In this series, Surprising Ways to Slash 500 Calories, we discuss a variety of ways you can easily eliminate 500 calories from your daily routine resulting in an easy weight loss of one pound per week. You may not even think these food or beverage items “count”, but they do. Our job is to help you in your weight loss goals and even if you were to burn one less calorie day; it would add up over time.
Incredibly, studies have shown that blue can be a very important color in burning calories. Have you ever noticed that there are barely any fast-food restaurants using the color blue? Believe it not, the color blue has been researched to function as an appetite suppressant. This could be a game changing fact in your quest to knock calories off your daily diet. You may want to serve food on blue plates, dress in lots of blue, and cover your table with blue tablecloth. You might even consider painting the rooms you eat in blue!
On the other side of spectrum, avoid colors such as red, yellow, and orange while you’re eating as studies have shown they encourage eating. It’s an interesting piece of research! Of course, this could never take the place of vigorous exercise, but scientists say may help curb your eating habits. Why not give it a go? Let us know if this methodology works for you!
