Hara hachi bu
"Hara hachi bu" is a Japanese concept that promotes the practice of eating until you are 80% full. Here's a short description of how to implement it:
Mindful Eating: Be aware of your body's hunger and fullness signals while you eat. Slow down and pay attention to how you feel as you consume your meal.
Portion Control: Serve yourself smaller portions than you might typically eat, and aim to stop eating when you feel about 80% full.
Listen to Your Body: Pause periodically during your meal to assess your level of fullness. Avoid overeating by stopping when you feel satisfied but not overly stuffed.
Savor Your Food: Take time to enjoy the flavors and textures of your meal. Eating slowly can help you feel more satisfied with less food.
