Here are some tips to cut back on amount of junk food you eat
Stop eating when you feel satisfied , not when your stomach feels
full
![Page 7: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
After you are done eating , your stomach should feel good not hurt or stretched
Eat when you really feel hungry
Don’t starve yourself between meals
If you eat between meals you will not be as hungry at the meal times so you might eat less then
![Page 8: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Remember the most portion sizes at fast food
restaurants are too big
![Page 9: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Remember that your stomach is about the size of your fist and it will get bigger if you are used to eat a lot of food at one time
The stomach is a muscle that stretches if it is overfilled
Have 5-6 small meals a day instead of 2-3 big ones
It will keep your metabolism active and keep you from getting too hungry anytime in the day
![Page 10: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Have breakfast everyday (if you are not fasting)
This will start your metabolism early in the morning since it slows down in the night when you are sleeping
Watching television or videos everyday makes you want to eat more . It also slows down your metabolism since you are not moving
![Page 11: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Don’t waste calories on drinks with sugar
It will give you calories but will not make you feel full
![Page 12: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Eat slowly and chew your food well Chew food for 10-20 times each time
when you put food in your mouth It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to
feel full once you put food in it
![Page 13: The Dangers of a Fast Food Diet and Guide to better nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816690550346895dda6a07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Don’t eat for two hours before going to bed
Remember, there is a difference between being hungry and having an appetite
Sometimes we eat when we are not really hungry because we have craving for something
Hunger is the signal from the brain that our bodies need food
