f you want to shed pounds, you know the best way to do it: healthy eating and exercise. That being said, we've learned about some pretty interesting -- and, well, seriously strange -- weight-loss tricks via research over the past year. Check them out...
Whiffs of Peppermint
Smelling peppermint on the regular may help lower hunger levels and calorie intake, per a study we reported on in December.
Your Dishware -- If It's the Right Color
A study published last month found that using red plates could help you eat less. (Home goods stores probably have some awesome after-Christmas sales right now!)
The Color That Makes You Eat Less
Cold Hard Cash
Paying with bills instead of a credit card may help you pick out healthier foods, according to research reported on in the fall.
Chocolate
Chowing down on the sweet stuff is associated with lower levels of abdominal fat, according to research we told you about in November. And while that's clearly not causation, we'll take it!
How to Curb Your Sweet Tooth
The Temp in Your Bedroom
Turning down your thermostat at night may give your weight-loss efforts a boost. In a study we told you about last summer, participants who slept in a 66-degree room burned more than seven percent more calories while Zzzing than participants who slept in a 75-degree room.
Low-Cal #FoodPorn
Sticking pics of low-cal grub on your fridge -- and having a look before you snack -- may help you eat less while dieting, suggests results from a study we told you about last month.
The Secret Ingredient for Weight Loss
The State of Your Desk
Spend time in a tidy workspace versus a messy one, and you'll be more likely to choose a healthy snack, says a study we reported on last summer. One point for organization!
Eat in front of a mirror
Researchers from Arizona State University and Erasmus University Rotterdam found that watching ourselves eat can be a powerful trigger to consume less. During their experiments, the researchers placed a mirror in front of participants and found that those eating in front of a mirror consumed less food. The researchers believe that this is because seeing ourselves eat makes us more aware of our bodies and that we do not want to watch ourselves overeat.
Choose male eating companions
If you want to cut down on your food consumption when dining out, research suggests that opting for male eating companions could help you to consume less food. Researchers from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the University of Akron found that both men and women consumed fewer calories when dining with men than with women. The researchers believe that this is because we are more aware of our gender when around the opposite sex and women restrict their eating to appear "more feminine" while men eat more around women to appear "more masculine".
Pay with cash
According to a study by researchers at Cornell and Binghamton Universities, your credit card could be making you fat. While it has been known for a while that we are more likely to splash the cash when we are paying by card than by coins, the study results found that paying with plastic also has disastrous results for your waistline, as people are more likely to buy junk food and "vice" products - which tend to be impulse purchases - when paying by card. To keep off the pounds and save yourself some money, draw out enough cash for the day and then leave your cards at home.
Sniff vanilla
Sugar cravings ruining your diet? Then lighting a vanilla candle or spritzing on some vanilla-scented perfume could help to keep you slim. A study at St George's hospital, south London, found that putting vanilla-scented patches on the back of participants' hands significantly reduced their appetite for sweet foods and drinks. It is believed that this is because the smell of vanilla can help to suppress sweet cravings.
Never eat in your pyjamas
While eating in your pyjamas will not necessarily make you fat (although late-night snacking can certainly be a diet-killer for many of us), wearing loose clothing such as baggy lounge pants and pyjamas can lead you to snack more. This is because baggy clothes give you the illusion of being slimmer and make you think less about your figure. While it is inadvisable to dress in uncomfortably restrictive clothes for your meals, wearing slightly more fitted clothes can help you to think more about your body and is also a better indicator of fat loss or gain than getting weighed on the scales.
