What to expect
Do not interpret sweating, a hot mouth or a spicier meal as evidence of a weight outcome. A spice and concentrated extract are different forms. An enjoyable amount depends on tolerance; increasing heat is not a weight-loss strategy.
Compare real sauces
Two chilli sauces may contain different amounts of salt, sugar, oil and chilli. Compare ingredients and a similar amount used. Spiciness does not measure weight-loss efficacy. In cooking, adjust to your taste tolerance and do not replace the spice with a concentrated extract.
EXAMPLE / HOW TO USE IT
An example to adapt
Season a vegetable and pulse stir-fry gradually. Serve hot sauce separately so everyone can adjust the flavour.
