First lets take a look at Color in our Diet!

Color therapy for weight loss! 

This sounds fun!

Basics

According to the BHIA Organization, colors affect our mood and energy and as such can be used to treat or affect many aspects of our health and lives. Color therapy is a form of vibrational healing. Colors affect the pituitary, which in turn affect the entire metabolism. Because color therapy hasn't been properly studied, most of the results should be considered anecdote and might or might not work for you.

Appetite Suppression

According to Reader's Digest, the color blue suppresses appetite, so making it part of your eating plan can help your weight loss efforts. Blue plates, a blue tablecloth or even painting the kitchen blue can all help.  The color-therapy expert website Lightstreamers recommends exchanging the small bulb inside your fridge for a blue one so you're less tempted to snack every time you open the fridge.

Home Process

According to ColorMatters.com, blue is not a common color in nature, so your body automatically reacts against any blue food. If you cook, try using blue food dye on the meals you prepare. Adding a few drops to rice, pasta or bread can significantly reduce your attraction to the dish and cause you to eat less. If you can't afford to change the paint or replace the curtains in your home to blue, add touches of the chosen color in small areas around the kitchen or dining room. Introduce one change at a time so you can see what works and what doesn't.

 

Increased Metabolism

The color red increases appetite and shouldn't be used in your kitchen. However, according to Lightstreamers, red also increases metabolism, so it might be a good addition to your weight loss program. To include the color red in your weight loss program without tying it to foods, you could make red solarized water. This is done by wrapping a clear glass with red cellophane paper and putting the glass in the sunlight. After a few hours, the water will be energized with the color red and ready to drink.

 

Debate

According to a 2005 study published by Oxford University Press, the use of colors to treat the body and the mind seem to be effective. However, no scientific proof exists and the most complete, in-depth studies were all done prior to the 1960s. Because healing through colors or chromotherapy doesn't use any tangible items, such as herbs, researchers believe it's harder to prove what works and what doesn't.
