We indulge ourselves with food eggs, sausage, milk, cheeseburgers, fries, shakes, smoothies, soda, chips, pizza, ect. day after day, how much is really too much? It takes fifteen minutes for our body to tell our brain that we are full. How much do we really eat in fifteen minutes before it is too late, of being over stuffed? Feeling bloated, getting heartburn, and an aching tummy. It can start of by going to eat at a restaurant and your parents saying that you better finish all your food and not waste it. What are you supposed to order that you can finish everything on your plate? Or should the question be why does the American serving so big compared to so many other countries.
Your stomach is supposed to be the size of your fist, but it will expand if you eat more than that and can possibly stay stretched out if that is you’re normal eating habit. I had my wisdom teeth pulled about a week and half ago and for one week I had nothing but liquids, frozen things that would dissolve in my mouth or ice cream. A couple of days ago for the first time in a week I had a chili dog with fries for brunch and I had two chicken enchiladas with beans for dinner and like an hour later my stomach felt like it was going to explode and I did not really even eat that much throughout the day. We could really eat less on a day basis and not be hungry and as time goes on your body with adapt to it.
It just continues to amaze me that the slower that we eat the healthier we would be. But the food taste so good we just eat so quickly and we eat and eat and eat like we cannot get enough of it. So many foods work against our body and those are the ones that seem to taste the best. Consider this when you go to the grocery store how my isle of healthy food is there compared to ice cream, chips, soda, and so much processed frozen food isles.

We eat too much and don't even know it. Maybe we need to put less on our plate. It can't start in the resturaunts, but at home we have control over how much we make and how much we put on our plate. If we want to we can refrain from putting too much on our plate, by taking smaller portions. Eating the right foods is also up to us. We need to take the time to investigate tasty recipe's that sound satisfying, so that we don't feel disappointed when eating healthy. If we just found those recipe's and knew to eat less, we'd be happy, healthy, individuals. It's easy, so why don't you start eating better.
ReplyDeleteOf course we live to eat! Food is one the greatest pleasures in the world. We eat and eat and eat because we want to try new and exciting foods that we have never experience before. That sense of curiosity that is inside each and every one keeps us dreaming about the food that we’ve always desire. For example, as a child before trying ice cream, we did not know that amazing creamy milky vanilla, chocolate or strawberry taste. Always wondering about the texture, the flavor, the sensation that ice cream has, but as we all took our first bite we found out the wonders of ice cream. Foods are like the seasons, always changing which keeps us wanting more.
