Uncanny Weight-Loss Tricks
We have heard all the tried and true weight loss ideas, most fail. We know that if we eat less and eat right we will lose weight. But there are some unusual and downright bizarre tricks out there that can help you shed those unwanted pounds. Remember normal is boring so why not shake it up a little and give a few of these not so mainstream tricks a try.
Go Blue
The color blue is where it’s at when it comes to food. According to studies, you will eat less if you will eat in a blue room. True story. Blue serves as an appetite suppressant. If you want the full blue effect, eat on blue plates, wear blue to dinner and use a blue tablecloth. Studies show that by surrounding yourself with blue you will eat less. Colors that can actually cause you to eat more include red, yellow and orange. If you notice restaurants use these colors because the more you order the more money they make.
Become a Super Sniffer
It is said that sniffing food will trick your brain into thinking you have actually eaten that banana or piece of chocolate cake. People who smell foods regularly will lose more pounds, on average 30 pounds more. So breathe deeply and often. While I know it sounds “out there” it actually really works. Try it!
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Placing a mirror opposite your table can decrease the amount of food you eat by about a third. Having to look yourself in the eye as you take every single bite will help you be more mindful of your food choices. It also helps remind you of your weight loss goals. Remember that the looking glass tells no lies. While a little creepy, if you have run out of options, this might help you.
Freeze Frame
Instead of the traditional food journal, take photos of the food you eat. You can save them on your phone or PC and organize them by date. By doing this you will have a visual reminder of what you ate and can help you see if your portions were right on or a little too grand and helps you adjust accordingly.
Two Shots a Day
Some experts say that two shots of apple cider vinegar a day helps keep the weight off. It is thought that drinking vinegar works by flushing fats out of the colon and improves digestion as well as curbing your appetite. So bottoms up.
You’re Getting Very Sleeeeeepy
Get hypnotized to lose weight. Hypnosis evokes a state of deep relaxation; this relaxing state aides in cortisol levels, a stress related hormone which cues the body to add pounds around your middle. Why not give it a try, at the very least you will feel a bit mellow.
Tied in Knots
French women are said to tie a ribbon around their waist underneath their clothes to let them know when they have eaten enough. When the belly starts to expand the ribbon gets tighter, this lets you know that just one more slice of pizza might not be a very bright idea.
