The body has natural internal signals that tell a person when they are hungry and when they are full. Most Americans have learned to ignore the signal that they are full (and a select few have learned to ignore the signal that they are hungry, AKA Anorexia...learn how to win the fight against Anorexia "humor": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybmrrEFMG0A).
I want to talk about the greater portion of the U.S. population that don't recognize the "full" signal. These people were probably raised in a home where their parents had the saying, "Better to let your food go to Waist than to go to waste." They were literally taught to ignore these signs. This could be one of the many reasons for the high rate of obesity in America.
If you are one of these people, try something for me. Leave a little bit of food on your plate at the end of a meal. This will work with your brain to help you re-learn to listen to your body's natural signals of satiety once again.
