Does it work?
Are there any side effects? How do you counter any possible side effects?
I’m considering a 15 to 20 day water fast, and taking cayenne powder daily to increase metabolism or speed up ketosis.
No. A lot of these miracle addons to diets do absolutely nothing. There’s no diet pill or secret spice out there that changes the course of our metabolism.
But adding a brisk 20 minute walk will speed up the process more than anything. The more walks, the better.
Signed, the guy that’s wasted thousands of dollars over the past 2 decades trying everything.
I use cayenne because I love the flavor in miso or chicken Better than Bullion where I dissolve my electrolytes. But this is just anecdotal. I do have great success when I fast, esp when my stress is down, my work outs are consistent and my eating windows are in the AM, all of which I think are more important.
