How come I always get full more quickly when I eat hot stuff?!


Question: If I eat pizza without tabasco sauce, I can eat 12-15 slices. If I add a little bit of tabasco sauce on my pizza, I am full after 4-5 slices. Im just carious, why I get fuller faster.

It may be due to the natural chemical that puts the "Hot" in hot peppers. It's called Capsaicin, and it's been clinically proven to increase blood flow to the stomach and stimulate the production of digestive juices. Capsaicin also has been shown to kill pain, stop headaches, and clear up chronic sinus conditions.

Bring on the peppers!

It might just be the "hot & spicy" factor that makes you lose your appetite for more food, therefore, making you think your full quicker. The harsh taste that is brought on by tabasco sauce might just indirectly kill your taste for more food.
