Answers:
Spicy foods don't really help you burn calories, says Carey Clifford, MS, RD, vice president of Nutricise (www!.nutricise!.com), an online nutrition and weight loss program!. But they may help you enjoy healthy choices such as vegetables and chicken!. "Spicy foods may boost your metabolism slightly, but unfortunately, it's too small a boost to be significant," says Clifford!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love spicy food too, but now trying to cut down on spices!.
Some spices do have medicinal properties, but on the whole I don't think spicy food is good for you, and no they don't help with losing weight!.

PS I love nandos peri peri sauce too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love spicy food, but someone told me the other day that the spicy sensation on in your mouth is your natural reaction to a slight amount of poison!?!? Don't know about loosing weight, though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im sure I heard the same somewhere too!.

But if consumed in moderation cant think that it would harm you!. Maybe if you had like a stomach ulcer or something it could be hurtful!.

Nados peri peri rocks :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends what recipe you're talking about!. Spicy foods with a rich creamy sauce will not help your weight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
