I thought of all of you hot sauce lovers here at traineo as I wrote (well, part of) this today.
Looking for 800,000 Scoville Unit hot sauce? Get it here along with a few of my favorites and info about the health benefits of hot sauce.
Hot Sauce, It Burns So Good
P.S. Watch the video! lol

Hmmmmmm:
Aside from acting as an appetite suppressant, red pepper also seems to increase the number of calories burned, particularly after high-fat meals.
Might have to test this out some time...

For those of you that aren't familiar with Scoville Ratings, 800,000 Scoville Units is about 300-400 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

that will hurt.
I ate half a habanero about 10 days ago and it was an interesting experience.

I've bitten into (and chomped down on), a capsaicin twice in my life, (both times unknowingly, if you can believe that!), and both times I was convinced that my ears were bleeding.
INSANE.

yeah that is insane. I imagine if you would have swallowed pure capsaicin, it would probably make your throat swell so bad you wouldn't be able to breathe.

OMG Dave!
I use habaneros regularly, but only minced. And I mean MINCED!
Thanks for the rating scale comparison, Drew.
Minu, I loved that part too, but, even more exciting, capsaicin also appears to increase your metabolic rate.

local bar (about 2 blocks from where I live), has 'poppers' - jalapenos filled w/ cheddar and fried, and they offer 'roulette poppers', where one also has an injection of capsaicin extract. It is insane. Both times I've tried it w/ friends I have gotten the 'special' one... It makes your face numb.

Uh...pure cap is 4 times more powerful than pepper spray...are you sure you bit into the pure stuff? That would probably cause some sort of irreversible nerve damage.
The worst I did was a tsp of Mad Dog 357,000 and it made me cone vomit for a bit. It seemed infinitely worse than the 250,000 I had in Dave's Ultimate Insanity. I can't exactly process how a human being could possible ingest something that is 16,000,000 scoville.

Same heat rating as cayenne, though and just as tear-bringing.
