Smell Fruits
And by fruits, we mean bananas and apples. As weird as this might sound, science has proven that you can actually curb your appetite by sniffing bananas or apples. The scientific evidence of this unique but effective method indicates that you actually trick your brain and body into believing that you are satiated and satisfied by smelling fruits.
If you have ever spent loads of time cooking and preparing meals, you might have noticed that your appetite minimizes, and suddenly you don’t feel as hungry as before.
Incorporate Color Therapy
According to the psychology linked with color therapy, each color induces a specific effect on the mind, such as alertness, calmness, passion, etc. The color blue is widely known for its properties of calmness, tranquility, and serenity; it also helps with suppressing appetite.
This aspect perfectly explains why you don’t see a blue interior at fast food joints. Of course, we aren’t asking you to paint your kitchen walls blue; but, wearing blue or using blue kitchenware will add a dose of appetite suppression, and you might eat less than usual, which can help you lose those extra pounds.
Consume Warm Water
You might have heard the amazing benefits of drinking water before; however, if you are really keen to lose your extra pounds naturally, without the need to opt for gastric bypass surgery, we recommend drinking warm water instead of cold or regular tap water.
Not all of us can drink water unless it is chilled and contains loads of ice; different studies suggest that by drinking warm water, you not only lose weight, but it also helps decrease the feeling of appetite and hunger. We recommend drinking warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice first thing in the morning.
Watch Yourself While Eating
Now, this one is pretty weird, eh? But it can help you shed those extra pounds and make you more conscious about the type of food you consume daily. And who knows, you might be inclined to make better food choices and improve the overall quality of your life.
By eating in front of a mirror, you will be able to keep track of how much you eat every day. All you need to do is hang a mirror on the wall opposite your table and observe yourself while you are having your meals and snacks.
Besides, only consume home-cooked food and healthy snacks!
