Sid03SVT said:sorry to spam post here but just a couple more things:
peppers (and spicy food) temporarily increase your metabolism
caffeinated beverages also temporarily increase your metabolism
so a good move is to have a cup of tea (or coffee) without sugar or cream in the morning with a small whole grain bagel (or a 1/2 of a regular bagel) with low fat jalapeno cream cheese
No offense but aren't you concerned about insulin spikes if you eat like this?
