Are you a success at many things in life, but when it comes to losing 
weight you just cannot make any progress? Many people who are successful
 in career, marriage, relationships, finances, and other areas, but 
cannot get the scale to drop. Would you like to learn how to use that 
brain of yours to help make losing fat easier?
Here are two simple weight loss tips for great thinkers:
1. Learn to calculate your hunger number. This is really 
more of a rating system then a calculation, but it works like a charm 
and within a few days you could see a natural reduction in the amount of
 food you eat with no hunger or deprivation.
What you want to do is create a simple Hunger Scale. This is a scale 
with "0" on one end and "10" on the other. The "0" indicates that you 
are not hungry at all, in fact you are feeling stuffed. The "10" 
indicates that you are super hungry and need something now!
What you want to do is set a timer to buzz in two-hour intervals during 
the day. When you hear the buzz simply ask yourself, "How hungry does my
 stomach feel?" Then assign your hunger a number. You will need to do 
this for a minimum of 5 days before you start to see the correlation. At
 around 4 or 5 days you will start to see that you often "feel" like 
eating, but you are not really hungry.
This knowledge will help you make better decisions about how much to eat
 or when to eat. For example, if you walk into a restaurant for lunch 
and discover that your hunger number is only a 2, then you may choose to
 just have a beverage, or have something light, like a salad. You will 
leave the restaurant feeling pleasantly full, instead of stuffed.
Think of how many calories this will prevent you from eating! Simple and effective.
2. Use a Stopper. We are often driven to eat too much 
because of the situation we are in. For example, have you ever gone to 
the movie theater and ordered a large popcorn, just because it seems 
like the right thing to do? We all associate popcorn with movies, but if
 you notice that your hunger number is low, then you may not want to 
indulge in all of the calories.
This is when a Stopper can come in handy. You can eat some popcorn and 
then put a Stopper in your mouth. This is anything that changes the 
taste you have in your mouth, try a strong breath mint or a piece of 
gum. This gives you an opportunity to move away from eating and gives 
your stomach time to tell your brain you feel satisfied. This works 
great for avoiding dessert as well!
Losing the weight is possible and you can make it much easier with more great weight loss tips.
