1. Silence as "safety lock" from overeating

For anybody not a secret that regular overeating is the main reason of excess weight. Often it is caused by constant experiences and stresses. And the more disorders in human life, the more often he "calms down" by means of tasty and high-calorific food.

The American psychologists found other way of fight against nervous overloads. They suggest … to be in silence more often. The staff of Pennsylvania State University found out that constant noise and tension can be the factors provoking people to overeating. It was convincingly proved by results of a research. According to the author of a research doctor Laura Klein, the woman who should work tensely in a noisy situation (knock with a key, phone calls), consume at 65-70 grams of greasy food more, than their colleagues who work in the quiet atmosphere.

Therefore, coming home after the difficult working day, you should not turn on the music or the TV at once. Just it is better to stay in silence. The stress will leave, and with it – irrepressible desire to absorb sandwiches, cookies and candies.

2. The stronger began to smell, the hunger is less

The Netherlands scientists found out that the feeling of satiety is influenced not only by the volume of the eaten portion, but also began to smell. Strong aromas help to be sated quicker, and we already will definitely not ask additive.

According to the author of a research Rihanna Ryuyshop, she and her colleagues managed to find this aroma. It will help to suppress hunger long before the person eats the habitual volume of food. Thus, the problem of overeating will be successfully solved.

Business remains behind small – researchers should create products which will have this powerful aroma which will cope with feeling of hunger. If they manage it, excess weight can be avoided.

3. Horror films against excess weight

The Hollywood heritage of "horror films" strikes - it is also favourite "Risen from hell", and "A nightmare on Vyazov Street", and "Friday, the 13th", and a novelty of this year of "Drag Me to Hell". The American scientists invite us to assimilate to eminent directors and … to frighten itself.

Let's present that yours 50 or even 60 turned into 90, skin drooped, and even the most dense jeans cannot hide a huge stomach. For realness it is possible even to try to stretch own photo in "Photoshop" – certainly, in width. Well, how – it is terrible?

Psychologists claim that it is very effective method against constant desire to chew rolls or on each commercial break to run to the refrigerator. It is only necessary to exaggerate threat which high-calorific food poses for your figure. And the paints, the better will be more gloomy.

Authors of a research gave this reception the special name – "rejecting treatment". And, by the way, proved its effectiveness during specially organized experiment. Offered two groups of women sweet carbonated drinks: one – indoors with landscapes on walls, to others – with photos of models. For certain, you guess that, seeing before itself images of cachectic beauties, examinees did not even touch drinks. So think of consequences of sweet pleasures more often!

4. Calcium – in the help

Calcium – the reliable assistant to each woman in improvement of a figure. Its shortage provokes appetite and constant thirst for high-calorific products.

Scientists from Medical faculty of Laval came to a conclusion that consumption of calcium in certain doses will help to get rid of excess weight, even without resorting to diets and other restrictions in food.

During the experiment made among women with an excess weight two groups were created. Participants of the first adhered to a diet and consumed 1200 mg of calcium, participants of the second – placebo. It turned out that the women accepting calcium lost in 6 times more of excess weight – 6 and 1 kg respectively.

Scientists consider that 1000 mg of calcium a day will moderate your appetite and will help to normalize weight.

5. The majority of diets is based on unconfirmed data

The president of the British society of gastroenterology Chris Hoki said that the majority of diets is scientifically unreasonable. They are based on food myths which are born and propagate mass media.

So, for example, Hoki calls in question efficiency so of popular nowadays grapefruit diet which is based on the idea about fat splitting by the enzyme which is contained in grapefruit juice. The matter is that enzyme just will not manage to overcome intestines to influence fat.

Professor criticized also a chewing diet which is based on the recommendation to chew each piece of food, at least, 32 times. According to Hoki, it is too the theory which was not confirmed with practice.

The rawism, alkaline diet and many others which professor criticized at the Gastro-2009 conference in London were a target of the scientist.

One of the most plausible diets of Hoki called Atkins's diet. "For weight loss it can be useful because behind a statement that protein in lack of carbohydrates reboots metabolic indicators, really there are scientific data", – he noted.

We advise you not just to choose the pleasant diet from the list presented on the favourite website or in the magazine, and to look for the scientific information confirming it efficiency. Otherwise "to starve itself" just there is no sense.
