If you want to burn more calories after a meal and experience reduced hunger, add a liberal dash or two of red pepper.  Past studies have shown that capsaicin, the component in chili peppers that provides its hot kick, can mitigate hunger and boost metabolism.  A hot-off-the-press new clinical trial confirmed these findings and found that study subjects who didn’t regularly include this hot spice in their normal diets had the best appetite-quieting response.
