cayenne pepper diet?

Options
has anyone ever tried it? if so does it really detox the body or will i just gain all the weight back again? I feel like I'm not getting anywhere because I keep letting myself slip up! I have never done a crash diet but I'm getting a little discouraged! :sad:

    Crash diets don't work - take baby steps to eating cleaner for lifetime!

    Cayenne pepper is better for you than black pepper. Your body doesn't digest black pepper.

    I would suggest that, instead of trying a "crash diet", that you seem to know isn't the right approach, to get inside your head for a minute. Take a breath, remind yourself of the reasons you want to get heathly and lose some weight, then prepare. Make a menu for yourself for the upcoming week, then go shopping for ONLY those food items. Put together an exercise plan for the week, including when you are going to workout, then take one day at a time and work your plan. Don't look ahead to the next day, and DON'T LOOK BACK!! You're trying to teach yourself a new way of eating healthy, but many times that isn't an instinctive thing. You have to plan for it, work your plan, let your slip ups fall by the wayside, and go to your friends for support.
