I always eat alot during meal time and in between too, I just keep eating and eating and I can never tell when I'm full unless my stomach is like bulging. ._. Is there a way to tell when I'm full before this.. (cxause I seem to have gained some weight >_>)

If your gainig weight from over eating, try to control what you eat instead... eat more times so your never hungry but smaller meals. You can always try the water technique. Meaning drink lots of water when you eat because water helps you get full easier

[FRUITYCHEESECAKE]

drinking between bites isn't healthy.
try to eat SLOWER. chew your food for longer (at least few more seconds) and swallow.
this should reduce your intake amount and the brain will actually have enough time to tell you that you are full before you over eat.

eat slowly and drink water.
then you'll notice.

I have the same problem...=/

I don't really understand the feeling of "full" unless it's bloated, or else I feel like there is more room left in my stomach to eat. I'm going to try to portion my food though, like plan beforehand what I think is a filling amount, and then eat just that.

growing teens eat a lot, i mean a lot
they are always hungryz =]
just take more careful notice of what you eat, but its good to know that your eating more lol
and of course watch what you eat and dont eat unhealthy junk food etc etc.

You don't need to eat till you are full. You eat till you don't feel any hunger pangs anymore...it's easier to do this. Trying to reach "fullness" might make you overeat.

If you are bloated, then logically if you eat only 1/2 of the serving, you should be only half-bloated, which is enough.

Try chewing your food 7-15 times, drinking a gulp of water every few bites ~ and giving yourself smaller portions. Also wait 20-30 minutes and see how you feel ~ Im sure someone will tell you that biologically it takes your body 20+ minutes to realize its full.

[littlejade]

that's the only way to tell your full.. if u feeel bloated.
there isn't another way.

U had a full meal.

Eat slower and take pauses between bites. Also if possible try to eat with people, so you can hold conversations and therefore eat slower.

[minwoo012]

its true! eating slowly helps a lot!
savory each bite ;D and it'll last!

It's been studied extensively, and society is largely at fault for you having issues with food control; we wean ourselves off of portion control and dumb down our nerves by the way we function as a societal group (in the US). Some things you can do:

1.) Listen to soft, slow music when eating. Will keep your heart rate down, keep your digestive process regular, and allow for better digestion.
2.) Eat slower. Try learning to eat continental style, it will really slow your rate and help you feel your intake better, plus if you ever get business professional, it's good to know.
3.) Portion your food out before you begin to eat. Don't eat out of the pot or directly from a cooking dish. Put it on a plate, and visualize the food; eat appropriate amounts, and when you've eaten enough, you've eaten enough. You don't need to feel bloated.
4.) Drink at least one full glass of water with each meal. Will improve digestion and help you control intake rate.
5.) Increase vegetable and fruit intake, reduce carbohydrate and protein intake.

Those are some starter points, I hope it helps =)

I know what you mean, I had this problem before too. What worked for me, as people here have said, was eating slower. It really works. If you're at home, watch television while you're eating or read the newspaper, just do something other than just eating. That way, you'll take a bite, pause a bit to read the paper or whatever, and you won't be eating as fast. It does work, trust me. Good luck!
