Is it true that if you eat something spicy, it will speed up your metabolism??

Answers: there is some truth to that. spicy foods in general have a higher thermogenic effect on the body.

Yes, it is.

Probably nowhere near enough for you to burn any substantial fat, but it does speed it up.

I know Grapfruit will speed it up!

No.

Hmmm... I've never heard of that, but it would be a good thing if it is true! :)

no but its great for ulcers

yep!!

Yes, spicy foods do help your metabolism in that sense, but i wouldn't rely on spicy foods alone. Bit of exercise and good healthy meals help too.

if that was true then wouldnt all people who eat spicy food daily be skinny? i dont believe it. only thing to speed up metabolism is exercise.

I'm not a nutritionist but that is what I heard

I don't know if it burns more calories because of the higher speed of your metabolism but you're sure to feel it burning something later
