If you eat hot sauce with your food does it make you consume more that you normally would?

jennaonna2000 asked:


Does eating hot sauce or chilies with your food make you eat more of it? Does the spicyness make you focus more on the spice rather than your stomach being full?

    I dont think so. Also, I have been told that spicy food increases your matabolism.

    all the diet advice i’ve read says use more spice. you
    will not only eat less, your metabolism will burn better.

    Actually, I’ve heard the opposite– you feel full sooner when you eat spicy foods…

    The chemical heat sets off an adrenaline reaction, speeding up your metabolism, and I suspect your body says, Enough sooner, because of it.

    Spicy foods should be a dieter’s best friend!! Those kinds of foods raise the metabolism, help you feel full sooner, and they usually don’t have quite as many calories, either!!

    One things for sure, If I start eating chips and hot sauce, or chicken wings with hot sauce on them, I can’t stop because it starts to really burn, so I eat continuously till full then stop to tank up on something to soothe my burning mouth.

    I find that hot sauce is slightly addictive…the more I put on my food, the more I want to eat it. Sometimes, I will get another helping just so I can have the hot sauce. They say that your brain puts out endorphins which gives you a natural high. Of course, if it were possible, I would have hot sauce with nothing, but it’s just too strong. So, I put it on food. Fortunately, I have a high metabolism. So, in answer to your question, I focus more on the spiciness than the food itself. Great question!
