Stomach management is a new term that I use to describe the proper way to manage your foods intake so that your stomach hunger can be managed best.
We often feel a really terrible hunger but when we eat the
food, and yet after we eat a large amount of food due to the hunger that we
feel, a few hour afterwards we feel a kind of tingling stomachache.
Not a terrible stomachache, but a feeling that occurs when
our stomach is too full. Yet during the eating process we don't feel full at
all. That has something to do with stomach management.
Researches done in Pennsylvania University stated that women
who eat large amount salad from negative calories ingredients will have a
decrease in average calories consumption at a meal.
Let me sum below all the conclusions that you can derive
from that statement.
1.
Appetizer is the key to stomach management.
Appetizer is derived from French word which
means to arouse your appetite. So appetizer is food that is meant to make you
eat more main course. A
Appetizer is also meant to serve the
waiting period before the main course is prepared. But how appetizer can be the
key to stomach management ?
First we must look into the statement from
Pennsylvania University. They said that women who eat "salad". So this
means your appetizer must be salad, and it must be salad that contains negative
calories ingredients. By eating a large amount of salad before your main
course, your stomach will be fuller which means you will eat smaller amount of
main course.
Further research detail also showed that
women who do not eat salad as appetizer end up consuming 100 more calories than
the women who consume salad as appetizer.
2.
The dressing of the salad determine your average
calories consumption.
The ingredients nor the dressing of the salad
must not contain cheese or other full milk dairy product, remember that the low
calories ingredients here are the key.The dressing of your salad appetizer must
be a low fat dressing. (Here's a link to my low fat dressing salad recipe )
If the dressing is high in fat, then you will end up
increasing your calories consumption by as much as 17% since you will eat a
large amount of salad too.
3.
Are you a dish washer eater or not ?
Dish washer eater is a typical of eater
whose eating portion is determined by the amount of food served. Dish washer
eater will eat until the dish is clean no matter how much foods are served.
If you are a dish washer eater, you must make
sure that your main course amount is less than usual. Otherwise you will end up
eating more than your stomach allow you to.
4.
Your stomach is not made from super processor
chip.
Your stomach is not a high tech product, it's a prehistoric
object that is given by God or inherited from your ancestors. So your stomach
will think much much slower than your PC. Give your stomach time to think
before you stuff it with another food.
This is the reason why so many people get stomachache after
eating when they are starving.
When we feel terrible hunger, our body will be triggered to
eat as fast as possible, in fact way faster than our usual eating time which
means before our stomach give signal that it is full, a large amount of food is
already travelling downward.
So the key here is to wait a reasonable amount of time from
your appetizer to your main course. Pennsylvania University research showed
that 20 minutes is the best time that you should pass before you eat your main
course.
This will give your stomach enough time to think and signal
to your brain that they are already 70% or 80% full.
The moral of the story here is that healthy negative
calories fruits and vegetables are the key to your proper weight loss. Eating
salad made from negative calories ingredients help cut off your average
calories consumption.
That is why I highly appreciate those kind of fad diets that
emphasize on eating fruits and vegetables.
So make sure you do a proper stomach management next time
you dine out at fancy restaurant, or even on your today's dinner.
