Shed Pounds by Seasonings Your Food

Shed unwanted pounds by seasoning your food first, then sniff before taking that first bite and chew well.

The researchers asked overweight and obese participants to sprinkle seasonings and flavorings on their food before eating.
A control group was given crystals with no flavor.
Follow up measurements of the volunteers' weight and body mass index over a period of six months revealed that those using seasonings and flavorings lost an average of 30.5 pounds.

The researchers theorize that flavorful food enhances our senses of smell and taste, helps us eat less, savor and ultimately control our weight.
