Reduce the amount of food that you eat by confusing your senses. If you are eating a steak but smell a pungent odor of cinnamon, your senses won't enjoy it as much. If you need to lose weight, try producing strong aromas that are unrelated to the foods you are eating. Vary the odors since you can get accustomed to smells quickly.
