Are you one of those people who orders chicken wings and says the "hot" variety is for wimps? If you prefer yours on fire, you've already discovered a simple metabolism-boosting secret. That secret? Spicy foods.
Spicy foods are known to promote metabolic action by triggering some events in the body. As spicy foods are ingested, they tend to make the body sweat. This, in turn, speeds up the calorie-burning process. Some ideas for spicy-style foods that can help boost metabolic rate include:
Buffalo wings.
Try to go with baked instead of fried though. The extra calories the grease from fried will provide won't help with weight loss efforts.
Thai foods. Spicy Thai foods that really open up the sinuses and start the sweat pouring can be rather useful here. Many of these choices are also fairly healthy. Try to select dishes heavy in vegetables and lean meats, such as chicken or fish.
Indian foods. Hot curry can wake anyone up in a big hurry. It can also help increase metabolism slightly.
Mexican.
Watch out when selecting Mexican foods. Although they can be rather spicy and very, very hot, a lot of times they come with heavily fried ingredients. Choose wisely here in regard to heat level, too. While Thai is considered one of the hottest styles of food anywhere, Mexicans can turn up the temperature a little too much for some people.
Adding peppers to everyday dishes. Small additions of Thai peppers, jalapenos or other hot peppers to dishes can achieve the same effect. Just make sure the peppers selected kick up the heat, but don't ruin the flavors.
As you eat your way to a faster metabolism, there are things to remember. Just because hot foods can jump start the calorie burning doesn't mean it's wise to eat until you stuff yourself. The trick to having hot foods help with weight loss involves:
Eating more.
Eat a lot of small meals throughout the day. Break up the jumbo three into six meals instead. The more steady food intake is throughout the day, the more active the metabolism will be.
Exercise.
If a real metabolism kicker is desired, add aerobic and muscle building exercise to the routine. There are few things that can beat this combination for helping a person lose weight and increase metabolic rate.
Commonsense.
This might be the best tip for burning calories and getting the metabolism going. A balance of healthy eating, exercise and avoiding foods that make the metabolism sluggish can help almost anyone make the most of their metabolism.
Spicy foods can increase the metabolism a slight bit, but they won't do it all. To see real results, you need to consider a more holistic approach. If you do, chances are you will not be disappointed.
