#1 - This is a method we didn't know about until recently, and it involves food scent.
Smelling food can trick your brain into thinking you've eaten.
A recent study found that those who inhaled peppermint in scent form every 2 hours ate (get this) 2700 calories LESS per week than they normally did.
Let us put that in perspective: That's a fatloss of more than half a pound a week... from sniffing peppermint!
Vanilla also works. You can keep vanilla-scented drops or even candles around the office and take a wiff every few hours.
How easy is that?
#2 - Eat a handful of nuts 20mins before any meal. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc...(preferrably raw nuts as this reduces the oxidation of polyunsaturated fats)
The reason it works is because the healthy fats, fiber, protein, and density of micronutrients (antioxidants, vitamins, minerals) in nuts help to satisfy a lot of the nutrition needs of your body, thereby greatly reducing your appetite before eating full meals.
