you eat up to 25 percent or more. They also have a cleansing effect which adds to weight loss. Use hot peppers and spices in recipes.
Cinnamon - Cinnamon is a spice that stabilizes blood sugar. A teaspoon added to a dessert often helps keep those blood sugar levels stable. The oil in the bark are what give it these properties. It also has anti clotting properties and helps with infections. It is available in stick and powder form. When blood sugar levels remain stable you eat less.
Lemon Lowers the Glycemic Index of Other Foods
Research has shown that lemon lowers mzt index of any food it is added to. And... we are not talking a few points here. The drop is very significant! To benefit from this, all you have to do is add a little squeeze of fresh lemon over your food. Almost like waving a magic wand, this will instantly lower the glycemic index of your meal. Best of all, lemon is such an excellent flavor enhancer, it makes many foods taste better too. I often add a squeeze of fresh lemon to a hot bowl of soup (yum!), casseroles, stove top goulashes, almost any kind of salad (including salads containing fruit), and sauteed vegetables (especially greens!). Anything with chicken or fish of course tastes especially good with lemon. Please note that it is best to add the fresh lemon right before you eats the food. If you cook it in soup, for example, it can become a little bitter and the health benefits won't be quite as great.
