Want to lose weight?  Put a blue light in your refrigerator, as well as in your dining room.  And … dye your food blue.

Why?  Blue food is rare in nature.  Aside from blueberries and blue-purple potatoes, blue foods don’t exist in any significant quantity.  There are no blue leafy vegetables or blue meats that I know of.

Back in the day, when man was out foraging for food, it became apparent – as people gasped for air, dropping dead on the spot 🙂  –  that blue, purple or black were ‘colors of warning’ of potentially deadly food.  Therefore, we don’t have an automatic appetite response to blue food.  We may even have a built-in primal avoidance.

So – paint your safe corner or room a cool color so that you can chill!

And test the theory on this 5 Yum, Delish – Blueberry Cobbler recipe.  Not poisonous, but will one slice  suffice?  (Source:  All Is Forgiven, Move On – a book that is chock-a-block with fat busting information, motivation, inspiration and 5 yum delish recipes!)
