Expert Claims This Concept Can Help With Weight Loss And I Believe It
I spent many years fighting with weight. When I was 21, I worked out four hours a day and had 11% body fat. That ain’t the case now! Age, menopause, surgeries, and my own laziness had contributed to my weight gain the last three years. Now an expert says they have a way to help with weight loss, and it could work for me.
According to MSN, Richard Wisemen, professor and psychologist, is sharing that something easy could lead to weight loss. He’s claiming that by eating with your non-dominant hand, you’ll eat less. And if you eat less, you’ll lose weight. I’m not sure he discovered this idea, but I do know that Googling it you’ll find articles about this as far back as 2015.
Eating with your non-dominant hand will lead to slower eating. In addition, it’s more mindful because you’ll be eating and thinking. For example, if you’re like me and you’re right handed, eating with your left hand will require thinking. You’ll have to focus more on your coordination.
Anyone Else Think A Bib Will Be Needed?
I am not the most graceful person. I never have been. My dad’s nickname for me as a kid was ‘Grace’ if that tells you anything. In addition to being a bit clumsy, I’m also a bit messy. Not day to day and not in my house, but when I’m eating. If there’s someone who will spill something on themselves, it’s me. This is one of the reasons I don’t wear white often. It doesn’t take me long to ruin something with a stain!
All of that said, eating with my left hand will be a ruckus! I’m a mess using my dominant hand! Using my non-dominant hand will be a huge mess! I’ll need a bib! Trying it is a must though. I can see how this theory can work! Eating smaller portions is helpful when trying to lose weight, and I have a feeling that eating using my left hand will result in annoyance. Which will then lead to eating less cause I’ll be so over the mess!
Have you ever tried this? I’m gonna give it a go and I’ll let ya know! $20 I ruin a shirt! LOL!
