It’s easier to shed extra pounds if you know a few tricks.
You Will Need
- A blue light bulb
- Low-cal starters
- Limited food choices at meals
- Smaller plates and bowls
Step 1: Get the blues
Change the light bulb in your refrigerator to a blue one. It will make everything in the fridge look unappetizing, because we unconsciously associate blue with moldy food.
Yellow, red, and orange stimulate the appetite.
Step 2: Spoil your dinner
Eat an apple, a small, low-cal salad, or a cup of soup before lunch and dinner, especially if you’re having a fattening entree. Studies show you’ll consume fewer total calories because you’ll be less hungry for the main meal.
Step 3: Limit your choices
Limit the number of different tastes at each meal. Research has shown that if we are experiencing just one taste, like a casserole, we’ll stop eating when they’re full. But if we allow our taste buds to jump around from sweet, to salty, to savory, and back again, we tend to eat past the point of fullness.
Variety is a main reason we eat an extra 1,500 to 5,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner alone.
Step 4: Cut down on sugar
Cut down on added sugar – sugar that doesn’t occur naturally in food. The average American consumes 30 teaspoons – 450 calories – of added sugar per day; think about that before you pour sugar into beverages and onto foods. And avoid foods that list sugar as one of the first three ingredients, or that contain several types of sugar.
Fructose, corn syrup, fruit-juice concentrate, malt syrup, sucrose, molasses, dextrose, and glucose are all sugars.
Step 5: Use smaller dishes
Eat off smaller plates. Studies show you’ll eat fewer calories without even missing them.
Sugar-free gum isn’t calorie-free: One stick has 5 to 10 calories.

The apple part really works- I have used this technique before.
What helps me is always eating at the same time and making a list of everything I eat.

This is a great video! I always eat some veggies or something healthy before I go to dinner parties or buffet style venues. (weddings etc) It helps to curb your taste buds so you don't go overboard. Takes away the sweet tooth cravings too!

Hi, I agree with eating something before dinner, an apple, banana or even a carrott works. Also another good tip is eating with chopsticks! believe me you eat less and feel fullier - try it.
