Trick Yourself into a Good Diet!

If your New Years Resolution involves losing weight, there’s more to reaching your goal than just exercising. On the other hand, you certainly don’t want to starve yourself, either.

Losing weight requires a delicate balance of discipline, diet, and exercise. On the diet front, there are some simple rules that you can set for yourself to make your dieting process a whole lot easier.

Are you prone to the occasional late night meal or eating too much? Last week, Sploid offered a helpful list of 10 interesting ways you can stop yourself from overeating. Here’s their list!

1. Use smaller plates (fooling the brain.)

2. Use your non-dominant hand to snacks (I really can't understand that, but research shows you eat 20% less.)

3. Use tall glasses instead of short fat ones (ok, that's just physics, but good point.)

4. Place mirrors in your kitchen and fridge door (shame yourself, clever.)

5. Chew fruit-flavored gum when you feel hungry (mint flavor is not as good.)

6. Put your fork or spoon down after each bite (to eat slower).

7. Use red plates (must be something about red meaning stop in our culture.)

8. Don't watch TV when eating (a classic.)

9. Take photos of the unhealthy food you eat (not sure if that works for the Instagram generation).

10. Cut down on the variety of food during a meal (the less you want to try different types of food, the less you will eat.)
