To withstand even the simplest diet is not an easy task. I want to lose weight, but only stress occurs or it becomes boring, the hand itself reaches for a cookie or candy, then a feeling of guilt immediately comes. The breakdown occurs suddenly, it is difficult to resist. But it turns out that you can defeat the craving for sweets without hard prohibitions and counting calories. A simple thin elastic band on the hand helps to quickly turn off the “zhora mode” and not to break, “reflash” the brain, and the craving for sweets goes almost imperceptibly.
What to do
Put on a free thin elastic band on the left wrist (for right -handed) and vice versa. They felt a desire to “look” into the refrigerator without hunger – pull it slightly and release. Do not click strongly to jump in pain, you need a short signal.
Why is it effective
The method belongs to the soft version of obverse therapy: a light click gives the brain an uncomfortable signal, connects impulsive desire with an unpleasant sensation.
Due to repetitions, new conditional braking is formed in the head: the brain begins to “not love” the very thought of excess snack. In the 1980s experiment, participants reduced calories by 15% after 3 weeks of practice.
Council from a psychologist from TG channel “Psychology for dummies” advises:
Change the gum once every two weeks so that the signal does not “get bored”.
In skin diseases, impaired sensitivity and eating disorders, discuss the idea of a doctor or psychotherapist.

Before starting changes in nutrition or training, it is recommended to consult a dietitian or attending physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the selected measures.
By the way, this is how sweet it is possible – and the minus of the “belly” to the weekend.
