Eliminate senses of taste and smell.

When I see ads for things that are supposed to suppress our appetites in order to lose weight, I often find myself thinking "I don't overeat because I'm hungry. I often just eat because it tastes soooo good."

I think of the times when I have lost my sense of taste and smell due to a cold. During such times I only eat when I'm actually hungry and never overeat.

I think if someone could discover some way to turn off my sense of smell and taste when I want to, I would never have a problem being overweight. :smile:

    Yor bang on olDave but I know I'd get the stares walking into KFC with a gas mask on.

    You're spot on. I'm getting over a cold and could not smell or taste anything the last couple of days. I stopped eating the Ben & Jerry's I had because there was no point if I couldn't taste the deliciousness.

    Same with smell. I opened a can of coffee and took a big sniff. Nothing. I did not make coffee.

    I definitely didn't eat unless I was hungry.
