Just taking a wee bit more food, after you've already had your portion, can count against your calories for the day, AND inevitably sabotage your weight loss! You're working toooooo hard for that to happen!! Remember 1 portion, 1 plateful, 1 serving!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY this little TRICK....the 20 minute RULE!
What is it, and how can you use it? When you are done your meal, set your clock for 20 minutes, that is how long it take for your mind to signal your belly, "Hey I'm full!"
We all need a reminder of this! It's easy to fall into an uncomfortable feeling of "overfull", thinking that this is how we should feel at mealtimes. NOPE! You should feel satisfied, done, and full of energy, not slothing it on the couch after a meal ready for a nap, ya dig? (save that for Thanksgiving ;) Train your brain to understand what full is, not "roll me out the restaurant door full", and you will see a difference in that scale in no time!
