Spices can create variety

When most people try to get leaner they eat the same foods over and over with no variety. I think one of the reasons for this is that when people eat a certain way and lose weight they tend to stick to those foods. The problem with this is that many people get tired of eating the same foods over and over again. This is one reason why it is good to rotate your foods and eat a wide variety of meats, veggies, nuts, seeds, and some fruit. Another great way to keep from getting bored with your nutrition is to add spices to your food. Herbs and spices are a great way to add variety to your nutrition. They also add a lot of flavor and keep your nutrition rewarding.

On top of this there are also a number of other benefits to herbs and spices. Many herbs and spices have medicinal properties that are very beneficial to the body and can even help you lose body fat faster. For instance, cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity, which will help you lose body fat and speed up the metabolism. There are a number of other herbs and spices that have beneficial properties. So instead of eating that plain chicken breast consider adding things like garlic, ginger, basil, oregano, tumeric, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
