1. Eat less: the 80% rule少吃：八分饱原则
According to the Okinawans, you should eat until you’re 80% full. Okinawans call this rule “Hara Hachi Bu”. Here’s a simple fact: it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to inform your brain that you’re full. So when you start to feel like you’re kinda full, you probably are hitting the limit of your appetite.
日本冲绳人认为应该吃到八分饱，冲绳人将这条原则称为“八分饱”。告诉你一件简单的事：大脑需要15至20分钟才能知道你吃饱了，所以当你感觉有点饱时可能就是吃够了。
2. Eat slowly & chew more细嚼慢咽
Digesting your food actually starts in your mouth. So the more you chew, the better you can digest the food when it reaches your stomach. Tip: Don’t hold anything in your hands while you’re chewing. So tonight, I challenge you to put down your cutlery and just focus on chewing while you’re eating.
消化食物其实是从嘴里开始的，所以嚼得越细食物到达胃时消化得越好。温馨提示：咀嚼时手里不要拿任何东西。所以今晚我建议你吃饭时放下餐具，专心咀嚼。
3. Create a consistent eating routine吃饭有规律
When your body doesn’t know when it’s getting food again, your body will go full “survival mode”. Your body will start storing every meal as fat in fear of running out of energy reserve. None of us want that. But how frequent should you eat? Some people say eating every 2 to 3 hours is the way to go. Others say intermittent fasting works for them. Others eat like the kids – consistent eating routine. Whatever works for your body.
身体不知道什么时候能再获得食物时就会全面开启“生存模式”，身体开始把每顿饭都储存成脂肪，以防能量储备不足，这是我们都不希望看到的。但每餐应该间隔多久呢？有人说应该每餐相隔2至3小时，还有人说偶尔禁食对他们有好处，还有人像孩子一样定时吃饭，只要适合你就可以。
