You know the drill when it comes to losing weight: take in fewer calories and burn more calories.1.If you're trying to drop a few pounds fast, these interesting tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quick.
Eat in front of mirrors and you'll lose weight
One study finds that eating in front of mirrors reduces the amount people eat by nearly one third. Having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals.2.
Sniff a banana or an apple when you feel hungry
3.Researchers find that the more frequently people sniff, the less hungry they are and the more weight they lose—an average of 30 pounds each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you're actually eating it.
4.
Whether that's a floor, a couple of windows, or your car, a 150-pound person will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning. Scrub for 30 minutes and you could work off approximately 120 calories, the same number in a half-cup of frozen yogurt.
Start at the color blue
There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: it helps to control an appetite. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. 5.Studies find they encourage eating.
A. You might feel silly, but it works.
B. Therefore, adjust your eating habits.
C. Wash something thoroughly once a week.
D. That's all it takes to lose as many pounds as possible.
E. On the contrary, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas.
F. In other words, it reminds you of why you're trying to lose weight in the first place.
G. But you also know that most diets and quick weight-loss plans don't work as promised.
