Does anyone really know? Truly a question of the millennia.

Chew thoroughly. That aids (the energy the body has to expend on) digestion *a lot*. But the body secretes a hormone to message that you are full 15 to 20 minutes after starting your meal. In other words, if you chomp it down like you're living in a famine, you will never experience that sensation. Generally, you should know your body, how hungry you are, and how you tend to feel after a meal. You should be able to measure it out visually, that way. It's easy enough to tell when you're trying to sate some emotions, or whether you are generally hungry, if you start to listen to your body. The other thing is, I shouldn't imagine you'd need to eat more than 500-600 calories in a meal, if doing it that way helps?

You can't rely on your brain to tell you when to stop eating because it takes a few minutes for it to get the message.

If you do that, chances are you'll overeat. Just try to understand what's the appropriate amount of food you should be eating and stick to that.

That's how I lost some weight. 🙂

When I am no longer hungry. I don't like to eat to the point of obvious "fullness" but contentment, though I do cross those boundaries if it's epically delicious of course.

I drink a glass of water before each meal, then stop when I feel full.

@Levin Why?

[BigLabs56]

"Clever girl" it was a compliment

[Levin]

Just came to my mind. Just my silliness. Forgive me.

[LunaLawliet]

@Levin It's cool.

[Megabeauty]

they say you should not eat until you feel full.. you should only eat until you're no longer hungry

[Flurr]

Yeah they say a lot of shit, like don't take pills with booze, but who the fuck listens to them anyway? Lol

[Megabeauty]

just answering the question. that was the advice I got about over eating

[Flurr]

Throwing up is a good sign to stop, lol. I keep eating until I'm too full to eat more.

[astrOnaut01]

I don't stop eating a meal until it's finished. Or at least, I try my hardest to.

[RicochetLove]

I get sick of the taste of food real quick, so that's generally when I stop. I need to eat more.

[brocklee]

Strict, precise, portion control.

[MadeInAmerica]

When there is no more on my plate.

[tricia103]

Stop eating once you feel full.

[AlwaysAGoodDay]

That limit can be higher or lower from person to person. Someone that is already obese for example might have a stretched stomach which will increase their limit before they feel full.

There are two things you can do.

A. Never eat till you feel tired. (If you do feel tired from eating then you probably ate too much)

B. Just flat out monitor your calorie intake for each meal.

I apologize I got a little carried away there considering the content of the question asked haha.

[Yanoa_Yanza]

When I feel like throwing up if I'd eat any more

[Dred1614returns]

When the meal is gone.

[starstruckk]
