A couple of weird old tips...

I was surfing the web this morning, checking out the lies and truth on weight loss and weight maintenance tht permeate the web, and came across these interesting little tidbits, that I'd never heard before.

Most of the tips on the page were kind of silly, but these two sounded interesting:

I don't know if they'll work...but hey, give 'em a try...not just once, of course. As with anything that you're experimenting with, you need to give it a fair trial. Keep notes of your success, or lack of success, over the course of a week:

1) Are you having a craving for a sugary trick? Break out a vanilla candle (or open up a small bottle of vanilla extract).

2) Add more hot spices or spicy foods to your meals

Spicy foods can reduce your appetite by increasing your body's norepinephrine and epinephrine levels. Canadian researchers found that people who ate appetizers with hot sauce ate 200 less calories than people who did not use hot sauce and... Another study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that women who added 2 teaspoons of dried red pepper on their food ate less calories during the day.
