Does spicy food increase your appetite?

I always felt that whenever I add something spicy to my food it always increase my appetite. That's why I was fond of curry. I like eating curry with my bread and rice. It gives a little extra taste boost. So how about you? What do you think of that?

hi TrinityDownpour No it doesn't, in fact I lose appetite because I can't appreciate well the food if it's spicy. It seems the other flavors disappear if I tasted something spicy in my food. My husband is the one who's very fond of eating spicy foods, he is not satisfied without those spicy sauces and dips.

Then I guess I'm like your husband then. I'm really fond of spicy food. I like spicy sauces and dips. Eating something plain can be unappetizing to me unless it isn't something plain.

Some people like you go for the spicy food. I am not fond of having spicy, since I can't tolerate the hot taste of it. But I try once for a while with friends.

Every one enjoy eating spicy food and when they are having it feel like eating more, but afterward it feel heavy. I am sure nobody in this world will avoid eating spicy food.

Not at all. I don't feel that spicy foods stimulate my appetite. I prefer to enjoy the foods with their most original flavour. Perhaps I will go with some sauces, but certainly not spicy stuff. :D

It does, but I don't know about it scientifically, it was just from my experience.

I've never considered this before. I eat a lot of spicy food. I'll have to pay attention next time!
