Hot Peppers...

Anyone ever heard that eating hot peppers helps in burning calories? I had a fitness / karate Instructor tell me that eating hot peppers aids in burning off calories. I eat a lot of them just because I like them, but I have noticed that my weight has dropped off a little bit quicker this month. Just wondering...

    Eating enough to make a tangible difference would probably lead to other problems

    Capsaicin bonds to the nerves to simulate heat. No actual heat is produced. I love hot peppers, but the burn of spice and the burn of calories are unrelated.

    It may help, but as already mentioned the effect is relatively small.

    I eat a ton of peppers because I enjoy spicy things.

    I don't think it works.
    Have you ever seen the calorie and fat count for these things?

    I eat a lot of peppers, most of them in hot sauce form. I think it helps by making you slow down but that's about it.

    I am guessing you are talking about pepperoncini peppers aka the ones that come in the pizza boxes. I believe they are around 10 calories a piece and pretty much zero fat. I know they have a decent amount of Vitamin C in them, and would help to assist in drinking more water. I do not believe they have any protein however, and some are relatively high in sodium.

    Anyone ever heard that eating hot peppers helps in burning calories? I had a fitness / karate Instructor tell me that eating hot peppers aids in burning off calories. I eat a lot of them just because I like them, but I have noticed that my weight has dropped off a little bit quicker this month. Just wondering...

    It hasn't been my experience. :blushing: I eat raw super hot (7 pot, bhuts, habs, weri weri, congo) peppers with every meal...breakfast, lunch, dinner & all manner of savory snacks in between. It's a cultural thing. However, I've never noticed any particular weight loss properties. I grow all my own.

    O they'll burn ya twice (old timers like to say) and get your nose running and eyes tearing & lord have mercy if you miss the pepper on your plate only to find it's in your last mouthful & caught you unawares :embarassed: It takes a special skill to eat soup with a piece of pepper in there & let's not forget cooking with them & you mistakenly allow the whole pepper to burst :sick:

    Have to start all over again & make another pot of food for the children :ohwell:
