🔥 Chili peppers: nature’s portion control. In this study, making lunch spicier led to a 25% reduction in intake and 97 fewer calories consumed… without changing how much people liked the meal.

We all know that weight loss in obesity is good- but why does it help? And why is weight regain afterward harmful? 🤔 Excited to announce our new paper is finally out in @JClinicalInvest! 🚀👇 jci.org/articles/view/…
