Eating your greens, scrapping takeaways and hitting the gym are the obvious go-to options in the quest to lose weight. NHS GP Zak Waqar-Uddin, based in Lancashire, said there's no such thing as 'a quick fix' when it comes to weight loss — but agrees some of the more bizarre techniques could help. Experts say being undistracted while you eat, like when sat at the dinner table, can subtly help you recognise when you are full. Eating food on a red plate has been found to prevent over-eating. Meanwhile, Belgian philosopher Franz Delboeuf found that smaller plates could help you eat less, according to his studies dating back to the 1860s.
