To lose weight, but not harm the body, you just need moderate your appetites and absorb less than usual. But here’s how stop and not allow yourself too much when everything starts seem so alluring? We know what to do in order not to feel hunger and continue to lose weight.
1. Use blue color
After much research, Chinese scientists discovered the knowledge that this color acts on a person as an appetite-lowering. Blue tablecloths, napkins and dishes, according to the observations of smart Chinese, make people eat slower and faster to pick up signals brain alluding to satiety. However, no one bothers you either repaint kitchen walls in heavenly colors or dine exclusively with sea view.
2. Go on dates
It turned out that at romantic dinners, women demonstrate more modest than usual appetite. But men, on the contrary, on dates eat more than usual.
3. … but don’t have dinner by candlelight
Dim flickering light is a faithful companion of overeating.
4. Close your eyes
For fun, try to dine blindly at least once. Set on table, everything you plan to eat, arm yourself with a fork, spoon and tie your eyes. The essence of the experiment is that you are on a personal experience convinced: a feeling of true satiety occurs long before the compote. The explanation is simple. Man has no time to listen to signals of your body, if all business lunch associates ordered dessert, or something interesting is going on TV, or a citizen with childhood learned that lunch should be comprehensive. But if you learn to listen to your body, even looking at a picturesque table setting, your figure can be envied.
5. Hold the device with your other hand.
Put the plug in the “non-working” hand (left, if you’re right-handed) – and eating as fast as usual will no longer work. It is for you and necessary: the concentration of the satiety hormone leptin reaches the level of “everything, I can’t do it anymore “about 20 minutes after the start of the meal. And then by the time you pick the salad, is there anything already burst out laughing.
6. Love leaflets
In a scientific study proved: women who started dinner from a plate of leaf lettuce (100 kcal), during a feast consumed 12% fewer calories – despite not thinking about a diet or any restrictions. Nutritionists believe the whole secret in the saturating power of dietary fiber, which is rich in green leaves.
7. Beware of pizza
Observational nutritionists note that sliced by wedge-shaped pieces of food (like pizza or grandma’s signature cake) is fraught with particular danger to the waist. This form does not allow adequate to estimate the portion size – that’s the solution to the mystery why apple share always ends too fast.
