So I did a "Master Cleanser" yesterday, which is a drink with hot water, lemon, a natural sweetener (maple syrup or honey), and cayenne pepper. I didn't go too overboard on the pepper, but even with the amount I had, I felt good.

Has anyone been doing Master Cleansers or using cayenne pepper in their cooking to aid their weight loss - any favourable results, or is it a bit of a myth?

This coupled, of course, with healthy eating and exercise.

    are you going to continue doing the master cleanse?? i've heard mixed reviews about it. i'd love to find out what people say about cayenne.

    i've heard spicy foods burn more calories, but i wonder if there's any science to that!

    I take a cayenne pill daily. If you take it you should take it after you eat a decent sized meal. I'm not sure how much it's helped since I take other pills and have been dieting and exercising but I've been losing the expected 1 lb a week I'm targeted to lose.
    It's supposed to be good for blood flow and metabolism so, I figure it doesn't hurt to take it.
