Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you're on a short-term mission (im)possible to get in shape before swimsuit season like me, then perhaps a little spring re-decorating is in order. As Nicole pointed out yesterday, what colors we paint our walls can affect the way we eat. Ever notice that burger joints use lots of red, orange, and yellow? That's because the opposite, cool colors like blues and greens, help to diminish your appetite. Sounds like a trip to the local Sherwin-Williams might be in order.
However, it's not just about the color of your walls. Research also suggests that fragrances that come from things like scented candles can also help, too. Scents like vanilla tend to calm and reduce the appetite, as does peppermint. According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, of the Smell and Taste Research Foundation, the scents of green apple and banana may also help in weight loss. However, as research has also warned, don't only rely on candle light at dinner time, since dim lighting tends to make people eat more.

If I'm already getting enough input from the candle, I don't feel the need to add a taste to the mix. Who knows? But the Yankee candle company does make candles in appetizing scents like sugar cookie, buttercream, and wedding cake. Would the scent replace the urge to snack on sweets or just remind us that we were hungry for something?
