If You Want To Eat Less Try To Exercise…Your Mind!

Who doesn't want to lose weight? I don't know about you but the one thing that is the hardest for me when it comes to weight loss is the eating. This one trick might help with the battle.

Companies know that we struggle with weight loss so they bombard us with "quick fixes" to help with difficult task of losing weight. But this is not one of those tricks and it might actually work.

If you want to eat less, try an exercise of the mind. A study from the Netherlands reports that a brief meditation may help you control your appetite. Hungry people ate fewer cookies after a 14 minute "body scan," during which they shifted their attention to different body parts and noticed their sensations, than those who didn't do the exercise.

The meditation made them more accepting of their feelings of hunger and satiety, an effect that may have reduced their desire to consume high calorie foods, says study author David Marchiori, Ph.D.
