7 Simple Slimming Secrets To Lose Body Fat
Simple Slimming Secret #3: Don’t Get Full
By Amy Fournier
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, 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.

My husband always makes fun of me because I eat slow. But I know that it takes the brain 20 minutes to realize you are full…great tip 🙂
Eating several small meals or snacks a day definitely helps with losing weight. I still have trouble knowing whether I am starving or just moody and feel like I want more! But I am getting better at it!
