Surrounded with delicious veggie food temptation and thought vegetarian foods won’t make them as fat as meat-eaters, many vegetarians forget this plain, simple advice – eat when hungry, stop when full.
They eat at every opportunity – family or friends’ gatherings, weddings, birthday parties, company functions etc, even though they don’t feel hungry at all.
Some even eat out of boredom or to relieve stress while others eat only at the point of starving, leading to binging and overeating without them realizing it. Then they complain about bloated tummy and indigestion after meals.
Are you one of them?
Guess what happens in the long run? You grow fat around your midsection sticking out your love handle, thighs, buttocks and arms. All of a sudden, you realize you transform from size 10 to size 16.
Learn to recognize your hunger and exercise control over what and how much you eat. If you stick to regular meal times, you won’t likely feel so starved that you binge at the first sight of food.
Keep some healthful, organic snacks at hand like apples, coconut or whole meal crackers, dried apricots, nuts or soymilk, in case your hunger pangs strike while you’re in the middle of a task and you can’t leave to eat.
You should also cultivate habit of eating only 70% full.
Also, slow down your eating speed to give your stomach sufficient time to register satiety with your brain. Once your brain detects this signal, it’ll make you stop eating automatically.
However, I don’t encourage you to waste food by leaving unfinished food on your plate when you don’t feel like eating anymore. Instead, I encourage you to request for smaller portions or share food with your friends.
