1. sniff a banana, apple, or peppermint: I guess a Doctor did a study on 3,000 people and he came to the conclusion that the more you sniffed, the more weight you lose. It's all about tricking the brain.
2. hang a mirror opposite your seat at the table: eating in front of a mirror apparently cuts your food intake by 1/3...that adds up. I guess looking at yourself in the mirror is almost like yourself reminding you that you're trying to lose weight.
3. surround yourself with blue: blue actually acts as an appetite suppressant while colors like red, yellow, and orange make you want to eat more.
4. shoot your food: not with a gun of course, but with a camera. Forget trying to write down what you eat what century are you from? Instead, break out your camera and take a snapshot! Turns out that when you look back at it, you'll actually stop and think before indulging again.
5. tie yourself up: not to a tree...you'll just look stupid. French women actually tie a ribbon around their waist beneath their clothing before eating. It keeps you conscious of your stomach as you eat (and the ribbon gets tighter)
