03

Eating spicy food can lose weight

Conclusion: Eating spicy food may not necessarily lose weight, and many spicy foods are high in energy and delicious, but may make you fat.

In fact, this sweating and exercising burn calories are two completely different things.

When people eat chili peppers, they feel spicy, not a feeling of heat, but a sense of pain. At this time, sweating is mainly for heat dissipation, which is completely different from exercising metabolism to burn fat.

Although capsaicin has a certain caloric consumption and metabolism-promoting effect, just relying on the amount of usual meals, the increased energy consumption is simply a drop in the dime.

Therefore, the superstition of eating spicy to lose weight may become fatter the more you eat.

04

Some theories suggest that a regular low-calorie diet can lead to a decrease in basal metabolic rate, and that cheat meals can stimulate metabolism by increasing calorie intake, so that basal metabolic rate can be increased, and then achieve weight loss.

However, scientific studies have not definitively proven that cheated meals increase basal metabolism.

In addition, cheat meals often break the daily dieting routine, which may affect people's ability to control their diet, increase the risk of overeating, and eventually lead to weight regain.

06

Eat some specific foods after a meal

It can counteract the heat and absorb fat

Conclusion: Eating certain foods after eating after a meal does not counteract calories or absorb fat, but only further increases energy intake and makes it easier to gain weight.
