Complete myth. But you are in luck - FIBER!
I could type my usual response all out, but instead, I'll go to the source. (Just make sure you are eating well, drinking water, and do not forget the exercise).

Red peppers (or peppers in general) are high in capsicum oils and contain a high dosage of vitamin C, which can increase your metabolism slightly. So, in a small way, yes. They can help you lose weight, but nothing that would be considered to be significant.
Try eating insoluble fiber, it works much better.
