Chili Heat Dose Titration
Chili heat dose titration raises spice level gradually on a simple scale—avoiding jumps from zero to extra-hot that trigger reflux, urgency, or poor sleep.
Chili heat dose titration means increasing Scoville-level heat slowly—half pepper today, three-quarters next week—while keeping portions and meal partners stable. Jumping from zero to restaurant-extra-hot often triggers reflux, diarrhea, or sleep disruption regardless of willpower.
Track heat on a simple one-to-five scale in your meal log. Pair titration with earlier dinners if nighttime reflux appears.
Common questions
-
Should you titrate heat and portion size at the same time?
Change one variable at a time. Fix plate size and protein first, then raise heat one step for two weeks. Otherwise you cannot tell whether volume or capsaicin caused the flare.
