This is called the “80-20 Rule” and it’s a good rule of thumb to remember every time you eat: Eat until you feel satisfied, but to stop just before you are full.
You never want to feel “stuffed”. This requires you to stay in touch with your body’s physical signals of hunger and fullness while you are eating.
It’s important that you do not overeat. Overeating sets off a cascade of negative consequences including decreased energy, digestive distress, indigestion and of course, extra fat storage!
Eat Slowly And Mindfully
Eat slowly, chew your food well and remember to tune into your body as you eat so you can be aware of that subtle feeling of when you are no longer physically hungry…and then stop eating. Put the fork down, the plate away and go do something else.
You can always eat more later. This will give you more energy after you eat, make you feel “lighter”, enhance your digestion and help you lose weight.

Women are heroes. They have always been heroes.
Being heroes, they hide their identity behind the costumes of everyday life. Hidden from view, doing daily deeds unseen by others, they allow others to shine – the bosses, the kids, the men, the parents, the friends in their lives.
