To lose weight, you can use a not quite ordinary and familiar to all methods.
Ignoring the rules of etiquette
Scientists from Brigham young University (USA) propose to ignore the rules of etiquette — to crunch, slurp and eat loudly. So, in their opinion, it is possible to control the amount eaten.
During the experiment, two groups of volunteers ate crunchy snacks: chips, crackers, cookies. Those who were wearing headphones, chewing on 30% more than those who heard themselves.
The sound of food affects the subconscious level and helps you to feel saturated.
The plug — more dish — less
The amount eaten depends on the size of Cutlery came to the conclusion, researchers from the University of Utah. They found the opposite pattern: the more — the less you eat.
The experiment was carried out on the unsuspecting one Italian restaurant — the visitors were served food with forks of different size.
Study leader Tamara masters noted: large Cutlery make people pay more attention to consumption volume. Small — soothing act, and the audience has no control over the amount of food.
Dish size is also important.
The more empty space on the dish, the more modest looks the portion. People ask for seconds, forgetting about the figure.
Sniff the oil
For those who want to keep the waist, the British perfumer Eugene Couture advised to carry a bottle of oil of grapefruit. Three to five deep breaths in 6 times a day — and gastronomic madness you will not pull.
Tim Jacob, a Professor from Cardiff University school of Biosciences, with the perfumer only partly agree.
The connection between taste and smell has been proven. 70-80% of the pleasure from the food we get from the aroma.
Some smells on a subconscious level, reduce appetite, some the opposite. However, the use of aromatic tools in the fight against gluttony — is ineffective, sure Tim. To any abrupt and unpleasant odors person sooner or later gets used, and the appetite returns to normal.
“That is why pathologists and forensic experts can safely conduct the autopsy and examine the murder scene. And some of them even parallel to something to chew on,” explains Tim.
Choose blue color
Blue walls reduce appetite. Saw what color painted fast food restaurants? Cool colors you will not find.
Soothing in nature the color blue stimulates the production of a number of chemical substances that slow down the metabolism.
Gamma blue itself is not very appetizing: it is unlikely that you will encounter in nature blue blue vegetables or meat.
Many experts advise to complement your kitchen interior with blue details and some even use dye in the preparation of high-calorie foods.
Eat with your dominant hand
Psychologists from the University of southern California are encouraged to hold a spoon in the not dominant hand (right or — left, left — right). It’s simple — unusual endeavor is to relax and give way to gluttony.
Attention scholars have paid to the movie theaters. Those who ate popcorn non-dominant hand ate 30 percent less.
Turn on slow music
Relaxing music allows you to control appetite, according to scientists at Cornell University. In the course of the experiment in one area of the restaurant they included a clockwork country, the other with soothing tunes.
Visitors of “slow zones” eating slowly and generally ate less.
Maybe because I hear chewing next door neighbour?
Sew language
Want to lose weight — sew up your mouth. Plastic surgeon Beverly hills Nicholas Chugay decided not to invent anything new, but simply transformed the absurd idea I. began to sew the patches on the tongues.
Sophisticated know-how is a plastic overlay on the type of rough Velcro for clothes. The “miracle patch” turns any meal into a real torture and makes it so painful that the patient is forced to refuse hard food.
Website the doctor warns of side effects: tongue swelling, sleep problems and diction. But what the results are: over 10 pounds in a month!
During this month, Chugai offers “easy to follow” liquid diet with a total caloric content of 800 calories a day.
To keep the patch for it is an integral part of the language and is removed only surgically. In Los Angeles the procedure costs $2000. Extreme weight loss method already tested the 60 women.
