Are you a fan of eating hot sauce on just about any food you can muster? There are millions who eat hot sauce on eggs, burgers, veggies, sandwiches, steaks and other foods just for the flavor and the heat.

With hot sauce generally having very few calories, it's a great flavor enhancer that does not add a lot of unneeded calories but can really pack that taste punch when eaten.

It's been said that regularly eating hot sauce can increase one's metabolism up to 40%, but did you know that hot sauce can also work to help you lose weight? Here's how:

1. It's a natural appetite suppressant.

2. It makes you thirsty, which makes you drink more water and therefore eat less.

3. It's actually toxic and can make your face flush and feel uncomfortable. This discomfort creates a situation of aversive conditioning. Hence, you eat less.
