Vanilla Scent May Help to Lose weight

This is news to me, but it is a safe method to try. I would recommend adding it to a patients’ lifestyle changes that are designed to cut weight.

Dietitians at St. George’s Hospital in London said Monday they have tested a skin patch that releases whiffs of vanilla and other scents that help to reduce cravings for chocolates and other high-calorie sweet snacks. People who wore the patch on the back of their hand in early tests experienced a change in appetite and lost an average of two kilograms or 4.5 pounds. The study was led by Catherine Collins, who presented her findings last Wednesday at the 13th International Congress of Dietitians in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is unsure how the vanilla patch works but she thinks it may influence satiety. Although the patch reduced the urge for chocolate and sweets, it had no impact on the desire for fatty or starchy food or alcohol.
