They have been tied to more dastardly poor health conditions than the most villainous of comic book heroes. The problem is that these recommendations could not be further from the truth.

March 6, 2019Color Up Your Food and Dinner Plate for Weight Loss
When I started to research this as a topic after reading an article on colors of plates and weight loss, I thought this topic is crazy. The color of a plate is not going to cause someone to lose weight. What inherent property would a colored plate have that could introduce weight loss? It is not going to post your metabolism. Then it hit me. I had a class in advertising and psychology in college that discussed colors and what emotions they cause. It is possible.
The bottom line: These are a few of the recommended weight loss tips that have worked for me, so I decided to write about them. I will post more in the next couple of months and continue to add them in lists. I hope you find each of them helpful.
