Sometimes food tastes so good you just want to keep eating, and eating, and eating…and you stop only when you’re too darn stuffed to take another bite!
Why is that?! It really doesn’t feel so good afterwards. Your pants are so tight you have to discreetly unbutton them and all you really want to do is sprawl out on the couch!
Does eating a large quantity of food actually make you feel more satisfied…or could you feel just as satisfied—or even more so-- just by approaching the whole thing a little differently?
Ok, are you ready for this?
What if you try eating until you “aren’t hungry” rather than until you’re “full”? I know…it sounds a little crazy, but stay with me for a minute. Have you ever had the experience of going out and eating a big lunch and when you get back to the office all you want to do is curl up and take a nap?
It takes a lot of energy to digest and process all of that food! And when you eat more than you need you just end up storing the excess as fat!
I know…sometimes the food tastes so amazing you don’t want to miss a single bite! But you can always put another serving away in the fridge and eat it later! You can double the pleasure and skip being stuffed. I think of it as…eat a little, burn it up…eat a little, burn it up…
It’s like eating to the point of giving your body energy rather than eating yourself into a coma!
Ok, so the holidays are officially here! You know what this means… holiday parties, all of your favorite dishes and desserts, cocktails, and more. So how in the heck do you get through the holidays without gaining a bunch of unwanted pounds? Tune in next week for my December Countdown and I’ll share all my best tricks with you!
