Only Eat When You’re Hungry

Stop When You’re Full

Learning to stop when you’re full is also extremely important. If you keep eating until you feel like you’re going to explode, you’re going to stretch your stomach and you’ll get into the habit.

Chewing very slowly, as much as possible before swallowing will give your body time to register when it is full. It’ll also stop you from experiencing any issues with digestion.

Avoid Fad Diets
