10 Herbs and Spices to Help You Lose Weight

Ever experienced diet boredom? Well, herbs and spices are the easiest and healthiest ways to make your skinless, boneless chicken breast that much more exciting. "What’s more, many herbs and spices provide health benefits like weight loss, fighting inflammation, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol and even fighting dementia," says Karen Ansel, M.S., RDN. "Using them in place of salt can also boost your heart health and lower your risk of stroke.” There is no magic-bullet herb or spice to help you drop 10 pounds (sigh), but some offer unique slim-down benefits, like slightly boosting your metabolism, helping ward off hunger or balancing your blood sugar levels.
