So one of
the 9 simple rules from one of my blogposts from last week was “don’t eat too much”.
Eating too
much is somewhat hard to decipher, how much is too much, how much is too little,
and when you at the same time are increasing the amount you train, it becomes even
more difficult to find a good ballance.
Here are some
tips to eating less
- Drink a large glass of water 30-15 minutes before a meal
- Drink a large glass of water while eating sipping in between bites not just waiting until you have eaten and then drinking.
- Chew your food extra thoroughly (something I personally need to improve. I tend to just swallow my food
- Use a smaller plate, a smaller plate will look full faster than a larger plate you will tend to fill the plate up regardless of its size.
- Take salads/vegies first, they fill a lot of the plate making room for less of the “heavier food”
- Avoid bringing your pots and pans into the living room, take a serving, and then pack the food away or let it cool off, eat in another room, and don’t go back for seconds, and if your really feel like you need some more to fill your stomach, go for veggies.
- Pack left overs in potion sizes, instead of keeping the left overs as a big pile pack them into potions and just take one when you need lunch or dinner.
- take 15-20% less food than you would normally, this should come naturally with the smaller plates
Following these tips might be easier said than done, but i will attempt to follow them as best i can in the following weeks
