There are too many diet fads to keep track of nowadays. There’s the paleo diet, vegan diet, juice cleansing, raw food diet, ice cream diet, etcetera. And yes, I said ice cream diet, but I highly discourage you from looking any further into that diet.
Temporary diets are so lame. If you want to burn fat faster along with working out and drinking an ocean’s worth of water take a shot gloss of Sriracha sauce or you can also just add it to your food. The second option is probably less nauseating.
Researchers from the University of California Los Angelos tested a compound known as capsaicin found in hot peppers to see if it could speed up dieters’ metabolisms. The substance that heats up the body is known as dihydrocapsiate, or DCT.
"DCT caused an increase in calories burned after a test meal,'' said David Heber, study author and founding director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition.
The “boost” from the study was pretty modest with only an extra 100 calories burned per day.
The effect may sound minimal but burning 100 calories by adding hot sauce to your diet is equivalent to running on the treadmill at medium speed for 10 minutes. Which one sounds better to you?
Of course if you don’t like spicy things then you’re out of luck on torching those extra 100 calories the lazy way.
Spicy-lovers rejoice and dump a bottle of hot sauce on your eggs or in your soup. The possibilities of sneaking in the magic metabolism booster are endless.
