I used to like curry until I got this new co-worker. His wife only has three meals for their lunch plan - pasta, curry, and salads. Whatever he choose on Sunday, he eats for lunch for the rest of the week. Watching him eat curry and smelling it for the entire week for the last 6 months pretty much made me want to never eat curry again. Cinnamon is another that made it to the superfood list. I just love this stuff! I add it to everything if I can - coffee, tea, cake, etc. More info at: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/cinnamon.htm.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('128','asithi'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('128','asithi','I found out that recently that curry increases the thermic effect of food.

I knew that all these things had an effect but I'm surprised that the thermic effect of food can burn up to 10% of your daily calories. That's a massive boost considering all we have to do is change the timing and frequency of when we eat. I'd like to add that protein, fibre and some spices have been linked with having a increasing the thermic effect of food after consumption. A study from McArdle et. al (1986) found that when eating a meal consisting of pure protein up to 25% of the calories will be burned during digestion and absorption. Other studies also suggest that eating certain spices can boost your metabolism temporarily by up to 50%. Finally, foods that are high in fibre (and therefore more difficult to digest) burn an increased amount of calories during the digestion process.
