Eating right for Gut Health means:

Eat twice as often

Eat half as much

Chew twice as long

 

When you eat more often, and in smaller amounts (mini meals), you won’t feel super hungry (starvation mode) or uncomfortably full.  Also, slowing down and taking time to chew the food allows you to enjoy the food more and not overeat. It takes time, 20 minutes to be exact, for your brain to realize that you are full. (That’s a long period of time to potentially keep eating.)
