1. Satisfy Your Appetite Through Smell
======================================

Smelling certain things can affect your appetite.

Smelling food can make you hungry, hungrier, or
may even satisfy your hunger.

According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, the neurological director of the
Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, smelling
certain food items can fool the brain into thinking the appetite
has been satisfied.

Dr. Hirsch researched scent and hunger with a group of medical
students who were given vials of favorable food aromas to sniff
when they felt hungry.

Some of them lost weight, so he then researched over 3000 people
who were overweight.

These folks were told not to change what they ate or their
exercise patterns. They were instructed to sniff inhalers when
they felt hungry. These inhalers contained the smell of either
banana, green apple, or peppermint.

After six months most people lost weight - some people even lost
up to 100 pounds. The average weight loss was 4.7 pounds a month.

Dr. Hirsch is the author of "Dr. Hirsch's Guide to Scentsational
Weight Loss" (Element Books, $19.95) in which he explains how the
olfactory sense (the sense of smell) works and how it can be used
for weight loss.

Dr. Hirsch is also the expert that large corporations hire when
they want to use scent to sell.

Personally I am curious to know if these scents are synthetic or
authentic. My guess is that they are synthetic based on the
research that I have done on Dr. Hirsch's work.

If you are interested in this topic make sure you check out the
essential oil video tip below. I am showing you how to make your
own "sniffer" with organic peppermint essential oil!

2. Essential Oil Tip: Sniff Peppermint to Curb Appetite
=========================================================

Inhaling peppermint can help to diminish appetite according to
Dr. Hirsch.

There are other advantages to inhaling peppermint such as help
for headaches and clearing up stuffed sinuses.

Watch this video on how to make your own inhaler for peppermint.
