Is Your Dining Room Keeping You Fat?
by Susan Rutter

When you're following all the "rules" but the scale just won't budge, look around your dining area for clues to why you can't lose, say practitioners of feng shui. You subconsciously respond to signals in your environment that affect your mood and appetite, says Nancilee Wydra, founder of the Feng Shui Institute of America. But making changes to your living room space can encourage you to stick to a diet. Here, fixes that melt off pounds - pronto!

Make cravings vanish

One surefire way to slim down quickly. Hang a mirror in your dining room or eat-in kitchen. Your eyes are attracted to the light that's reflected from a mirror, and as any women knows, looking at yourself in a mirror can spark weight-loss motivation. Research proves it: In a recent Iowa State University study, people who dined in front of a mirror ate up to 32 percent less fat than those who didn't.

Feel full faster

Study after study shows that when you eat more slowly, you eat less. And placing a ticking clock near where you eat can do the trick. The repetitive, measured sound of a ticking wall clock, sets a relaxed, slow chewing pace. And by eating slowly, you give your brain a chance to catch up with your stomach and register the "I feel full" sensation before you dip into extra helpings.

Turn off hunger

Set your table with a black runner or funky black plates for a slimming change of pace. Black absorbs energy, subduing your senses and, in turn, your appetite says Jayme Barrett, author of "Feng Shui Your Life." And whatever you do, avoiding using red place settings. This stimulating color has been shown to turn on appetite (which some experts say is why fast-food restaurants favor it!).

Fire up your willpower

Before you eat, straighten up a little by wiping down your kitchen counters. Since clutter represents yet another to-do, it drains your energy and determination to eat right. In fact, a recent study linked untidiness with overeating. But even the tiniest attempt to clean up, like tossing the trash, can get you back on the diet bandwagon by fueling "I can do it" feelings.
