How to reduce the urge to eat fatty foods?
Let’s see: you are not a sweet type, your problem is more salty foods.
And in particular: pizza, hamburgers, fries or in bags (always fried), croquettes, cheeses, various sauces with which to season snacks, mayonnaise, pork, sausages, etc.
These fatty foods are your Achilles heel.
But a group of researchers has found a way to reduce the urge to eat fatty foods.
It is very simple and requires just a little effort.
I personally think it works. Sure, miracles don’t exist, but since it’s a trick that costs nothing, why not give it a chance?
HOW TO REDUCE THE DESIRE TO EAT FAT FOODS
Researchers at the University of South Florida have realized that, in the case of fatty foods, the smell of these foods can make a difference. If the smell of heavy food like 4-cheese pizza may be tempting at first, what if we smell it for two more minutes?
According to the researchers, we eat less.
The smell of fatty foods is particularly satiating, more so than sweet foods and much more than natural foods.
To reduce the urge to eat these foods, just immerse yourself in their smell and count to 120 before eating them.
So start sniffing the bag of your chips once you open the package. Or before biting into the burger, immerse yourself in its smell by bringing your nose close to the sandwich.
Same thing for the pizza. Or for the mayonnaise. Or for mortadella.
Smell the food and count 120 seconds, continuing to smell it.
And if you cook the food yourself, for example some sausages, just get close (without getting burned or splashed!) To the pan, and smell, smell, smell. It also works, according to the researchers , for cookies with chocolate, peanut butter, etc. For croissants, in short, also for foods that smell a lot of butter.
The researchers conducted a series of experiments using a group of people and a nebulizer.
It was found that those who smelled the food from the nebulizer before eating it for about two minutes, immediately felt less like it. And he ate, without realizing it, less.
So get in line when ordering kebabs, cook your own dishes and train your sense of smell.
Count 120 seconds immersing yourself in the scent of your favorite food.
This simple trick can allow you to reduce the urge to eat practically right away.
