The spice of weight loss is ... spice
Want to drop a few pounds? Add some spice to your meals -- any kind will do, as long as it's low in calories. According to Fit Celeb, adding zero-calorie spices to your meals can help you lose weight. In fact, in studies, participants who did just that lost an average of 30 lbs in six months, compared to two lbs in the control group. Wow. The key to the weight loss was attributed to the aroma of the dishes -- taking a moment to savour the smell of the food was key to participants' weight loss.
A few things to keep in mind: Butter is not a spice, and neither is salt -- both will likely cause you to gain weight rather than lose it. However, be sure to stock up on healthy, flavourful spices like cinnamon, dill, rosemary, curry powder and so on.
What's your favourite spice?

Many Asian cultures have been using spices for thousands of years. Calorie-free flavor. With the Indian food I grew up eating, the spice flavor replaces the traditional American role of meat flavor.

Spices are major ingredients of most Indian dishes and the people can't even think about curries without spices.

This is an interesting concept and I have been coming across this idea on various blogs and websites -- adding spices to your food to lose weight. Spicy food means anyway you are going to eat less if you don't like hot taste. It causes a burning sensation inside your body and maybe that's why we burn more fat while eating spicy food.
