Feng Shui Weight Loss Tips: Kitchen Design
Kitchen is the place directly related to eating. Therefore, this room’s design is the factor that can influence your appetite and, consequently, the weight losing process. In order to eat less, use blue, black and green colors in your kitchen’s or dining room’s design.
- Blue and black colors represent Feng Shui water element, the natural qualities of which have an ability of curbing the appetite. At the same time, Feng Shui water element can be represented by wavy and smoothly curved shapes, as well as mirrors and glass, pictures of fish, waterfalls or sea landscapes.
- Green color represents the energy of Feng Shui wood element. As such, it is a healing color that naturally tends to improve your health. In the kitchen the wood element can be represented by potted plants, wooden furniture, or pictures of trees and plants.
And, of course, do not forget that Feng Shui is always about order and cleanness. So, don’t ever let your kitchen become cluttered – clean the room and organize things regularly.
Feng Shui for Losing Weight: Choosing Dishes
Just like in the design of the kitchen or dining room, blue, dark blue or green colored plates are the best for curbing the appetite. In addition, square dishes are more effective than round ones. This is explained by the fact that round dishes can be characterized by fast and active energy flows. This form of plates attracts fast and active Chi, stimulating, in such a way, eating. Square plates, on the contrary, slow down the flows of Chi, thus helping you to eat less.
In addition, mat dish surface is more appropriate for losing weight than glossy one. Therefore, an ideal choice is square ceramic dishes with dull surface finish. Such plates represent Feng Shui wood element, which strengthens the spirit and, as a result, helps people to stay concentrated on their goals.
Losing weight may become an easy and simple process with the above Feng Shui tips. Use the power of Feng Shui elements for becoming slimmer, healthier and, of course, happier: add mirrors into the house, decorate the kitchen with black and blue, and get a square ceramic dish to help you cope with the unwanted kilos.
