How Chili aids weight loss
Capsaicin (also called Capsicum) consumption causes a release of endorphin’s in your body. Endorphin’s are best described as morphine from within. Only 3 main factors are rumored to release endorphin’s – Chili, Good Laughter and Good Sex.
Apart from the natural “good feeling” and pain killing effects that these endorphin’s produce they also cause an increase in the levels of Dopamine. Dopamine is the hormone responsible for appetite and as a result your appetite is reduced and you tend to be satisfied for longer.
Dopamine increases result in increased levels of Nor-epinephrine and Epinephrine which are your 2 main fat burning hormones.
Studies have indicated that when chili is consumed 30 minutes before exercise you could burn up to 12 x more calories during and after your workout.
