How Portion Sizing Contributes to Belly Fat
Understanding why you have belly fat is more than just paying attention to how much you eat. It’s about how much you eat at a time, and how much of each thing you eat.
 One of the more difficult things about getting food consumption down to manageable levels is battling that feeling of still being hungry. You’ve gotten so used to how much you eat, you feel like you’ll go insane eating less.
The key to getting a better handle on how you got those love handles and belly fat is getting a grip on the portions you eat.
Multiple university studies researching the fattening of society have shown that food portion sizes have increased to more than 40 percent larger than they were 50 years ago. You’ve gotten used to eating more.
But getting better at burning fat isn’t the only thing that warrants your attention here. By eating too much at a sitting, that is, too much of each item, you’re causing problems with your body being able to digest what you eat. Even worse, you are changing the way your body decides what it needs.
- Your body only digests food at one particular rate. It can only process so much at one time.
Larger portions cause stresses on the system that make it create more acid to handle the load, causing indigestion, heartburn, reflux and other bothers. This excess acid in higher levels and ending up in places where it doesn’t belong, actually causing the acids to do damage to surrounding tissues.
To protect your body from these acids, your body packs on additional belly fat to shield you from these harmfull substances.
- Cramming in too much food at a time begins to change how the body signals itself (and you) that it’s full and it’s time to stop eating.
The body learns on a stimulus-response basis.
The more you cram in on a regular basis, your digestive begins to pay less attention to those signals. In fact, research has shown that habitual large eating will begin to alter the “full” signal itself. Overeating begins to inhibit the chemical signal that tells you to stop because the system has received all it needs.
- Trying to process too much food at one time decreases the efficiency of the digestive process. At some point, it just has to all get through there, and more gets pushed through without being completely absorbed. Think about it this way: the system uses a certain amount of enzymes and acids at each digestive session. The more food that gets pushed into the same amount of digestive acids and enzymes, the less there is to go around to do the job.
An overworked digestive system simply doesn’t work as effectively. That means you don’t get full benefit of what you eat.
Don’t despair! There are simple strategies for better managing your portion size and how much you eat at each meal.
- Don’t scarf your food. Slow down, chew the food. Eating more slowly has been shown to allow the body’s monitors to more easily discern when there’s enough food in the system, enhancing your body’s ability to feel full with less food.
- Don’t feel obligated to eat everything. Most restaurant portions today are enough for two sittings for a great many people.
- Always sit down when you eat. An don’t loosen your belt. The additional pressure on your abdomen can help you feel like there’s less room, helping you feel fuller faster.
By eating more slowly and in portions your body can absorb, your give your bodie’s natural chemical sensors a chance to release the “satisfied” signal. If you’re eating too fast, youj get more in there than the system can process…
