Fail Trick

New Year, New resolution! Talking about body look, I google-ed yahoo-ed some articles about weight loss and there are thousands or even millions of diet related readings. And I found this article about how to trick your munching habit. I tried and failed.

1. Give yourself a manicure. Wet nail polish and oily moisture hands will most likely prevent your intention to grab a bag of chips and you’ll ruin your colored nails. Fail. Result: Do left hand, while waiting to dry, right hand snacking; vice versa.

2. Eat Pistachio. Study found that people snacking on in-shell pistachio eat up to 50 percent less than people who eat the unshelled kind. Simply fail.

3. Dress down. Take advantage of your casual Friday; It is proven that people who wear jeans move around more actively compared to those in business wear. Fail. Result: Casual wear = comfy jeans + baggy top = fat belly hidden = more space to stuff food in your stomach + desserts.

4. Trade Mayonnaise for Hummus; Hummus texture is as creamy as mayonnaise but it has 70 fewer calories. Fail. Result: Eating too much hummus.

5. Phone a friend. When you feel like you want to eat something, grab your phone and start talking with your friends, no emotional eating! Fail. Result: Talking and eating.
