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.
Many of the health benefits of cayenne pepper are attributed to the ingredient capsaicin. The pepper contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, manganese, and flavonoids. Open wounds or breaks in the skin should not be exposed to capsaicin.
