10. PRACTISE ‘HARA HACHI BUN ME’—
EATING ONLY UNTIL YOU’RE 80% FULL.
Eat until you are 80% full. According to the Japanese,
“hara hachi bun me”, roughly translates to “eat until
you are 80% full”. Eating until you are 100% is likely
to bring on discomfort, negative feelings or even
feeling the need to purge. Applying the “hara hachi
bun me” rule means you miss out on that sensation
of feeling too full.
11. LEAD AN ACTIVE
LIFESTYLE.
Get active and stay active. Exercise
can help burn off excess calories.
Exercise also offers numerous
health benefits, including boosting
your mood, strengthening your
cardiovascular system and reducing
your blood pressure.
12. SNACK ON FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES.
Eat whole vegetables and fruit at each meal and
as snacks. Vegetables and fruits are low in calories,
have fibre and can help you to feel full. Eat the fruit
rather than drink juice. Juice does not contain fibre,
and even unsweetened juices are high in sugar and
calories.
