A hot way to lose weight
Foods that can help you lose weight
Aji Amarillo
It can help you lose weight and stay trim! (Capsaicin)
Origin of the Aji Amarillo:A “Yellow chili pepper” of Peru’s Andes mountains. The high levels of capsaicin, the natural compound in the chili that makes your tongue burn, can help you to burn more calories! Studies show people who eat chilies containing capaiscin burn calories up to 15 minute longer because of all that heat that’s produced in the body.
Health benefit of Aji Amarillo: Studies have also shown that capsaicin is a cancer fighter since it attacks the mitochondria or the energy center of the cell.
Consumption: Eat about 2 teaspoons a day to get the benefit!
Aji amarillo has a fruity, lightly smoky flavor and can be found in a dry powder and is available in Latin markets or on line. Ithas medium heat so it’s a great substitute to use wherever you might use hot paprika or cayenne. Great sprinkled in cornbread or in chilies. If you don’t cook you can mix it in with store-bought salsa.
Add hot and spicy foods to your meals to burn more calories. I usally add some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to most of my meals - eggs for breakfast, hamburgers, ham and turkey sandwiches. Tastes good and gives it a little kick.
