sweet cravings and chilli

sagaloo

Hi,
Just thought i'd share this you.
I always crave something sweet after my evening meal.
However i've noticed that if i have a meal that contains fresh chilli those sugar cravings arent there and I'm far less likely to pick at food for ages afterwards.
I'm not sure if there's any medical reason for this or if others have the same experience of chilli!
I'm not a big chilli fan but like this side effect!

Interesting. My husband and I both love spicy food so we put chilis in a lot of our dishes and I rarely crave sweets. I've never thought there was any connection, but who knows?

That's interesting, i must look into whether there is a reason!
