Cayenne pepper may be included as part of a healthy diet, but its use should not be considered a substantive weight loss method. According to the Mayo Clinic, weight loss requires a deficit of 3500 calories in order to lose one pound of body weight.
Native Americans have used cayenne (Capsicum annuum, frutescens, or red pepper) as both food and medicine for at least 9,000 years. The hot and spicy taste of cayenne pepper is mostly due to a substance known as capsaicin, which helps reduce pain. Cayenne pepper is an important spice, particularly in Cajun and Creole cooking, and in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, China, Southern Italy, and Mexico.
