Herbs and spices are packed with antioxidants and are beneficial to the body in many ways. Some of them can also promote weight loss. These include:

• Garlic: Studies show that rats fed a diet high in fat, alongside a garlic supplement, were found to have reduced weight and fat levels. It was also found that their blood and liver were safeguarded from the effects of not eating well.
   
• Cinnamon: Studies have found cinnamon to be a powerful appetite suppressant. In fact, studies show that adding a small amount to carbohydrates may keep you full for longer.
   
• Cayenne Pepper: A substance in cayenne called capsaicin, has been found to suppress hunger and increase satiety. Cayenne pepper has also been found to have thermo-genetic properties which can lead to increased metabolism.
   
• Mint: Some studies have found that just smelling mint can lead to eating significantly fewer calories.
   
• Ginger: In one study, individuals who drank 2 grams of ginger powder in hot water were less hungry three hours later than participants who didn't drink it.
