Menopause women know that overweight problem is too big to hide. After failed many diet programs and pills, many people give up the hope. To eat less is the best way to lose weight, but it is easy to say and hard to do. People say "I always feel hungry."
I have some psychological tricks which can fool your hunger feeling.
1. Eat slowly is the best trick to eat less. It takes about 20 minutes for the food you eat to be digested enough for the glucose to enter the bloodstream, and then your body starts having a sense of "fullness". Practicing slowly eating-habit to really taste and savor your food-can give your body time to get the "stop" signal. Do you remember that? When you ordered 3 dishes at a restaurant, if the last dish came about 10 minutes late, you didn't have the desire to eat anymore. So eat slowly and allow your hormone to tell your brain that you've started eating. By the way, using chopsticks is a way to eat slowly, because you have to pick up pieces one by one.
2. To use small bowls is a simple optical illusion to fool your brain too. The same amount of wine will make you feel different if you pour it in different glasses. In bars, bartenders pour a single shot of alcohol into a short, wide glass, in order to let you feel just a little bit of it. Therefore use small bowls instead of big plates for food, you will feel eat much more and send your brain the message.
3. Don't confuse thirsty with hungry. Brain research showed that the earliest sensation for thirst is actually perceived by us as hunger. When it is not meal time, you often feel hungry. Drink water first, and wait for 10 minutes. If you still feel hungry, eat fresh and dried fruits as snacks. By the way, do not drink soda drinks which contain too much sugar.
During menopause, women will easily get about 10 to 30 pounds in abdominal area. By using those tricks; you can lose weight safely and permanently.
