The Mirror May Be Lying
Do you see yourself as fat or frumpy? Blame it on your brain.
Here's why: Your brain routinely maps your body using visual cues and signals from your skin, joints, and muscles. But snags in this system can distort the image and make you mentally overestimate or underestimate your actual body size. So if you want an objective view of your body, don't rely on only your eyes; use your bathroom scale and the way your clothes fit as well.
Your Body's No Fool
Trying to lose weight? Consider avoiding this combination: high-calorie sodas or fruit drinks and dietetic desserts.
The research is preliminary, but a study suggests that this combination may leave your body's appetite control center dazed and confused. Your body naturally thinks that watery drinks (skim milk, coffee, tea) are low-cal, and that sweet, creamy, dense foods are crammed with calories. Switching it up with high-calorie drinks and artificially sweetened desserts may corrupt your body's natural calorie calculator and lead to overeating.
