No. The spices in the food have no bearing on whether the food helps you lose weight or not. Calorie intake and physical activities are what determine weight loss. If you eat 4,000 Calories and burn 2,000 Calories then every two to three days you will gain 1 lb. (3,500 calories of stored body fat). If you eat 1500 Calories and burn 2,000 calories you will lose about 1 lb. a week.
The spices may cause you to use less sodium which might reduce your water weight, but this is a temporary fluid reduction and is not actual weight loss.
To be healthy and return to a healthy weight:
1. Eat less than 2,000 Calories each day
2. Focus on nutrient rich lower calories intakes
3. Keep fat to less than 30% of the calories you consume
4. Work out for 60 minutes a day
In addition if you see claims of diets that let you lose 10 pounds in 1 week, or more, there is no way to burn this much fat in a week. Because in order to lose 10 pounds of fat you would need to burn 35,000 calories. 17,500 calories a week is the average recommended dietary intake (for a man) and 14,000 calories for a woman with little to no activity. So in order to lose 35,000 calories in fat you would have to not eat, and exercise enough to burn 17,500 more calories. (You would most likely die if you tried to do this - so do not attempt to not eat or drink for a week and to vigorously exercise).
What you can lose in 1 week is a lot of water (this is temporary), muscle mass, and lower your at rest metabolic rate to make getting even fatter easier for your body to do. So if you are tempted by a diet pill, or some get thin quick scheme, just remember steps 1-4 above are the only way to get to a healthy weight, and stay at a healthy weight. If you are truly serious, get started with the above, but after you are sure you are on track, go see a nutritional expert (registered dietary technician) and get some help planning menus you can live with.
