It can be said that the trouble with eating has been a long-standing thing for me.
Later, I found that many people had the same experience as me: I didn’t know what to eat every day, often had a bad stomach, or often overeaten and felt stomachache. When I had dinner with friends and colleagues, the table was filled with food I didn’t like.
I have lived in a city for a long time. When friends come and go, I don’t know which restaurant to take them to entertain them. Some of them, like me, don’t pay attention to their diet, which ruins their stomach and intestines over time... Well, I decided not to indulge myself anymore.
My arrogant stomach needs care and attention, just like my unpredictable temper. If I can't get along with my stomach, then it will get in trouble with me in the form of stomach pain.
So, here are some of my thoughts on how to eat when I am struggling with my stomach, and they are all general thoughts that have nothing to do with food.
In fact, many people understand that no matter how delicious the food is, if you eat too much and your stomach is full, the rest will be uncomfortable, but sometimes it is difficult to do so.
When you encounter delicious food, do you have to eat more?
I think this may have something to do with my own mentality. When I was in college, I had a gay friend who really liked eating buffets. Every time he went there, he would be so hungry that he would go in and hold on until he came out. But is this really happy and satisfying?
My grandma has experienced some difficult times since the founding of the People's Republic of China. She has a natural fear of hunger. Every year during the Chinese New Year, even if we juniors are very full, she still has to put vegetables into our bowls.
She was afraid that we wouldn't be full. If we answered that we were full, she would force us to continue eating because it would be a waste if we didn't eat.
In recent years, I finally changed her view. I used the fact that I had a bad gastrointestinal condition to persuade her: If you continue to force me to eat these vegetables, it will cost me more money to waste food than to go to the hospital if I have an upset stomach.
, more medicine money is wasted, and I have to suffer.
It is indeed easy to be greedy for delicious food. If you are greedy, you will easily overeat. Overeating will make your stomach upset. So now, even if it is a particularly delicious dish, I don’t eat too much.
So why should you eat something that doesn’t taste good?
Yes, I often experience some dinner parties. The person who orders at the dinner party almost orders all the dishes that I don’t like. You don’t think so? There are no such coincidences in life. Let me tell you, at dinner parties, this kind of thing
There are quite a few such coincidences.
But even if the table is full of dishes that I don’t like, I will force myself to eat a few bites, at least to fill my stomach. It is good for the stomach and intestines in one aspect, and more importantly: life is full of surprises, you never know what your next meal will be.
What time is the dinner party?
I have experienced something like this. I had a lunch that I didn’t like. I guessed that I had a late breakfast and was not very hungry. Also, I didn’t like the food, so I almost didn’t eat it. I wanted to wait until dinner.
Go out and eat something delicious by yourself.
However, I had to work overtime for an urgent matter that day and encountered an unexpected traffic jam on the highway during a thunderstorm. It was past ten o'clock in the evening when I had dinner.
When I'm hungry, the meal I abandoned at noon has become a food I miss so much.
Carry an umbrella frequently and bring food when you are hungry. I understood the simple truth that the old people said at a very young age.
Therefore, no matter how unpalatable the dish is, it is better than having an empty stomach.
Eating in small bites is a little eating technique I learned from Zen Buddhism.
There is a very famous Zen master in Vietnam called Thich Nhat Hanh. He is very influential in the West and wrote a book called "The Miracle of Mindfulness."
One day, the Zen master and one of his students, Jim, were eating oranges together. Jim broke off a piece before finishing the piece in his mouth, and then talked to the Zen master while eating.
Then the Zen master asked him, are you eating oranges?
Do you know what orange tastes like?
Then Jim suddenly realized that although he had eaten a whole orange in one go, he had eaten in such a hurry and was talking while eating. As a result, after finishing the whole orange, he did not appreciate the taste of the orange, but focused on eating.
Every segment of the orange is the real person who knows how to eat oranges.
This story inspired me to use the method I often use to eat now: "Eat in small bites: eat the food in small portions and savor it carefully." There are many benefits of eating in small bites: 1. It is very easy to eat in small bites
Making yourself feel full is not only good for your stomach and intestines, but also good for weight loss; 2. Eating in small bites allows you to taste the deliciousness of food more carefully; 3. Eating in small bites looks more elegant and helps improve your eating image.
4. Eating in small bites means eating less each time. As long as the total amount of food you eat remains the same, you can try more combinations of dishes. Anyone who knows a little bit about eating knows that the order of eating is correct.
The taste of food has an impact. For example, after eating greasy food, eating light food will feel more delicious than normal.
In the age of mobile phones, people often like to play with their mobile phones while eating.
Personally, I don’t actually think there’s anything wrong with using my phone while eating.
