WEIRD Ways to SHED the POUNDS!

Weird ways to lose weight

Ever wonder why you never see fast-food restaurants decorated in blue? Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve your dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. When eating, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas they encourage eating (good choice of colors McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Popeyes, Red Lobster, Wendy's etc.)
