Are you an over eater?

Are you an over eater and/or large portion eater?

Eating in large portions may have you feeling full for longer but have you ever taken into consideration what it may be doing to your stomach? Eating large portions stretch out your stomach and that's why in a lot of case after eating like this for a while you don't get full as fast and also you get hungry a lot faster. Overeating is one of the biggest causes of belly fat and weight gain in my perspective.

In my opinion- Yes, I was the biggest over eater and large portion eater. I firmly believe this why I had such a hard time achieving the loss in my stomach region as I planned to during the beginning my journey. (and yes, your stomach region may be in fact the hardest part to lose ) In fact, I still haven't fully cut down all meals I eat as much as I should. Let's just be real its a work in progress, I love my food. 

To be successful in not overeating and stopping with the large portioned meals, you must gradually cut meals back, rather than scooping out that extra bit of rice or pasta stop with the first scoop. Yes, it may be hard because your body is used to eating a certain way but understanding that your body will crave more food but not always in need of food because you have stretched your stomach over time. Once you get this urge of over eating uncontrol, which in some cases it may take some time depending on how mentally strong-willed you are but it will help you achieve a healthier - happier stomach.

Some easy tips I could give is eating healthy and nutrition packed meals but in smaller portions 4 to 6 times a day rather than 1 to 2 large meals  and that includes snacks also, you don't always need to eat a meal with you eat. Something else that may also help a bit was/is drinking cold lemon water before eating, so even if you pack your plate up with food, you wont finish it all. both of these tips may also help promote weight loss.

* I would like to point out I am not a doctor nor a nutritionist nor did i go to school for anything of that sort this is just what I have learned from my experience of losing the weight I have lost over the last 3 years and has now become a passion of mine, in which I want to share with my friends, family and anyone else in the world who wants to read.*
