Cut calories by dreaming about food
I'm thinking back to the dinner I had last night. I'm visualizing it: Spinach lettuce, red grapes, shredded carrots, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, topped with salmon. No dressing. Just a bowl full of healthy stuff, all mixed together, simply scrumptious.This visualization exercise is intended to cause me to eat fewer calories today. Not sure it's working. I think it's making me hungry instead.
According to the August issue of The Oprah Magazine, the findings of a study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior (2008) reveal that women who wrote a detailed description of their last meal (it happened to be lunch for this study) ate fewer cookies than those who didn't. OK, so maybe I should have written down my dinner items. No. I don't think that would have worked any better. Obviously, for some, journaling past meals does work. Might want to try it and see if it works for you.

I thinkthat this really works. I use a journal to track what I am eating and abut how much in my mind I think I ate, and it works. I eat less the next meal or I make better choices. I always try to eat nutrient dense foods that I feel are helping my body.
