Did you know it takes your brain about 20 minutes to figure out that you are full?
March 1, 2010
So if you are inhaling your meals in less than 20 minutes, you may be over-consuming calories your body has no physical need for. Slow down your meal time by eating slower before determining whether you are full. Drink enough water with your meal and engage in conversation so your brain has a chance to register that you are full. You may find that you don’t have to eat nearly as much to be satisfied. After all, controlling your portions is one of the keys to successful weight loss.
Also, you can shave about 100 calories by not adding butter or mayonaise to your sandwich, 140 calories by skipping the regular soda and a whopping 300 calories by choosing a hamburger instead of a “Big Mac”! (and of course, that’s only on your cheat days!) Over time this equals big weight loss. Small changes mean big results!
