It was always a difficult task for me to judge how much i can eat. Due to this while eating i take food in small increments. For many years i have had troubles eating this way. I used to start eating fast and then it slows down and the slowest is when i am not able to eat any more but some food is left in my plate.
It was hard for me to say no when people out of love/concern serve excessive food as i was lean.
Then my friend helped me saying "No" and not to feel embarrassed about it. Also not to worry if food is left in my plate. If you can't eat just stop eating. This step helped me a lot. I was more comfortable while eating as i did not have to finish the entire plate.
Just a year before i had a watched a video about eating habits. In it they described that it good to eat when you are full of hunger rather the just eating on time even thought you don't feel hungry. Many of us may have even forgotten how it feels like to be hungry. Also another key thought that at you first burp while eating you can stop eating. The burp indicates the opening of the stomach to large intestine and the food is on the way to next processing. Usually we over eat and burden our stomach. Due to this our stomach gets weak and also we don't get enough nutrition and energy. Basically this lowers your
efficiency of conversion of food into energy.
So if you are not sure how much you should eat stop at the first burp. Offcouse some times food is so delicious you want to eat upto you neck . Occationally this is fine.Over practive you will know how much you can consume so it digests at great efficiency and live healthy.
You do not have to believe any this of this. You can just try and feel the difference.
