The 80% Rule of Eating

We are not wired for restraint, particularly when it comes to food. When you eat beyond seity and 100% of its normal capacity, it will stretch. And that is how obesity happens. The 80% rule works because it takes about 15 to 20 minutes for stomach receptors to signal seity. If you override your body's natural inclination to stop eating when it's had enough over and over, it can take a while to wake up.
