Put the diet aside, scientists may have a new solution for your weight in the way of a chilli pepper.
They found that a high-fat diet may impair important receptors located in the stomach that signal fullness. This was done in an investigation on the association between hot chilli pepper receptors (TRPV1) in the stomach and the feeling of fullness.
A site quotes professor Amanda Page as saying, "The stomach stretches when it is full, which activates nerves in the stomach to tell the body that it has had enough food. We found that this activation is regulated through hot chilli pepper or TRPV1 receptors."
