Eating slowly is a great way to control your portion sizes and help you lose weight.
This is the fourth article in a series of fast fat burning tips.
Eating slowly is another great way to help make you feel full and
prevent you from snacking. I covered this idea in the previous
article, and I'd like to add another technique for doing so. The first
thing you need to realize is that your brain tells you you're full, not
your stomach. It takes time for your brain to realize that you've
eaten enough, which means that by adjusting the speed at which you eat
your food, you can control how much you eat before feeling full.
Chances
are you've had the experience of being really hungry, but not being
able to eat much when you finally sit down to eat a meal. This
suggests that how hungry you are doesn't affect the amount of food
required to make you feel full. Chances are you were eating slowly,
and your brain told you you were full before you had eaten very much.
For those who constantly feel hungry and have a hard time controlling
what they eat, this is great. You can eat less and still feel as full
as you always do. For those who have a hard time stopping themselves
from eating even after they feel full, a general rule of thumb is to
eat until you're no longer hungry, not until you're completely full.
Changing your eating habits is a difficult thing to do, but with
practice and a little discipline, you can start seeing great results.
