Do you have trouble with binging?
This is a pretty cute way to handle with it
THE BLUE TECHNIQUE
This technique makes you feel (slightly) queasy about eating.
Have you ever noticed that not many foods are blue in color?
i mean THIS TYPE OF BLUE.
It's kinda .. ugh.
Imagine rice/pasta/chocolate in that color!
ABOUT THIS TECHNIQUE
This technique was found in a japanese fashion magazine. Japan (as you may know) is famous for their many quirky diets and also for their very slim people. Examples of these are the Morning Banana Diet and Diet Water (what???). The Blue Technique ( I'm unsure of the real name.. probably something like Daieto no Aoi or something ... ) is among the weird but slightly helpful ideas that come from the land of the rising sun!
HOW TO DO THIS
1. You can wear blue sunglasses (rather hard to find unfortunately).
2. You can add food coloring to your rice and pasta when cooking OR you can add it to cakes and cookies when you're baking!
3. Eat off blue colored plates and use blue colored cutlery! (Very pretty and colorful!)
Please note that this may not work for everyone.
Please note that too much food coloring may be harmful, so only add this to things that you simply cannot resist.
If Blue isn't disgusting enough for you, you can try green, black, orange, red, etc...
i made green scrambled eggs last St Patricks Day and I had to agree with my 5 year old "They just don't taste right!" even though the food colouring had no flavour, it was just gross!!!
I had a strong-stomached friend in college who shared an apartment with three other young women, all of whom would raid her specialty foods and little luxuries that she bought herself--real mayo, flavored coffee creamer, that kind of thing. She got tired of other people using up her stuff, so she mixed unappetizing colors into all her food; it didn't bother her any, but no one else could stand a green-ham-and-blue-mayo sandwich.
I've read that certain colors are just naturally less appetizing, blue especially. I think this might work out okay at first, but as you got more used to the blue, it might lose some of its efficacy, maybe? Melty chocolate looks downright appalling, but I'll eat it anyway because hel-LO, chocolate!

(unfortunately, the green pancakes tasted fine )
I like your suggestion! Thanks!!!
ew. green eggs. Well if you think about it, green eggs look more like a giant booger than a lovely omelet. :/

green ham... oooh that reminds me of Dr.Seuss' book: "Green Eggs and Ham".
Blue's not unappetizing... it's just that there aren't many foods with such a bright color. I bet if bread and rice were blue, we wouldnt mind!
AH! An idea for chocolate is that you can melt it and use realistic bug shaped molds to make it look like a beetle. EW
Or you can add yellow to make it look like dung. Seriously.

I'm one of those unaffected by the sight of food on a blue plate. My everyday dishes are in the Blue Willow pattern & I sometimes serve food on antique Flow Blue china, and I have not noticed this diminishing my appetite in any way.
If I really want to binge, I'm gonna binge. And anyway often I don't bother with plates. It's just me & a spoon, at best.

Same here. I find the blue cutlery and plate rule rather... weird. I'd actually eat more if I ate off a pretty plate like that D:
This works for me! I am a marshmallow FREAK but back when I ate sugar I would NEVER eat blue Peeps. I would not touch blue M&M's or blue raspberry anything.
Too bad all of those things come in more appetizing colors...
On a contrary note, I seemed never to have a problem with Culver's... Wahhhhh
