Most people who have a weight problem know pretty much everything there is to know about weight, their wellbeing and the things that they should be doing in order to lose weight and improve their wellness. There is a big difference, however, between knowing what to do and actually putting it into practice. Many dieters hear the same pieces of advice so many times that they start to lose their authority and dieters stop believing in them.
So what about a brand new piece of advice that could be the key to weight loss? Olive oil could actually help to cut your intake by around 200 calories every day. You may be asking yourself how ingesting a fatty oil can actually help reduce your calorie intake, and the truth is that this strange tip does not actually involve you ingesting any oil whatsoever. Research has shown that just the smell of olive oil makes people feel full and staves off hunger pangs, so it is merely the aroma of olive oil that could help you to lose weight.
In addition to this, further research was done on yoghurt infused with olive oil, and it was found that participants who ingested this yoghurt ended up having higher levels of the so-called ‘happy hormone’ serotonin in their blood.
It is suggested that those who want to speed up their weight loss simply keep some olive oil on the dinner table, so that the aromas can be inhaled. This should leave to you feeling full and a reduction in hunger pangs, making it easier for you to lose weight. This does not take the place of a healthy eating and exercise programme, but certainly the curbing of hunger pangs should help you to stick to any kind of diet as you will be more resistant to giving in to certain types of foods, especially in the early days of a diet.
In addition to this, the yoghurt experiment shows us that ingesting a little olive oil can also reduce calorie intake as it prompts the hormone serotonin, which can make us feel like we are full.
