I love the smell of vanilla - and have bought vanilla perfume from The Body Shop. I understand that wearing it can alter the way you eat and help you lose weight. I'll have to get some more!

Helps you lose weight you say..... can I drink the stuff? it'll save me cutting off a leg to lose some.

(gave up smoking and some xtra kg's have snuck on)

When I gave up smoking I got stuck into oranges, now I can't stand them. I was told that lecithin is good for cravings and helps stop the weight gain. I took those as well so maybe it worked as I didn't put any extra weight on. It's also good for the memory function plus a few others.

Congratulations on giving up smoking, it's not easy to do.

Oh yes it is, I've done it dozens of times!

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the aroma may satisfy the appetite. It's like people were saying about chocolate and coffee - it's often the smell that people like, rather than the taste.

It'd be worth a try PDM. When my brother gave up smoking he had incredible cravings but the doctor put him onto lecithin capsules plus tablets in lieu of patches as he believed they worked better. He's now been 'clean' for a year.

Actually, I read a book by a bloke called Alan Carr... called "Stop Smoking". Picked it up on a sunday morning, put it down 11pm that night, smoked all day during reading it, and havent touched one since, no cravings, no grumpyness... utterly no desire to smoke at all.

That's great shinrai. Now tell me, just how scary was that book that you've done so well?

That is good, Shinrai.

See, you cannot trust the products made by man. Trust in products that God made for you.
