Mental Tricks

If you struggle to resist the tempting sugary and junk food you might want to try a mental trick. If you can say no to the food one time or walk past the temptation, you will now have a mental picture of triumph and control for the next time you face the specific food you crave.

If you do have a sweet tooth, you might consider a recent study that suggested that people who eat specific servings of sweets with a variety of colors are more satisfied than others who chose sweets with one hue or flavor. A more diverse sensory experience may allow you to be satisfied with a smaller helping.
