Weight-Loss Tip: Stop Your Junk Food Cravings
OK, so cake doesn’t usually smell bad. In fact, it probably smells so good you can’t help but eat an extra slice! And that’s exactly why the Olf Factor is so important. Your sense of smell, also called your olfactory sense, is very powerful and can affect how much you enjoy your food.
When a food smells delicious, you want to eat it. But when a food smells bad, you turn your nose up at it regardless of how it tastes. That’s why I suggest you mentally conjure up a disgusting smell whenever you find yourself craving unhealthy food you’re not truly hungry for. Often, just thinking about a bad smell is enough to turn off your appetite – even when you’re staring at that tempting cream puff. Use this smell association to help you avoid certain foods, and you’ll easily reduce your calories to a healthy level that promotes weight loss.
