So, you don't want to actually eat that Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Well, you do want to eat it, you just know you should not eat it. So, is smelling it enough to quench your appetite? Like, smelling it all day long, I mean.

There are some heavenly perfume scents on the market, and you might consider spraying up with your favorite food aromas. Straight from the company Demeter Fragrances, calorie-free sweets and other treats might be just what you need to stave off your sinful desires. Or maybe they'll send you straight to the supermarket, where you'll stuff your face full of goodies. You make the call.

Check out the menu on this website for all sorts of delectable body options, like birthday cake, apple pie, cotton candy, even some egg nog and gingerbread in honor of the holidays past. Now, I'm all for candles that smell like food (vanilla cupcake, umm, umm good), but I think I'm not so keen on the sticking such smells on my skin. And you?

Want to drop a few pounds? Add some spice to your meals -- any kind will do, as long as it's low in calories. According to Fit Celeb, adding zero-calorie spices to your meals can help you lose weight. In fact, in studies, participants who did just that lost an average of 30 lbs in six months, compared to two lbs in the control group. Wow. The key to the weight loss was attributed to the aroma of the dishes -- taking a moment to savour the smell of the food was key to participants' weight loss.

A few things to keep in mind: Butter is not a spice, and neither is salt -- both will likely cause you to gain weight rather than lose it. However, be sure to stock up on healthy, flavourful spices like cinnamon, dill, rosemary, curry powder and so on.

What's your favourite spice?

Okay, so the title of this post is misleading. The 'calorie-free' foods listed in this article are not all truly calorie free, but their definitely low in Calories and good enough for you that they're worth consuming a few calories for. Anyway, here's the list of items that you should consume without consequence. Each as much of these as you want, eDiet's claims:

-Hot tea sweetened with splenda
-Berries
-Citrus fruits
-Sugar-free jello with sugar-free, fat free whipped topping
-Egg whites, prepared with calorie-free non-stick spray of course
-Veggies
-Water

I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners and fat-free whipped topping has too many chemicals for my taste, so I'll stick to the fruit, veggies and water. What about you? What guilt-free foods do you snack on?
