A Stupid Holiday Appetite Control Trick
Hey Guys, the following is a tip sent to me by Adam Steer of BodyweightExerciseRevolution.com:
It takes your body about 20 minutes to register a feeling of fullness, also called satiety. When you scarf down a plate of food in under 7 minutes — which an awful pile of people do — then you could conceivably make it back to the buffet table three times before you even start feeling even a bit full!
So here’s the tip…
It’s actually a two parter. When you take a mouthful, immediately put down your utensils. I mean physically let them go — don’t touch them at all. Don’t prepare your next bite while you are still chewing.
Wait until you have thoroughly chewed and swallowed your food.
And here’s part two. Now that you’ve swallowed, you STILL aren’t allowed to touch the silverware. Take a second to say something tosomeone else at the table before you prepare your next mouthful.
Who knows, you may even start an enjoyable conversation.
Not only is this more social — and a more enjoyable way to spend your meal — but it’ll take you a lot longer to eat and you’ll be more likely to feel it when you start to get full.
Try this “stupid” trick the next time you’re faced with a holiday buffet and I bet you’ll end up eating a lot less than you normally would. It all adds up…
Here’s to healthy holiday eating!
Cheers,
Adam
