They can make your food taste good. Some have more calories than others, but I don't think they will have any noticeable impact on weight loss.0

Interesting question. I suppose one way for me to eat less would be to stop using salt, as I find food bland and unpalatable without it. But I don't think spices are appetitive stimulators per se.
I don't know if you mean black, sweet, or hot pepper. Hot peppers are definitely not an appetite stimulator for me. I enjoy them quite a bit but have to eat spicy food slowly and carefully.0 -
Spices make food taste better but have no measurable effect on weight loss.0

spices have zero relationship to weight loss, for that you need a calorie deficit.0

This too is a bunch of hooey (most likely put forth by manufacturers of cinnamon capsules)0 -
Spices are a fabulous replacement for sugar (calories & cravings), fat (calories), and salt (water retention & can impact blood pressure for some people) because of the flavor they add to food. So they can support your process in that way. It's not 100% replacement, but can help a great deal, for me 50-75% replaced.0

I am sorry that just not true..
the only think you can do to boost metabolism is to boost exercise...0 -
No, spices are great for giving flavor to the foods you cook. Nothing more really. One spice I recommend is sumac. Great for after cooking on chicken, eggs and beef. Gives a ketchup like flavor.0

Herbs, spices, and seasonings are excellent for weight loss. They can make otherwise bland food taste wonderful! When you eat because you enjoy your food, rather than just eat to eat, you are more likely to be happy with smaller portions. Yes, seasonings that contain salt can make you retain water but it is easy to make your own seasoning blends without salt if you have a decent selection of herbs and spices.0

the converse argument would be they make food taste too good and you overeat...so I can see that reasoning cutting both ways....0 -
I heard if you rub cayenne pepper on your privates it stimulates weight loss. JK Actually when I was younger I told a friend jokingly that if you rub cayenne pepper on your forehead it stimulates muscle growth. Dumbass actually tried it. Burned the crap out of his eyes. lol0
