Scent Saturation

Use non-food scents to 'noise-cancel' food cravings.

Olfactory signals drive a huge portion of hunger. When a craving hits, smell something completely non-edible and intense (like eucalyptus or tea tree oil). It disrupts the neural pathway currently obsessing over pizza.

Execution Tips

⊕Carry a small vial of essential oil.
⊕Sniff it for 30 seconds when you walk past a bakery.
⊕This acts as a 'reset' switch for the nose.

Cautions

⊗Don't get the oil on your skin/eyes; some scents are irritants.
