Eating Just Half Has Surprise Results

We are used to cleaning our plate.  I always marveled how my daughter as an adolescent would push away her plate with food on it and say I am full.  Not many adults can do that.  I have learned to do it and there are a few nice surprises.

I cook most of my meals and it is easy to just take half of what I cook. If needed, I can always access the rest. But what I find is that after ten minutes, what I ate fills me fine. I can eat the rest later. I also feel better eating less. Eating less maintains more blood circulating in the body to bring blood and oxygen to the brain instead of to the digestive process.

Since I write a lot during the day, I want to feel mentally energized without having to resort to coffee.  If you have mentally taxing work,  stressful work, or even work involving exercise, less food makes you more productive.   The key is to eat less but eat more often.

Many people will say that is not possible. There are all kinds of small snacks that can be appealing, satisfying, and energizing.  Fruit, nuts and raisins, cheese, peanuts, and lots of water are good appeasers and energizers.

When hungry or tired reach for a few glasses of water first.  Our early man body was used to getting water from food and thinks it still can. Therefore, hunger is often a false signal.  Tiredness can often be abated by increasing our blood and oxygen supply, which water does immediately. It increases our blood volume.

Athletic coaches want athletes to hydrate before events to increase blood volume and oxygen.

Eating less than you want is great discipline. The most powerful asset you possess is controlling your mind. Living disciplined, focusing on tasks, pushing the envelope by taking risks, living in gratitude, being kind to others are all exercises in mind control.
