Chile peppers have an active component called capsaicin. It produces a burning sensation when eaten or when in contact with any body tissue. It is because its function is to protect the plant from insects and mammals, including us, humans. It is the plant’s self-defense mechanism. These capsaicin chemicals also stimulate the fat burning mechanism of the body. When a person eats the chile pepper, it stimulates the heat producing reaction. Its hotness makes the body react by increasing its temperature. When the body’s temperature is already increased, its thermogenic process starts at the same time. Thermogenic process is the rate at which the body burns fat and calories and this process is commonly known as the body’s metabolism. The faster and the more efficient a person’s metabolism is, the more he or she burns body fats and loses weight. By having a delicious hot meal with green chile, you satisfy your hunger need at the same time you are already burning fat and on the way to losing those pounds.

In a study done by scientists from Taiwan, they found that the cells which develop into fat cells, called pre-adipocytes died before they could mature into fat cells when it was exposed to capsaicin for 8 days. Their findings also showed that subjects of the study who were given capsaicin had an increased average metabolic rate after taking it. In the two weeks of their study, the subjects who were taking capsaicin had reduced body fat of 70% and this reduction was more notable on the subjects who had high amounts of body fat at the beginning of the study.
