Here’s what’s wrong with the growing waistlines of Americans. Babies are born knowing to eat when they are hungry, and stop when they are comfortable. But as we grow up and are exposed to fad diets, advertising, food used as a reward, many of us unlearn this beautifully balanced way of eating and begin to overeat. Yet eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are comfortable is one of the keys to healthy eating and living. Experts say there are things you can do to make yourself more likely to stop eating when you are comfortable. First, eat slowly. Be aware, make the first bites count, use a smaller plate and choose satisfying foods.
