Using Your 5 Senses to Win the Weight Loss Battle - Sight, Sound, Touch, Smell, Taste
Oh - and let's not forget our sixth sense: a little common sense!Sense of Diet SightTake a convenience store sandwich sealed in a plastic triangular container OR a freshly prepared sandwich and most of us will take fresh every time! There is a very ancient saying, "Seeing is believing." That is so true in the case of dieting. We must convince ourselves that what we are seeing on our plate is something that we truly want to eat. Back to our sandwich... The sealed sandwich may actually end up tasting BETTER than our fresh one! It's all in the art of presentation. For example: We have a heavily frosted teensy piece of devil's food cake that looks utterly mouth-watering and is sitting on a beautiful blue china plate. Next to the yum yum, we have a delicately light, VERY LARGE piece of anglefood cake that is draped with light whipped topping. Swimming inside the white cloud are fresh ruby-red, sliced strawberries dusted with a smidgen of powdered sugar - all of which is residing on a beautiful blue china plate. The devil's food cake contains three times the fat and calories as the anglefood choice and is three times less food. Which will we choose? More than likely, we'll shoot straight for the anglefood. Again, 'diet presentation'. The example of the cakes above is a very good 'inside secret' of dieting! If your food selections are set out in a pretty, appetizing fashion, you're going to be more apt to stick with your diet because you've made it creative, you've made it fun and most importantly, you've satisfied 'Your Diet Eye'. Later in the day should you get Diet Wanderlust, you can say to yourself, "Hey, I had a very wonderful lunch so I shouldn't be hungry right now. And I'm not!"
