Adding Spices to the Cabbage Soup

Hi,
What are the effects of adding spices to the soup, in order to make it taste less bland. I was thinking of cayenne pepper and tabasco? Will it have an adverse effect on weight loss?
Thanks,

Hi,
adding spices to the cabbage soup makes the soup more palatable. Cayenne pepper and tabasco in limited quantities are a great addition to the soup. Especially tabasco however may contain a high sodium content - that again retains water in your body. Our recommendation: use not more than 1 teaspoon tabasco per day.

All the best,
Gabriela
