The golden rule number 4 is : when you think you are full , STOP EATING .
The natural design of the human body is to eat when we're hungry and stop when we're satisfied . But many of us are conditioned to eat until we think we're full - or even worse , until whatever food we put on our plate is gone .
To lose weight effortlessly and keep it off , you must being working with your body and not against it .
How to feel satisfied ? In reality , when you've eaten enough , your stomach sends a signal - a sensation that says , " I'm satisfied - that's enough "
Although studies have shown that it can take up to twenty minutes for that signal to reach your brain , when you slow down your eating speed and eat more consciously , it becomes easier and easier to notice this signal as soon as it's sent . Most people experience it as a gentle , clear , satisfied sensation in their solar plexus ( the area below your ribcage but above your stomach ) .
Even if you miss this warm feeling of satisfaction when it first occurs , there's another way to know that your stomach is full . As soon as you've had had enough to eat , you'll notice that each subsequent bite of food becomes a little less enjoyable than the one before . The more you pay attention to this phenomenon , the more obvious it becomes .
Since continuing to eat after this satisfied feeling begins to emanate from your solar plexus produces distinct and ever increasing sensations of discomfort , it is important that as soon as you begin to notice this discomfort , you stop eating immediately , no matter how much or how little food is left on your plate .
Next thursday we will talk about the hunger scale .
