So I read cosmo very faithfully, and I read that blue is the most unappealing food there is. There is no real blue food. So, if you want to lose weight, use a blue plate! It said that it would decrease your appetite subconsiously! I'm gonna try it!! I also read that if you are eating too much on your plate, to get a smaller plate!

I've read that, too, in the past, but it never stuck with me enough to actually try it.

I always eat my food on small plates and in small bowls. Truly makes a difference when you are cutting portions and makes a smaller portion look a lot bigger. Also doesn't make me miss what I am trying to not eat.
I have blue plates. I really don't think it makes a difference.

But after eating from a blue plate for a while, wouldn't you come to subconsciously associate blue with food?

I have a set of blue plates and a set of white plates.  There is no difference in my appetite depending on which I choose to you.  Sorry.

 Or everything will taste like blueberries. Mmmm... blueberries...

Maybe that would explain why I have a hard time getting my 4yr old daughter too eat her dinner at night!!!  She has blue tableware!!!  OMG, if that is all there is too it, than thanks for the pointer!!!

 LMAO... please update and tell me if changing the color of her utensils is effective. Out of sheer curiousity.

Loves it!

maybe for some people but I don't really look at the plate when I eat, usually I eat in front of the tv or computer so I'm only focusing on the taste of the food not what I'm eating it from :\

what about blue cheese! .. maybe that's why it's so unappealing

Same here. I'll eat 2,000 calories off that blue plate if I'm in the right mood.
