Are you practicing these five weight loss tricks?

• Do you use a covered, opaque dish to house your candy? Do you keep your candy bowl off your desk top?
  
• Do you refrain from eating while multitasking to cut down on mindless consumption?
  
• Are you in touch with your own hunger, able to stop eating when you're no longer hungry?
• Have you downsized your dinnerware so you can downsize your portions?
• Are you talking more so you eat less?

If you answered in the affirmative for all five questions, pat yourself on the back. If not, that's OK. But if you want some simple techniques for tricking your body into dropping a few pounds, you ought to give a few of these a try.
