¶ … Pounds, 5 Spices and Eggceptional Diets
Turmeric, ginseng, cinnamon, ginger, and cumin are not only tasty; they may help dieters lose weight. Turmeric is a spice that is yellow in color, mild in flavor, and which also happens to contain a substance called curcumin. Curcumin provides the spice with its yellow color and also has anti-inflammatory properties that may even "suppress the growth of fat tissue," and lower serum cholesterol as well (Appleby, n.d.). Adding turmeric to foods or taking a turmeric supplement may help some people achieve weight loss goals.
Ginseng is a family of roots commonly used to brew teas. Although some data may suggest that ginseng may improve glucose tolerance, there is no evidence suggesting that ingesting ginseng promotes weight loss per se (Saper, et al., 2004). Likewise, cinnamon may help to regulate glucose metabolism in the body and decrease blood sugar (Anne, n.d.). Cumin is another spice that has a pleasant flavor and may help control blood sugar (Abdullah, 2014). Some sources seem to suggest that cinnamon lowers LDL cholesterol, speeds metabolism, burns belly fat in particular, and suppresses appetite too (Anne, n.d.). Ginger might help regulat cholesterol, boost the immune system, and act as an anti-inflammatory, as well as promote satiety in eating ("7 Unbelievable ginger benefits for health and weight loss," 2014). However, none of these findings can be substantiated by peer-reviewed research and it is doubtful that five spices alone will lead someone to lose weight. Most likely, the ingestion of tasty food will help people feel satisfied and thereby cause them to eat less junk food.
These five spices, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, ginseng, and turmeric, may be combined with the chicken and egg diet called the Eggceptional Diet. This high protein diet entails eating four eggs and skinless chicken every day. In addition to boosting the poultry industry, this diet may or may not have benefits...

it's physiologically impossible. As soon as you return to your regular eating habits, the weight will return plus a lot extra (due to your metabolism slowing down).

Dieting Makes People Fat The rising epidemic of obesity makes the news nearly every day: We are constantly reading or hearing about how Americans are getting heavier and heavier. This in turn subjects Americans to a range of possible other ills including increased cardiac disease, increased chance of stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. It also subjects Americans to a range of fad diets. These latter might seem to be far less pernicious
