A recent study by British scientists from the University of Birmingham on the impact of memory of food on snacking has suggested that if you are feeling hungry but want to lose weight remembering your last meal can suppress your appetite and reduce your desire to snack on junk food. The researchers also showed that concentrating on your food when you eat – rather than grabbing a snack on the go or eating while you watch television – makes you less likely to get hungry later on.

These findings suggest that women who want or need to lose weight can teach themselves to be less hungry and that complementary therapies such as hypnotherapy could help.
