I have heard of people making smoothies with termeric. Does this work and if so, how often should/can you use it? Has anyone had results with it?

    I've heard recently it is not all that it is hyped up to be. What exactly are you expecting it to do?

    I'd be more inclined to consider it's anti-inflammatory effects. There's no magic weight loss spice. Eat things that taste good. I have tumeric because it's very yellow, and makes curries look and taste delicious. I have been meaning to try a tumeric latte, but I haven't got around to it yet. I don't think it will be magic, but it will be pretty and perhaps taste good.

    It's a nice seasoning but I don't think I would care for it in a smoothie. Using a variety of spices can be very beneficial healthwise just like eating a colorful variety of foods can be. But for losing weight and increasing metabolism eating less and exercising more does that. There's no magic pills, just lots of hype and snake oil.

    I got a free 60 day sample. I'm using it instead of Glucosamine for anti-inflammatory benefits. I run, bike, swim, and weight lift almost every day. My body doesn't seem to know the difference between the two. After a month, still running like a well oiled machine.

    A massage therapist recommended it and it has helped the inflammation in my joints. I still ache, but not like I did.

    It makes things yellow. That's enough benefit for me (I like yellow).

    You should try the Easy Mac diet then... #easymac

    Is that thread still running? I need to get on board with it.

    Tumeric will take down a pimple in a day if applied topically, I used to take Tumeric for chronic pain, stenosis, I found bromelain worked better for me.
