Want in on our little secret? This incredible metabolism-boosting sauce is none other than hot sauce. You can easily pair hot sauce with eggs and avocado toast in the morning or in a chicken bowl for lunch and dinner. The options are truly endless!

In an interview with Eat This, Not That!, registered dietitian Maryann Walsh explains the effects of consuming spicy sauces like Sriracha and Harissa. Many hot sauces contain capsaicin, which is a component found in chili peppers, and capsaicin can help you to burn off more calories. How amazing is that?! 

"It was also observed that regular consumption significantly reduced abdominal adipose (fat) tissue, reduced appetite, and overall energy intake," Walsh explains. "Though not to be taken as a magic fix, hot sauce can be implemented in the diet to spice up your meals and bump up energy expenditure." Duly noted.
