Latest studies have made a definite connection between spices and preventing the build up excess body fat.

Latest studies performed by The Penn State University have identified that using spices such as cayenne pepper, turmeric, paprika and cinnamon regularly with your meals can significantly aid the weight loss process.

A civilized modern diet contains a high portion of fats and carbohydrates – fats and carbohydrates (carbs) are essential, they give us our energy and help us to function healthily but take on too many on a daily basis and the obvious outcome is consistent weight gain.

Its not only consistant weight gain that should be a concern – carrying around too much body fat can lead to heart disease and even Type 2 Diabetes.

When a meal with a high concentration of fat is consumed it raises the level of triglycerides, a type of fat, in your blood. Adding a liberal sprinkling of the aforementioned spices to your meal has been shown to reduce triglyceride response by about 30 per cent.

One of the most interesting spices is cayenne pepper or red hot chilli pepper.

Chilli pepper has been studied by many different organisations the world over for the last two decades.

Most tend to agree that if there is one spice that should be considered above all others its chilli pepper.

The press like to highlight diet fads and low fat diets – one such “fad” that has well and truly removed the shackles of its “fad” status is the chilli diet.

Over the past 20 years experts within the field of weight loss have tried to tie up the correlation between chilli pepper (cayenne pepper) and fat burning.

Today many experts are in agreement that chilli pepper is one of the most effective fat burners but its how to utilize it that has been the problem.

Chilli pepper si extremely hot to the taste and when consumed it can lead to stomach irritation.

It has taken the invention of a product by a Scottish private company, Advanced Health to come up with the solution.

Advanced Health have created a weight loss capsule containing a high strength quantity of chilli pepper, the capsule has a special coating that stops the contents of the capsule from entering the stomach until it has reached the small intestines rendering the potential for gastric irritation null and void.

Capsiplex proved a big hit with consumers with a reported 1 million units sold in its first 6 months.

Trimsecrets have just introduced a new product into the market – The Double Strength Diet Pill to compliment the 5 Step Slimming Plan introduced previously.

TrimSecrets has an association with Jan De Vries, the herbalist and world famous Author.

Another recent association is model Michelle Mone who has been very active in the press telling her weight loss success story.

Michelle has lost nearly 5 stone attributing the new Double Strength diet pill as the catalyst.

The original 5 Step Slimming Plan was to try to combine a health diet regime and a natural herbal formula (diet capsule)

Have you heard about Acai Berry

The 5 Step Slimming Plan underline this ideology

1. Follow a healthy calorie controlled diet
2. Keep hydrated and drink 1.5 – 2 lites of fluid a day
3. Avoid stress and practise relaxation techniques
4. Take one diet capsule before a meal three times per day
   
5. Embark on an exercise routine regularly

The ideology is not exactly new nor revolutionary but nonetheless good advice:

The Diet pill that is used in tandem with the slimming plan has several ingredients such as Yerba Mate, Green tea Guarana Extract as well as essential vitamins and minerals.

The product is also suitable for vegetarians

Do Trim Secrets Double Strength Diet capsules Work

Stripping away all the spin and the celebrity endorsement we are left with a slimming plan that is rather simplistic and a diet pill that does not appear to have any clinical trial or science behind it – at least not yet.

TrimSecrets Side Effects

A natural and herbal based product and so unlikely to cause any side effects if taken as suggested.

Where To Buy Trimsecrets

Seems to be exclusive sold via the official TrimSecrets website – the likes of Boots, Superdrug and supermarket chains have not been exactly rushing to become stockists.

Alternative Diet Products

Its extremely hard to look outside of Capsiplex, the chili diet pill that was the outstanding success of the last year.

Capsiplex sold a reported 1 million units in its first 6 months of release.

Capsiplex is fast becoming the de facto fat burner and has spwaned nearly a dozen copycat products.

We are now entering the Christmas phase where diet, weight loss and slimming in general is about to take a back seat to gluttony, over eating and over indulgence.

There is nothing ultimately wrong with this – the Christmas week and our annual Holiday in the sun are both times where enjoyment is paramount. Why not!

Christmas is especially bad for people who struggle to keep their weight under control as party hysteria is contagious.

The two biggest New Year Resolutions made each and very year is to a) quit smoking and b) go on a diet.

January 1st is the popular time to start a diet – for the majority it is a case of stuffing themselves silly and then trying to deal with aftermath at the start of a new year.

Why not give yourself a fighting chance.

Why not start to prepare for your diet now.  The Christmas week is all about eating and drinking as much as physically possible. The key here is physically possible – by introducing an appetite suppressant into your system you can reduce your hunger and reduce the amount the amount of food you eat.

It is often said that prevention is better than cure – appetite suppressants are a prevention.

Dieting and trying to lose weight can be quite expensive. You could end up losing pounds as well as lbs!

With this in mind we have put together another top ten tips for losing weight that do not involve any fad diets or extravagant diet plans.

Losing weight usually means less not more.

1. Taking on plenty of fluids is essential for the weight loss process. Water is especially beneficial as it is very low in calories and will flush away harmful toxins

2. Season fruits and vegetables are also essential. Try to eat at least 5 of each per day. Fruits have phytochemicals that can prevent diseases.

3. Eat only when you feel hungry and enjoy your meal, Chew your food well before swallowing. Do not eat to point where you feel bloated, stuffed, or exhausted after eating. Avoid snacks while watching television especially after dinner.

4. Try to eat 4 or 5 smaller meals throughout the day. The classic 3 meals a day with the “big one” just before bed time is not good for the weight loss process.

5. According to the modern concept, a balanced diet with high but healthy protein and moderate carbohydrate along with regular fitness exercises helps best to reduce weight. Protein burns fat and conserves muscle mass.

6. Healthy food need not be bland – introduce spices into your menu. A sprinkle of herbs, salsa or pepper can add taste and not calories – avoid salt.

7. Opt for the ‘3H Food’ (Healthy, Home cooked, and Hygienic).

8. Use a smaller plate – you eat with your eyes and so a smaller plate will give the impression of a larger portion.

9. A cup of Vegetable or a cup of pasta? If you are a diet freak, then go for the cup of vegetable; you will save 100 to 200 calories!!

10. Do not rely on food as a stress buster. Comforting eating is not that comfortable especially where your waistline is concerned. In times of stress don’t reach for the biscuit tin – run up and down on the spot.

A low calorie diet is just a generic term to describe a diet that involves reducing the amount of calories taken on by the body.

Typically, low calorie diets require a range of about 1000 to 1300 calories per day.

Although the principle is correct a huge proportion of low calorie diets do not actually specify which foods to eat and which not to – preference given to calorie counting during the course of the day.

Calories consumed provide fuel for the body. Consuming less calories during the course of the day, the body then burns stored fat as opposed to calories for its effective functioning.

A woman who has a busy and very active lifestyle will need on average 2300 calories per day with a man needing 300 to 400 more.

An individual who does not lead an active lifestyle will require on average 500 less per day.

Low calories diets should be complimented with foodstuffs from 3 different food groups to give a good balanced diet.

Carbohydrates

It is highly advised that at least half (50%) of your daily diet comprises of carbohydrates – carbohydrates provide energy.

Carbohydrates are typically found in: potatoes, rice, pasta and bread.

Fats

Fats are an essential part of your daily intake – at least a quarter of your daily diet should involve fats. Fats also provided our body with energy and also cause satiety (a feeling of fullness)

Proteins

Proteins are crucial and provide us with nutrients. Protein is responsible for growth, cell reproduction and all round functioning of our body.

Excluding any of the three food groups could cause more problems than it solves. Simply reducing the amount of food we consume is not advised over and above a balanced diet.

Tesco eDiets provided several diet plans tailored to providing you with a balanced diet that is not just centred around calorie reduction.
