Color Therapy Weight Loss Tips
6. Replace your current refrigerator light with an inexpensive blue light. Blue light is thought to shrink growth and suppress the appetite.
7. Invest in a pair of yellow color therapy sunglasses, and wear them for 20 minutes a day to improve your focus and help you stick to your diet.
8. Take 10 minutes to visualize the color red. Do this twice a day for best results. Imagining red works differently on the mind and body than actually seeing red.
9. Hang pictures around the table or dining area that feature greens, violets and blues. These colors are thought to suppress the appetite.
10. Invest in a stylish black tablecloth. Black is also thought to suppress the appetite.
11. Drink red energized water to suppress your appetite. Invest in clear glasses with a red tint, or buy a red light gel and wrap it around an 8-ounce glass. Fill 2 of the glasses with 8 ounces of water. Cover the glasses using plastic wrap, and leave them outside in direct sunlight for at least three hours. Drink a glass of energized water in the morning and another in the evening.
