If you want to lose weight, keep in mind that you’re not going to be able to do it with a fad. However, many “new and popular” diets on the market are just that - fads. Most of these diets work for just a very short period of time because they’re not realistic. They only work for a small number of people and those who lose weight often regain it very quickly, perhaps more than they lost to begin with.

Only a few diets work for a lot of people, and these diets are really lifestyle changes rather than diets. They don’t impose overly restrictive and impossible restrictions on you that simply can’t work over the long term. They work because they respect and appreciate your body and how it was meant to work. They teach you how to succeed over the long haul, not just in the short term.

The truth of the matter is that people really do love to eat. A major part of the joy of eating is the taste and the smell of the food. This creates the total experience. It just so happens that people sometimes really love to go for food that is basically “bad” for them. Many of these foods have smell and taste characteristics that are just too hard to resist for too many people.

This makes it extremely difficult to maintain the will power necessary to avoid much of the tempting foods and creates a situation which causes a lot of diets not to work. If you add to that the long established bad eating habits that many overweight people have established, you have a recipe for failure.

In addition, people are individuals, so that the way we metabolize and digest food can change the way we handle it in terms of weight gain or loss. Different people eat for different reasons, and stress can make some people turn to rich and fattening foods.

While some people struggle to be trim and slender, others have to struggle to gain weight. Some people should be avoiding high GI carbohydrates more than others because their bodies cannot cope with the sugar load. Others have problems with fat and cholesterol metabolism. How can any fad weight loss diet promise to apply to everyone when we are not all the same?

However, there is one new weight loss method that is not a fad. It doesn’t make empty promises and it’s not a diet. In fact, it’s a holistic method that has been tested scientifically. It respects your body and how it really works, which means that IT WORKS. It utilises your senses of taste and smell so that you really can effectively lose weight. In other words, your nose knows.

Medical director of the Body Metabolism Institute, Dr. Leon Massage has founded a very successful weight loss program in Melbourne, Australia. His method is natural and drug-free, and helps his patients control their appetites and avoid binge eating. As he was investigating methods for this weight loss method, he discovered some research done by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. The research included 108 overweight volunteers who were on average 48 years of age and 197 pounds. Their average body mass index was 31, with a body mass index over 30 being considered “obese.”

The group was given two bottles of different-flavour crystals every month over the course of six months and these volunteers were asked to sprinkle the crystals on each daily meal. They were asked to continue their normal eating and exercise programs, if applicable. By the end of the six months, 92 of the volunteers finished the study (85.1%). They lost an average of 33.6 pounds (15.2 Kg), an average weight loss of 5.6 pounds per month.”

The conclusion reached from the trial is that certain smells and tastes can induce a very real sense of being satiated, that is, a feeling of being full. This occurs even if the same foods as always are eaten and no additional exercise is undertaken. By naturally feeling no more desire to overeat or eat in a way that is out of balance with their own personal body chemistry, people naturally begin to lose weight until they get to their personal ideal range of weight or BMI There was no need to force unnatural, often painful behaviour patterns on the people who lost weight.

Dr. Massage of the Body Metabolism Institute has gone a step further and created the BMI Weight Loss Wristband. In this wristband, he infused special scents that suppress hunger. The wristband is worn during the day and the person wearing it can simply sniff it whenever he or she wishes to eat more than is appropriate. When the wearer has the wristband on, hunger is curbed via neuro-association with the message and the smells so that he or she does not overeat.

Losing weight should now no longer be painful. With Dr. Massage’s wristband, losing weight becomes effortless, natural, painless, and most of all sustainable. The results speak for themselves
