Many of us may have worked extra hard before this summer just to reach the weight loss goals. Are you one of them? Yes, it is Summertime, and it is the time to flaunt all the stylish and short dresses. Not just work out but we all know that what we eat is also important. If you are a healthy person who works out every day and follows workout nutrition strategies, you probably do not need to follow this. But what about them who are too lazy to go to the gym :)
Belly fat is not just an eyesore but growing abdominal fat is also harmful for our body and it has a direct impact on our personality.
You probably have already read many articles on fat burning foods on the internet and you probably already know about the list of foods that can boost your metabolism and can help you to lose fat and body weight. Well, that's great!
But in this article, you are going to know about a vegetable that you might already know of, but I am sure that you do not know about its' fat-burning properties. Well, I am talking about Bell peppers or our very familiar name Capsicum. We all use Capsicum in our different diet, and it is very easy to cook with. Let's look at why you should add more and more capsicum to your diet.
Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits
We enjoy Capsicum in a variety of ways in our foods. They are available in three different colors Green, Yellow and Red. You won't believe but it is true that calories in Capsicum are extremely low. 100 grams of Capsicum contains almost 20 calories which is very low (as per data by the United States Department of Agriculture). High levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C are present in Capsicum. They have almost zero fat and zero cholesterol. It is very good for your eyes and heart.

Capsicum for Weight loss
Capsicum is a clinically proven weight loss ingredient, and it is really very effective. According to a research, presence of the compound Capsaicin in Capsicum plays the main role in fat burning. Even consuming as little as 6 mg of capsaicin per day may result in loss of belly fat. Of course, these amazing benefits come with a few possible side effects so never try to eat a lot.
