Question 1

will cayenne pepper help me lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to happen: Eating foods that contain cayenne pepper can help with weight loss only if a person doesn't increase the total amount of calories eaten per day. For example, eating spicy food might lower a person's appetite, so he doesn't eat as much at that meal. However, drinking a root beer float to wash down the spiciness will give a person lots of sugar & fat calories, thus increasing his calories & weight.

Question 2

does cayanne pepper and cinammon help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Pepper &amp; cinnamon: Pepper is considered a heating spice and therefore may speed up metabolism, but in such a small way that it is of no practical value in weight loss.  Cinnamon is helpful in balancing glucose and may have a small effect on mood.  The safest and most helpful thing to do is see your doctor and then a nutritionist.  Please ask them about the low carb higher protein food plan.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

can taking cinnamon and cayenne pepper make you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Cayenne: Both good herbs for addin heat but need to reduce intake and increase exercise as well.

Question 4

is baked turkey breast, with a small mix of black beans, bell pepper, onion, tomatoe, low sodium hot sauce a healthy dinner? trying 2 lose weight

Accepted Answer

Sounds good!: Sounds like a healthy meal.  Just remember to limit portion sizes, because too much of even a healthy dish is too much.

Question 5

this lunch healthy for 18 y/o tryin 2 lose weight? 1 piece whole wheat bread, 1avacodo, slices of tomato/onion/bell pepper, & 4-6 oz chicken breast

Accepted Answer

OK but...: This is ok but if you really want to lose weight you might avoid the bread as less carbs will help; some feel gluten causes obesity so rice or quinoa might be better. I strongly advise organic chicken - see http://bit.Ly/19xax7e for the reasons.
My favorite diet for weight loss and overall health is dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian diet- see http://bit.Ly/1dhw9ht
don't forget to exercise. Good luck!

Question 6

ive been mixing cayenne pepper with lemon and warm water to lose weight and 2 weeks ago i've been spotting or idk if is my period .what's goin on wit?

Accepted Answer

Cycle change:  Sometimes when you have a dietary or hormonal change you can have a change in the way your cycle appears. If this continues to happen and you've made sure that you're not pregnant or have any kind of sexually transmitted disease then you should be further evaluated.

Question 7

im trying to lose a few pounds. ive been eating 1,300 calories a day but do have to eat dinner late before bed due to work. i usually eat a baked potato with rice. could eating hate be causing not to lose weight? ive been trying for few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: A successful weight loss program depends on both what you eat and how your body responds. I would never consider a baked potato and rice a worthy diet program. A potato and rice are predominately carbohydrates and provide little in the way of protein needed for body maintenance. Carbs are quicky converted to sugar and either used or stored. Please consult your doc/and a dietitian for a proper diet

Question 8

my tongue is very red and cracked and sometimes it will swell a little bit.  i can't eat anything with salt or pepper or spicy .  i can't drink cokes?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor as your symptoms suggest nutritional deficiency.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: Avoid alcohol during pregnancy and always. 
For the sake of your and  your baby's health, you should be under the care of a doctor who can provide more tailored advice.
Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
