I have a bunch of errands to do today but I wanted to pop in and say good morning to my blogger friends and share my thoughts for the day.
There is nothing I hate worse than feeling stuffed and bloated a few minutes after I finish eating. I've often wondered why on earth didn't I stop eating sooner.
Now I know that it takes 20 minutes after I've stopped eating for my brain to send the message that I'm not hungry anymore. If you stop eating when you feel satisfied instead of completely full, you will consume less calories and within in 20 minutes you will be full with no desire for more to eat.
Another way to help you feel fuller and more satisfied with less food is too eat slower and chew your food well. Eating slower gives your stomach more time to start working on the digestive process. When you eat your entire meal in 5 minutes, there is a good chance your will find yourself suffering from indigestion.
Your body uses a ton of energy to digest food and in return burns a lot of calories. Chewing your food 30-50 times helps you to digest your food more easily which can help you lose weight. It also forces you to eat slower. I have to admit I do not chew my food that many times. However, I am going to give it try at least for a week and see if improves my weight loss.
Until Next Time .... Eat slower and chew your food more.
